I haven’t posted in several days. I’ve been waiting to be able to announce that I’m at 10 pounds lost.
But alas, I’m still not there. UGH!! Weight loss has started slowing down for me. The first 8-9 pounds came off fairly easy. Then everything grinded to a halt. Guess my body is thinking, “what the heck is she doing?!” The past week the scale has been bouncing back and forth between two numbers, refusing to go any lower. Only one more pound to go till I’ve lost 10… but it’s taking forever.
No worries, I am not giving up though. I’ve set myself a goal that once I make it to 15 pounds, I get to buy myself a purse in one of the new Vera Bradley patterns. If that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is!

Great motivation, Cathy! Hang in there and that pound will soon be gone! :good:

Most excellent. I love the idea of a tangible goal like a purse to get motivated. Sometimes, when I’ve hit a plateau, I try to mix up something either by intensifying my exercise or in WW talk, eat the lowest # of points one day, the higher the # of points the next – and switching back and forth. It has helped me in the past. Regardless, I think it’s great that you’re not giving up!

Good for you. Setting goals and rewards for reaching them can really be such a motivator.
You have a great attitude, keep it up!

That is the best goal except for shoes. I love shoes. I am also stealing your idea. When I lose 10 lbs (I am down 4) I am buying myself a new pair of shoes.
Just relax, the last pound will come off. I promise.
