Over the past couple weeks, I've been paying more attention to myself and - even if I haven't been particularly inspired, I've been doing what I know to be right as far as diet and exercise. And it's paying off.
Although I'm not thrilled that this is weight that I'd already taken off (actually, it was right around this time last year - uggh), I've dropped 3.5 pounds in the last 2 1/2 weeks. So now I'm just going to keep on it and hopefully reach my short term goal (back to where I was last September) by the end of May.

Hey - That's GREAT!
You don't sound particularly thrilled, as if you expected to be much further along but hey - YOU ARE DOWN and that's a great way to break that plateau huh?
Keep it up - you'll get there :-)
Elicia,
I'm happy with the loss, but rather disgusted with myself that (1) it's weight that I gained back after having lost it last year, and (2) I still have more to lose in order to get back to where I was last summer/fall.
Don't get me wrong, I tried on all of the skinny pants in my closet this weekend (some fit, some didn't) over the loss. But at the same time I'm not yet up to stepping on the scales every morning. That's easiest when you are making progress, not trying to play catch-up.
BTW, your response to Kristina's last post (ba-dunka-dunk) cracked me up. You are such a riot!
That's the same way I was feeling this time around. If I hadn't let myself gain that weight back and then some,...
Well, I'm now past that because THIS TIME I lost the extra weight I gained and I'm still losing. You'll get there too. Make THIS TIME the time you stick with it.
I know - losing weight you've already lost once seems so, well, wasteful. Like we only get one chance to lose that weight, and if it doesn't take the first time, too bad. There is other weight in the world that needs losing.
(Aren't you glad there isn't really any rule like that? I'm thankful for second-chances!)
Melissa, honey, this is probably the twelfth time that I've lost this weight, if we're going to be honest and look back more than a year. While I'm thankful for second (and thirteenth) chances, they doesn't make it less of a bummer.
"Doesn't" should be "don't" - even if grumpy, I should at least be grammatically correct.
