  • Re: Weigh? No Way! Challenge Support Thread

    Thanks for all the support. I was thrilled at having lost another 6 lbs and being under the 100 lb mark of what I need to loose.

    When I started in August, I knew I had to shed 125 lbs and the goal seemed so darn unattainable. Now, I finally look at my ticker and see 27 lbs gone and only 98 more to go and it doesn't seem so bad anymore.

    I guess my biggest piece of advice to anyone that has to get rid of more than one hundred pounds is to set up mini goals. If you look at things on a smaller scale it might not seem so hard to do and it might just keep you from getting fed up or discouraged and quitting.

    My new motto sums it all up....."You can't eat the whole steak in just one bite". You have to look at weight loss that way too. You can't shed 125 lbs overnight. You have to attack weight loss like you would the steak, one bite at a time. With a bit of work and a little time you'll reach your goal. The thing that eating the whole steak and Atkins has in common is that by the time you're done them....your very satisfied.

                  I hit 50 pounds gone, and passed it!!! I started a few days early but kept on through the whole challenge. My prior low was 49 pounds gone (and then some bouncing as is typical for me) but, as of Sunday morning, I was 52 pounds lighter then when I started in January. And so blessed excited about it I started dancing in the kitchen LOL.

                    I fell off the No Weigh wagon, so I didn't make it through the challenge.

                              I guess the challenge was a little easier for me -- I've been out of town the last 5 days!!

                              I ended up 5 pounds down. Woo hoo!

                              I'm going to try to limit my scale usage from now on. It actually felt good not to be obsessed with the scale.
                              A long time ago, I went from 317 to 234.
                              Today, I'm starting over again...
