Monday Morning Weigh-In

247.5

-.5

I earned another 5-pound star today. Total loss: 35 pounds.

Another one of the itty-bitty losses. At first they were infuriating, then the just ticked me off, and now I still find it a bit frustrating, yet it's the right direction. In the big picture, it all adds up. So I'll happily accept it. (And hope next week will bring a much bigger loss! lol)

  9. I know what you mean. A loss is a loss, and they all add up, but the bigger numbers generally add up faster (funny how math works).

    Keep on keeping on, Jo. You're doing great.

  11. Great job! Little losses can be painful to look at on the scale sometimes, until they add up - 35 pounds is great - keep up the wonderful job!

  12. What's the old phrase? Half of one (pound added together time after time), 6 dozen (pounds!) of another. Ha. anyway, thats awesome. thanks for sharing your half pound loss!

  13. Yea, that's partly why I like Kilos. Because a half a kilo is 1.1 lbs. Of course its not as fun when it is like 1 gram or something like that. It doesn't really matter--all the losses add up and keep you moving in the right direction!
