Heading in the right direction

As far as weight loss goes all weeks are not created equal. Even if you put your best efforts out every week there are other factors that can effect your weight loss along the way. Hormones, illness, traveling, stress, drinking alot of water before you weight in :) and on and on, BUT if you are putting your BEST EFFORTS out every week you will keep heading in the right direction. You might have a big loss one week and not lose any the next. You also might gain 1 lb one week then head into the biggest loss you have ever had(-4 lbs), just to jump back up a pound the next week. If you think about the long run you are headed in the right direction. Ideally we want to have consistent losses but sometimes your body takes some time to adjust to the changes despite your hours and hours of hard work. That is called a plateau. That can be a clue you need to up your efforts. The most important thing is to stay on track. Don't fall in to old habits of nibbling here or there. Push your self harder on your workouts. Make sure you are counting those calories. See your progress and Know you are doing well. Slow and steady not only win the race but in the long run is healthier and gives you a better chance of really making a life long change for the better. You are all going well! KEEP IT UP!!!
