Comment on A bag full of flour by Amy

Woo hoo! I’m so excited for you, Jill! 5 pounds in a month is wonderful! And just wait – when you hit the 10-lb. mark, it’ll start to feel “real,” and when you hit 20, you’ll die from the sheer bliss of it all. I’m so excited for you that you’re on this journey. I just know that you’re going to have continued success.

Jillies – What an honest post. You are what you are, and I, for one, think you’re faboo!

What types of things do you assess when you take your “daily check?” What types of minor adjustments seem to keep you more on-track? This is an interesting concept.

Jill – You won’t collapse. And if you get tired, I’ll be there to help hold you up. You’re doing wonderfully! Yes, it’ll take time, but when you’re done, you’ll have the rest of your life to enjoy your new body. Don’t worry so much about a final goal now – just take it 5 or 10 lbs. at a time. Your “happy weight” will reveal itself as you approach it. You go, girl!

Comment on It’s a slow road by Amy

Jill – you’re absolutely right. Slow and steady DOES win the race, and it keeps you from getting overwhelmed and giving up. So keep with it, and give yourself due credit for your success! 1.6 lbs. is a beautiful weight loss – just right, as you should be aiming for 1-2 lbs. a week. And you definitely should take advantage of that hotel gym! You’ll be so proud of yourself and feel so accomplished. Though, I wouldn’t recommend knitting while biking. You could take an eye out!

Jill – That’s wonderful! 1.8 lbs. in a week is a very good loss. I’m so proud of you! If you keep going like that (in general, I mean, ’cause you won’t lose that much every week), you’ll be well on your way. You go, girl! Doesn’t it feel good?

Comment on Weighty Matters by Amy

Jill – that is a really interesting perspective. It’s funny – I had almost the opposite mindset – I was sort of in denial about being heavy, and always pictured myself as thin. It was almost as if I considered being heavy a temporary condition, and I knew, deep down, that it was only a matter of time until I did something about it. It was like I knew that I wouldn’t be that way forever. So, your perspective is really intriguing to me, and I can understand how, if you can’t picture yourself any other way than heavy, it would be really hard to be motivated to lose weight. All I can say is this: if you don’t even have any idea or image of what you would possibly look like slim, then just imagine what fun it will be to “uncover” the slim you! It will be like a constant delightful surprise to discover what you look like as the pounds melt off and you discover bones and muscles you didn’t even know you had. Does that make sense? It’ll be like Christmas all the time. Does that help motivate you? I hope so! I’m always here for help and support, and I know that you can do it if you put your mind to it.
