Day 49 - 7 weeks!!oh, the lovely scale. as i previously ranted, for the past few weeks i've been losing .4 lbs each week (my scale only does point-even-numbers). i was really hoping that this week i'd lose more than that and it would automatically bring me below 145. so today, i was at 145 on the dot!! how ridiculous! i lost .2 lbs. my goodness. so, i'm not mad, i actually laughed a little when i saw that this morning cuz seriously, even if i lost the .4 i have been i would have been at 144.8 which would bring me below 145 and i'd be ecstatic. oh well! atleast i lost something, right???so my goal for this week is to get more exercise. i believe that is my main reason for losing so slowly. i've been too lazy lately and that's just not ok. unfortunately, i can't buy any dance classes right now cuz i have no extra money for them. luckily, i have my gym membership to fall back on so its back to the elliptical machine! i started going again a couple days ago after my classes ran out (i buy 5 or 10 classes at a time) and i'll do my best to get there on most days. that's really the only reason i can think of as to why i'm losing so slowly. we'll see what happens next week!my current weight loss goals:lose 5 lbs by christmas - 140lbslose 5 more lbs by my birthday (jan 22) - 135lbsmy ultimate goal is 135. i'll have to see how i feel as i get there and once i do to find out if that's the right size for me or if i should go smaller or larger. i know that in college my lowest was 127 and that was too small so i think 135 should be good....but we'll see in a couple months hopefully!!

you are so similiar to me in our journey to lose weight. I too want to be below 140 by xmas and be at 130 by feb next year, i am proud of you for trucking on even though you are only losing 0.4 or 0.2 a week. I went for 4 weeks when i stayed at exactly 69.2kg (152.6) and it was the most frustrating thing ever. It only changed when i actually started exercising more, and really committed to it, no matter how tired i am, i still exercise 5 times a week.
Good effort love, you will be at 140 by xmas no sweat (well a little sweat from the workign out!!!) infact it is 4.5 weeks away so i would think you would be at 138 by then - i challenge you to it
hugs!
Have you tried adding spices to your food? They don\'t have calories and there is some evidence that they can speed up a matabolism that has been slowed by dieting. Enjoy the gym! They must be cheaper in LA than they are here, where no one I know can afford to be a member. We are talking hundreds and hundreds of pounds! Have a great weekend and congrats on losing weight. Any weight loss is to be celebrated even if it seems slow.
