I am a little frustrated with the scale right now. I think it cheats and lies. I know that weight isn't everything and that success isn't based solely on weight loss, but I like to see that scale go down each week. I have been "weighing in" on the scale in my kitchen every week. Every week I have lost at least .1 lbs. This week, however, I gained a pound. Whats up with that?! I need some encouragement AND some advise on how to get past this. I have been eating healthy, following my work out plan, and doing crunches. What do I need to change?!?!?!?! PLEASE HELP!!!!

I am excited to say that.........my fiance has joined me in the weight loss/fitness struggle!!! We have been walking together and motivating each other. Its really great to have Jeremy working along side me. The peer pressure of eating fast food or laying on the couch all night is gone. We are now using peer pressure to get each other moving and eating healthy. Together, we wrote down weekly goal and long term goals. We are now accountable to each other. It feels great! The best part of all is that our ultimate goal is the same.....Be slimmer for our wedding on July 12th!!! We want to feel better and look better for ourselves and each other. Our next plan is to attend a healthy cooking class together. I have definitely noticed that when I work out I have no urge to eat crappy food. I am so excited that Jeremy and I are now helping each other to reach our goals. I will let you know how Jeremy does as well.
