Scott in Florida - 41 weeks

[scottinflorida]

Stayed the same this week, not an ounce higher or lower.  Seems like these last 12 pounds are wanting to take longer than the first 68!  No matter, my resolve is stronger.

This is the difference between temporary weight loss (like wanting to look good for a particular event) and long-term weight loss (wanting to have a healthy life).  Once you have the proper mindset, the day to day ups and downs don't really matter.

Hope you all have a great week!

You're absolutely correct Scott!

I think the last few pounds take the longest to lose because they have been on our bodies the longest.

This would have to do with our bodies' "set points".
See this for a concise explanation; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setpoint_%28control_system%29

By following the FTS rules, our bodies have no choice but to eventually lose their excess FAT!

Scott,  you say it so perfectly. 
My scale hasn't moved all month.  Re-adjusting, plateau, stall...whatever you want to call it...but I will not give up!  It doesn't matter.  This is the way I live now, this is how I eat now, this is how I exercise now...the rest doesn't matter.

Thanks for the link Tony.  Knowledge is power!

Keep moving forward, and stay the course...no matter what...it works!
