I weighed 146.5 today!
I weighed 146.5 today. Woohoo! I am only 2.5 pounds away from my 100 pound weight loss goal. I am not trying any harder to lose the weight, yet I am losing 1 pound a week now (double what I was losing before). The only thing that has changed was giving up caffeine. Also, maybe my added lean muscle mass from lots of exercise has finally increased my metabolism. Anyway, I am thrilled!
My number 1 tip is always this: plan to be on a diet the rest of your life. If you do that, it doesn't matter how slow or fast the weight comes off. Consistent effort is the key.
 I went through all my old diet journals, and made an excel spreadsheet of my weight at various dates and graphed out my weight loss. You can see I had a plateau that lasted about a year. There have also been lots of ups and downs the past year...probably due to the fact that I am gaining muscle along with losing fat due to exercise. Anyway, the important thing is to keep plugging away at it! Slow and steady wins the race!
