Weigh-in & Weight Loss Frustration and Support, Ep17

Today I had my weigh-in and to be honest, I was soooo frustrated with my results!! I got the tape measure out as well to take my measurements– the scale won’t move, but again this week I’ve lost a few inches!!!! (check out ‘Weight Loss Progress Page on my blog– I’ve updated my weekly measurements and weigh-in). Despite the fact that the scale didn’t move much this week, I realized I need to gain perspective on the overall process– its now been a month and I have lost 9 pounds in total and 3 to 4 inches off my overall physique– that is fantastic!!!!

So today’s episode is about my weigh-in, my reaction and what I did to help me move forward and continue. The whole weight loss journey is full of ups and downs, but what is most important is to never give up.
