Jun 1st... I now weigh six pounds less than I weighed May 1st...

My goal has been ten pounds a month and I lost four pounds in April and now six pounds in May.

I have "mixed" feelings... I am thirteen pounds behind my original schedule...

Do I need to re-visit my goals? Do I need to "shape up" (I know I have been going off my plan for greater periods and the results show it :(

Or should I take a proverbial "pill" and relax. Thirty Seven Pounds since Feb 1st is still an accomplishment.

I had originally thought of taking new pictures at fifty pound intervals, might revise that to seventy-five pound intervals (I hate taking pictures ;-)

Another rough month ahead... lots of special occasions. But if this is to be the new me, I have to learn to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and special holidays in a manner that doesn't negatively affect me greatly.

I think I am going to let go the thirteen pounds I am behind the goals set originally and start Jun 1st fresh with a clean slate, POSITIVE that June will be a good month for me. Hopefully you will see ten pounds less of me on July 1st =)

Hang in there - it's a challenge but well worth the benefits of losing weight.

No way....get pissed, dial back down....celebrate your successes. Cherish them, but re-dial down. You've motivated me. I've lost about 10 over the last 2 months. You're post motivates me further. I'm pissed (determined) and more focused than ever. I can't walk away...nor should you. Keep me posted. This is great stuff!!!!

That's right Chris, take a pill! Relax you are doing great!! Fantastic in fact!! Be- cause......you also have been going down and not up anything further so that is double the down ;) Get it? No worries for your June celebrations, just walk a bit more, get up and move a bit more.....and celebrate with food only a tiny bit.....just remember its a new life, its not a diet! Looking forward to hearing your results on July 1st. Now where will we walk to ................

Thank You Judy, I have had to add extra knotches to my belt =)

Thanks Larry, I think we just have to want to do it, I have needed to do this for years, and in January my "reason" became important to me... the rest just kind of followed.

Al & Peggy, you are so much more than "friends" to me. It feels like you sort of adopted me twenty years ago ;-) Thank You for all your encouragement, I think it is a little like Saving Our Planet, it really is as simple as learning to make better choices consistently =)

I'd say you're 37 pounds ahead Chris, not behind! This is quite an accomplishment and it will take time...besides, there's plenty of that so relax your mind and just keep moving ahead, because you already are ahead! You can do it!

Chris - You are doing quite well. You are not gaining weight which is also important. Looking forward to seeing the new you.

Thank You Wanda, It feels a lot better to celebrate the success than to dwell on the failures.

Marc, Thanks. Yes We often trip down Markham way in the summer, will try and meet, if only for a coffee (in our reusable mugs ;-) when we decide to take the winding route on the way to the cottage.
