Deb_N's Journal, 01 October 2014

This journal is long, so you may need to click on it to see the whole thing. I just want to say you can do this. Just stick with your plan. If you get into a plateau, change something! I made plenty of changes along the way. Change is good. If something does not work for you, do something else. You can figure out what you need to do. My plan: 1) eat a healthy diet, 2) exercise or walk more, 3) get enough sleep, and 4) reduce your stress. Yes, it's not easy, but you can work on it and get better at it and succeed.

I calculated my September weight loss & updated my monthly weight loss total. Thanks to Tulipgirl for getting me to do this every month. :)

January: 1 lb lost - gaining and losing the same five pounds over and over!
February: 9 lbs lost - 5000 steps or 2.5 miles every day!
March: 5.2 lbs lost
April: 6.4 lbs lost
May: 6.2 lbs lost
June: 5.8 lbs lost
July: 5.6 lbs lost
August: 6 lbs lost
September 5.4 lbs lost
Total lost since January 1st: 50.6 lbs!

Notice the February weight loss is way more than other months, because I was walking 5000 steps a day. The more you move, the more you lose. Good luck, everyone! :)

Can I borrow your plan? It's a great one! And you're right it sounds so simple, but as we well know, it's not. One day at a time, though, my friend, and we can do it! xoxox

an inspiration for sure---how on earth did u get the time to walk 2.5 miles a day??? u are a tribute to the tortoise and the hare!

It is a simple plan, but it's not really my plan, I probably adapted it from my reading on the Internet. I always think the goal is to lose weight, but it's having healthy foods, good exercise, enough sleep and some coping with stress. In my case, I use walking to cope with my stress, so I am doing good. :)

sleep and stress are the two variables that i have no control of and i think they r linked.

This is how it's done, just have to keep moving and watching the intake.

Thank you, everyone! I feel so positive and know that all of you can do this. We all have our own pace, some are losing fast and some are losing slow, but if we try our best and be consistent, we can succeed. :)
