Celebrating Seven Pounds Down in September! 247.0 pounds, - 1.3 pounds today, - 86 pounds overall, 14 pounds from my goal of losing 100 pounds

I lost 7 pounds in September! That is a win and I am celebrating it as I should.

I had originally set a goal to lose a lot more weight, but I learned my lesson: set reasonable goals that can be achieved. My experience has shown me it’s much better to celebrate smaller wins than it is to lose more weight but still come up short of your goal.

The speed of weight loss isn’t as important as the momentum in the right direction over time. Progress is progress, and when you stack small wins together, they add up to big results.

Lesson learned: Success comes from steady, sustainable momentum.
