Weight Loss without Worry

     The Biggest Loser contestants flew to Jamaica this week for a "vacation" and everyone lost a lot of weight.  Did anyone else find this ironic?  I think there is a great lesson here, sometimes you can work really hard at losing weight, you exercise every day and watch your food intake and at the end of the week the scale doesn’t reflect all your hard work.  But, if you stick to your plan, keep working hard and don’t get discouraged the scale will go down. 

     Last week Hollie cried when she "only" lost 3 pounds, this week she lost more weight than anyone else on the black team and avoided any possibility of elimination.

     Last week Amy reacted with tears when she saw her 1 pound loss, this week she lost 10 pounds.

     Last week David lost 1 pound, this week he lost 9.

     Last week Bryan lost 2 pounds, this week he lost 11.

    The scale is only one measurement of success don’t get too emotionally attached to the numbers.
