I'm trying not to be as obsessed with the scale as I was the last time I lost weight. I allowed the numbers to affect me too much. Even when I lost weight, I obsessed that it wasn't enough. And then when I got to 255 lbs and didn't budge for months, I just gave up. I want to weigh in just once a month, but I hopped on there today, after just one week of my last weigh in. I've lost 6 lbs since last week! That was exciting. I also entered it into my Lose It! app so that the calories would adjust.
I do have to keep it in perspective though. Weight loss is just one sign that I'm getting healthier. I also need to focus on fitness and toning.

Congrats on the progress, Amy!
Your last paragraph was your most powerful and important. Otherwise, it's all temporary, as we both know only too well! :-O
Thanks for the reminder, I need to get movin too. :-)
I wonder if you are even thinking about this--do you think you could be content at 255 pounds this time? That is a tremendous amount of weight to lose, and sometimes I think we POW's (previously over weight) need to learn to be content at a higher than "normal" weight. Good luck on your journey! I admire you for continuing on.
Debby, you're right on. I can be happy at 255 lbs and wish I had that realization back then. I also know that I would have toned up more (even at 255 lbs) if I would have given it time.
Wonderful being going to your blog once again, it's been weeks to me. This report in which i am silently laid for such a long time
