we are all the same
I have been on this web site for just over 3 months now and it is so interesting to see how so many very different people go through such similar experiences. For example the first blogs are about “starting over” or ” a new day” or “gonna do it this time”. Then we move on to our excitement as those first pounds fall away and exercise begins, the “yeah me” phase. Then as excitment settles down, sometimes dissapointment in oneself for cheating or not doing exercise. Then here comes the dreaded plateau (this is my phase). My point is there are common themes throughout and if you read enough blogs, you will find someone who is struggleing just the way you are or celebrating just as you are. Its fantastic and I believe the reason blogging helps sustain weight loss. Its amazing that the support and advice of a complete stranger can mean so much. On that note, I hope everyone has a great week and achieves their goals!
P.S. after a 6 week lull I finally lost 1 whole pound!

I know, you reach the point when just sticking with it is the victory. I am amazed when I realize that this is the longest period in my adult life that I have been steadily losing, without giving up and starting over in worse shape than I was at the beginning. I weigh less now than I did 20 years ago when I got married to my sweetie! And I intend to reach my goal! The biggest challenges are the ‘dreaded Plateaus’ as you call them. Good luck with yours, it won’t last forever.
You can do it! Stick with it
We are in the same place……..started 12/14/2007……..you are correct we basically have the same exprerciences when it comes to this journey……just worked through a mini plateau………and had a breakthrough last week……the change of season……has helped……we need to make changes for a lifetime…..so these are little bumps in the road….
Congrats on that one pound. I knew upping that calorie intake would work! Have a great week.
