My weight fluctuates on any given day - water retention, pms, hormones, blah, blah, blah. So I don’t really go by numbers when it comes to losing weight (except to get under 200).
My ultimate goal is to have a healthier lifestyle and to get rid of the belly fat. I’ve started with small goals because when I make big goals I don’t reach them. Then I get upset, give up, and so on. Now I aim small and take one baby step at a time. Eventually it will become habit and I’ll up the ante from there. For now I met my goal to exercise three times a week for thirty minutes and here’s my weight.

You’re absolutely right about taking it one step at a time. I used to go on a diet and get disappointed when I didn’t lose 10 pounds my first week. I’d get discouraged and after 3 weeks, it was over. Any loss is still a loss and even if I gain a small amount, if I know what I did or didn’t do right, I can build on that.
We’ll pray for your continued success!!
