I am feeling much more motivated to stay on track because of some successes:

My 12 year old daughter, who didn't have any weight to loose in order to be within the healthy range for her height, has lost 7lbs. When our health plan began around the 1st, she weighed 130, she is now down to 123lbs. (She's 5 foot 2). She was already pretty active in school and sports, even though she is not on an actively competing team right now, the weight has melted off with the new eating plan. She doesn't even exercise with me most days. She has also lost 2% points of body fat.

Since June 1st, I've lost 8 lbs.

My progress has been as follows:

June 1
185 lbs

June 5
181 lbs
41.2%
Largest upper arm: 13
Largest Bust: 44.5
Under bust: 35
Smallest Waist: 38
Waist-Just above navel: 39 ½
Widest Hips (both): 45
Widest This (1): 28 ¼
Widest Calf: 15 ½

June 7
178.8 lbs
41.8%

June 8
177.8 lbs
40.9%

June 9
179.2 lbs
40.9

June 11
178.8
40.7%

June 12
177.2
42%

Sometimes, even when I don't cheat, the scale doesn't show a loss like it should. My scale is supposed to be able to measure body fat, so it was really discouraging to read that gain on Friday 6/9/07. But if I take the gain as it was, and go from there, I am still losing.

Once I get to 174, I will be smaller than I've ever been in 8 years,(excluding my last pregnancy when I lost weight.) I can't wait!

Slow and steady wins the race!
