In the past, when I have tried to lose weight, I have been stuck a plateau level...just around 291 or so. Well, I am glad to report that I was able to break through and see (finally) 289 on the scale. This is encouraging as it tells me that I have been doing things the right way (slow and steady). I even lost during the recovery phase of P90X. That is now over - I am beginning Phase 3 today - 6 days before the next weigh in. I might not lose as much as some of the other contestants this month, but it is a steady loss....I am looking forward to Saturday!
