Can anyone say failure!!! Boy I can! I thought I was doing so well and I even peaked a couple times though the 9 days to see if I was doing any good and according to the scale I was...that is until I got on the scale yesterday morning for my official 10 day weigh in and it didn't move....what gives! I just don't get it, but now I am more determined then ever to get this flippen weight off! I feel frumpy and I am starting to eat everything in site because I am depressed! THIS CAN'T HAPPEN! Got up this morning and took the dogs for a run, about 3 miles I think, didn't run the whole time, but I did off and on....I am ready for this to be gone and ready to not be so obsessed with my weight issues! One day I look in the mirror and I think I am doing go great and the next I hate myself again! I don't know if I am setting back into my depression stage again and just trying to ignore it or what the deal is, but it is time to say enough is enough and make myself happy with who I am. My hubby loves the way I look, he is always telling me that, but it doesn't do me any good, why is that? Why can the most important person in my life love me for who I am and how I look, but I can't???? This just sucks! I am so ready to be happy again....I am ready to join Misty and all the rest of you that are doing the challenge though April and I am going to do this! Hope everyone had a great weekend! My fresh start is tomorrow and there will be NO CHEATS!!!!!!!!

Ugh! I understand your frustration. I've definitely been there and think that most others here have as well. First off, look at what you've done... keep off 19 lbs. That's fantastic!
Have you changed your eating habits as a result? Likely!
You may weigh yourself tomorrow and find the scale down 3lbs. That happens to me all the time for no rhyme or reason.
Just keep on working on it and you will reach your goal.
Take a look at the book: Beck Diet Solution (www.beckdietsolution.com) next time you're in a bookstore. Read the first chapter to see if it makes sense. I'm still working through it but it has really changed the way that I look at food and dieting.
Good luck and we'll reach our goals together!

Hang in there, I know exactly how you feel. I too have a hubby that tells me he loves me just the way I am and that I look sexy to him. But for me, I hate the way I look. I weigh 226 right now and hate every pound. People always tell me I don't look like I weigh that much, but I sure feel it. Just keep doing what you can to eat right and exercise. I know that I am one to talk, cause I have trouble doing it too, but I do know that if I do what I preach it will work for me. You have done so much better than I, so keep up the good work.

I understand! My weigh in was very discouraging as well. No matter how good our loved ones tell us we look, we have to believe it first. We just need to focus again and get these pounds off! We can do it.

Remember, your goal weight loss should be 10% at a time! So, the first go 'round you should have had the goal of 17.6 lbs, for a weight of 158.4. That means your new goal should be to lose 15.8 more lbs for a weight of 142.5. And you can SO totally do that by the middle of April! That's 3 months, and 5 lbs a month. You can do it! Maybe you and the hubby should find a dance class? Then you get exercise and shake your groove thang for your hubby. ;)

Girl, I know what you mean!! It can get frustrating when you know you're doing everything you know to do and it still isn't coming off. Keep your head up...your hubby seems like a great guy and just try to remember that he does love you for who you are and not what you look like. I don't know about you, but thank goodness for that with my hubby. Otherwise, he would have left a long time ago...hee hee!!:) You are doing great, just keep it up!! I'm in that contest too, so let's just encourage one another!!
