I have finally (after many years) come the same realization, and it took a while for me to actually do it, because I didn't want to, either. It doesn't work for me unless I get in a good five days of exercise a week and cut down on the snacking, end of story. *sigh* I just got tired of looking at a frumpy, dumpy woman in the mirror. :D. I also wanted to weigh less and be in better shape for all of the hiking trips I go on. I can't tell you how much of a difference losing 10 pounds from last year made on this year's trip. Plus, the weights I have been doing really helped with endurance. I'm in a good groove at the moment, and I'd like to keep it up. I'm down 5.2 pounds for the month, which is a pound more than my goal for this month. I'm a happy camper at the moment. I would like to lose 10 more and be done with it, lol, and just maintain a healthy body weight. I can see that part of the finish line, finally. Since 2011, I'm down 31 pounds. It hasn't been easy a lot of the time, but it has been worth it.

 


Hang in there AF. I know it can be frustrating, but you are smart to focus on the much better choices you are making. Maybe it was just a little water weight. It happens to me if I have a lot of salt in my diet a day or two before I weigh in.
