Today it was time for another weigh-in, and again I was so nervous it took me several minutes of thinking back through the past 3 weeks before I built up the confidence to look at the scale.
I said, "No matter what I see on there today, these upcoming 3 weeks are going to be my best yet." And despite exceeding my goal of a 5-pound loss, I am reiterating that pledge now and committing to being my best over the next 3 weeks.
I have now lost 14 pounds in 6 weeks, but I'm nowhere near where I need to be so please, come alongside me with your support. I need your comments, even if it's just to say "Keep it up."
I am back to a familiar weight of 218, so I am anticipating a significant plateau during the next 3 weeks. It's up to me to work that much harder to break through it. Have you ever had to deal with plateaus? What do you suggest?
My short-term goal weight of 198 (not the same as my long-term goal weight of 170s or 160s) is only 20 pounds away. I can do this. I WILL DO THIS. If I get there, it will be for the first time in almost 10 years. And I'll never look back.
In fact, I'll keep going.
LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.
Joe, you CAN do this. I have utter confidence in that. There will be disappointments ahead. There may be weigh-ins where you didn't lose any weight. But as long as you keep pushing, you will win.
