I’m stuck at 178 lbs. There was no change in my weight over the last week. It could have been worse. I spent three sedentary days in the mountains and “was forced” to eat two scrumptious desserts made by my sister Stephanie. I’m lucky I didn’t weigh in at 179 or 180 this week. It’s time to re-group and re-commit. The Ten Pounds Down Weight Loss Challenge reveals the flaws of human behavior. I am determined to do better in the weigh-in one week from today.
Right now it is looking doubtful that I will make my goal of losing ten pounds in ten weeks. It may take me twelve weeks or thirteen weeks. I wil make the weight goal of 174 sometime this summer!
How about you? How is your weight and fitness program going? Please bring us up to date.
I’m excited about a new 12 week program I may start soon. It begins with a sophisticated fitness test that will specify precisely what my body needs in terms of exercise. I’ll have more on that later.

I've managed to loose just over 21 pounds over exactly 2 months to the- with hard work and total nutrition change.
Still another 59 to go.
After loosing an initial 15 lbs with my own routine I hired a personal trainer to help give me that extra kick in the seat.
I'm working smart AND hard at my sessions and on my food choices. No more bread - with the execption of Ezekiel Sprout flourless bread (in the freezer section) and I only consume the 'outer ring' of the grocery store's products.
Your blog and the comments others make are definitely a motivation I appreciate! Every bit of encouragement is cruicial, whether you have to loose 10 or 100 pounds.
Keep it up everyone! -Jen
