Remember that weight loss is NEVER constant (unless you decide to starve yourself and workout for 6 hours a day like the guys on biggest loser in which case you are putting your body at risk of all sorts of other health problems). Measure yourself at the same time each month so you have a constant factor that you can predict for. Make sure you stay positive - focus on what you want and never forget the people reading this blog that are inspired by your constant efforts!!!

Don't worry about 10 lbs. Pounds come and go. It's when you worry that more come. Just continue to do what you believe works and it will work out. This my first time here. Don’t worry about 10 lbs.

The trick is to take it one day at a time and PLAN! My highest weight was 209, and in one year I got down to 137. I was able to maintain that weight (up to 142) for 6 years, until I became insulin dependent. All of a sudden, I could eat two pieces of pizza instead of half of one piece - just give myself more insulin to make up the balance! Well guess what, in one year I gained 30 pounds! So I got a grip, and the day after labor day of this year started my blog in order to hold myself accountable. And you know what? It's working! As of October 1 (I decided not to weigh myself more than once a month - too many fluctuations day to day) I weighed 163, I'd lost 7 pounds! And I know I am continuing to do well because I can now fit into my size 12 pants - sweet! So hang in there, I know its hard, but when you put your mind to it, you can do it!

I got behind on blog reading due to the whole family getting the tummy flu last week so I missed this! It's no wonder with all the stress in your life........hurricanes, new jobs, moving etc......that you could derail. You just need to pick yourself up, dust yourself up, forget about the past and take today as day 1 on your journey. Take the time to take care of YOU! The rest just falls into place ;) I promise not to go this long again without visiting you! awww….Ruthie!!!!

Sorry to hear you're going through a low period. I can definitely relate. Keep your head up and know that as long as you don't give up, you will succeed with your weight loss goals. Hey Ruthie!
