Slow and steady will get me there..........



Slow and steady wins the race and even though this is the speed I seem to be going I will succeed. I had weigh in today and lost 1lb which does make me very happy. I've been on a plateau for a while now but finally things are crawling along.

It can be very frustrating as you all well know when the ole metal devil doesnt seem to move. I am learning that perseverance pays off in the end. I have to keep in mind that its much healthier for me to lose it slowly and I also need to remember this is a lifestyle change and not just a quick fix.

I hope all of my good blogging friends are having a great week. Thanks for the support you give me. :)

so great that you are such a LOSER!!! That must feel so good! I have been at this since last December. I didn't have that much to lose and thought I would be on maintenance by June.

But I have learned how to deal with food and my weight and my life in a way I never knew before. It's been a good road even if it has taken much longer than I thought.

You are absolutely right. Slow and steady is the way to go, yet it is so FRUSTRATING!! Just keep plugging away at it, and when you look back you will see how far you have come! Congrats...keep it up!!

Don't give up! Slow and steady DOES win the race. You are making changes and it takes time for your body to adjust. Even if you only lose 1 pound a week, in a year you are down 52 pounds. YOU WILL GET THERE!!!
