Default Omg i whooshed! Dance with me!

Yall, I had been stuck in a rut for two weeks. I was staying in extended induction out a a misguided belief that it would help me. Well, I had a small counseling session with Mitzi and Georgianna (I LOVE you guys), and decided to go on to OWL. I didn't see any weight loss on rung 1, but there were so many people at work watching every bite I took, I stuck with it JUST TO SPITE THEM at times. I moved on to rung 2 with no weight loss, thinking I was making a HUGE mistake. I stopped weighing myself and became addicted to Rock Band to express my angst.

I got on the scale this morning, and to my shock and awe, I lost FIVE pounds this week. I am so suprised. I mean, I rationalized to myself that it would happen the whole time I was stuck, but part of me really believed it wouldn't. We really are our own worst enemies, aren't we? At any rate, I am attacking the veggies with a new outlook. I took the "Weigh? No Way" challenge so maybe I can suprise myself again. And I am looking to the horizon... where I see FRUIT!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!! I too am in the "Weigh? No Way" challenge and that is going to be tough, but we can do it! I consider it something to look forward to each week which helps the time go by. Congrats on your loss!!!

Yay, that's fantastic!
Good job for moving up the rungs.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Congrats on the loss!! And WTG with moving onto the rungs when you were unsure. I think the guy that wrote the book might know what he's talking about
