It aint over til it's over!

I have spent several months, since December, losing very slowly - maybe a pound a month, nothing some months. I haven't been too stressed, because I have been losing inches all the while, but I have wondered if my weight loss is done or not, about 10 pounds shy of my goal. Well, this month I have for some reason dropped 5 pounds. This astounds me, as I haven't really been doing anything different - just keeping on with the program - protein, supplements, fluids, pretty low carb, minimal treats (including a square or two of extra bittersweet chocolate every day!)

The moral of the story is: KEEP IT UP - STALLS HAPPEN - BE REWARDED BY KEEPING UP GOOD HABITS, FEELING GREAT, LOOKING GOOD - NOT JUST BY THE SCALE!

This is a nice message for us to just keep the course and things will happen. I need this to happen with me. I have been fighting the losing game for months, not gaining, just not losing. I am so close to goal it hurts, you have given me a new boost so maybe it will get me over the hump and into the next phase so I can get these last few lbs off ............and I would love to do it this month so at my one year mark I can reach my goal.

Happy for you, lets persevere and make this happen........thanks for this post that has helped remind me that I will get there as long as I stick to my plan.

Continued good losing to you and to the rest of us LOSERS here on OH!!

To Jimbo, yes it is funny about this being a compliment and I don't mind being called a Loser now.

These last lbs do need to beatin down, I think I am actually going to have to do some exercise to make them disappear............uuugggghhhhhhhh................but it will be good for me.
