May 22

May 22
          We weighed in yesterday, and I was suprised that I lost weight this time around. It's only been 3 weeks since the last weigh in, and I had forgotten to weigh myself for the past 2 weeks. As I was going to step on the scale, I got this urgency, or nervousness about me all of a sudden, and that's when it dawned on me that I had not weighed myself at home this time around.. oops,, I did do better than the 6 ounces I had lost last time! Yeah!
    It was so great to see most everyone also! I had to weigh in early the past 2 times, therefore I haven't seen anyone since our first weigh in. What a difference a couple of months make! I noticed that everyone has trimmed down a lot! I can see it in their faces first, and then the rest of them! I was really suprised at how different most of the contestants look! (In a good way)! It seems that we've all plateaued that last month or so, and we're all looking forward to the nice weather, not only to get outside more, but to re-motivate us too!
     I still have my support system with my family and friends, and that really helps a lot! People at work are trying to lose weight, and it's good to share stories about what each of us is doing that's working for us.
I wish much success to everyone who's trying to lose weight! Get yourself a support system, talk about it, and then "just do it"!
