I finally started to show a little progress over the last couple of weeks as well, I was completely stalled for over a month, but now have lost 2.5 pounds since 9.10, that's big news for me. Since I started tracking on 7.9.10 I am down 7 pounds, I had written a post complaining about lack of progress back in August, but looking at the longer term, I feel pretty good about this. My current goals right now is to lose 2 more pounds by 10.9, then 5 more from there for 12.11. I would love and could use to lose more, but trying to take a realistic approach knowing how slowly my body responds.
And DH said I looked "skinny" last night, lol, I love that word.

Fall and Winter, believe it or not, are the seasons where I really REALLY work hard. Mentally, physically....it just all comes together for me in these 2 seasons. Many people have issues with the dead-of-winter-blues...but I tend to THRIVE. Interesting.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, GANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta agree with that, I have more activities planned in the summer than any other time of year, so I tend to miss more workouts overall, so for me my most active workout time is generally from January through early May, the weather stinks, I don't want to go out so I work out more and cook more meals at home, also there are very few holidays to contend with. Come to think of it, that's my slower period at work too, so it all adds up to being able to give my workouts and eating most of my attention.
Here's to more progress!!

summers also mean the kids are out of school. even though they are older, 5 and up, its still harder for me to w/o when they are home, or awake. same on weekends. its just mental.
basically all summer i was stalled at the same wt. then i listened to IOWL, did some self reflection, and stopped expecting the scale to move. improve muscle, consistent exercise. aug. was a good month. but i still stayed the same.
sept came, had this nasty sickness, then last week i was mostly feeling better. i weigh near every day. checked last mon. lost 5#. 1 day. just fell off. i was all excited but didnt believe it would stay. super dehydrated? idk. never figured it out. talked about it on my check in on here. now today i'm down again. 8# loss from plateu(sp). i'm not restricting cals, not exercising for hours. but i'm doing a no binges challenge. 18 days, i think. doing my best to only eat when i'm hungry. pretty simple.
after so long of feeling sooo frustrated and nothing happening, this feels like hallaliluya! (sp) a few more # and i'll be in overweight bmi category. but the greatest feeling is pushing past the 'wall'. the wt you are stuck at. it happens to us all.
so i've been feeling good these last few wks, and just want to help keep others motivated,bc everyone helps me so much. we are all different shapes and sizes, but we all struggle sometimes. some of us always struggle mentally. thats why its great to support each other, motivated, help when we are feeling down. we're not alone, and thats so important.

It's hard to get motivated to work up a sweat when it's hot & muggy too. Don't know about you, but I don't have air conditioning. Still, there's something primal about having sweat run off you. My favorite time to hug my child.
