I found the group Progress not Perfection and promptly joined, because, I'm not perfect and I wanted to be with other non-perfect people. Sometimes it seems like everyone else is eating less than a thousand calories a day and exercising for hours, like I'm the only one who struggles..so, I joined, hoping it might help. So I finally get it, I don't stay within my calorie range everyday but I do overeat less than I used to, and I've been using my Leslie Sansone tapes a lot, and, here's where I still feel ok about myself-even though the scale isn't moving, I notice (and my boyfriend has noticed) that I'm getting a little smaller. I also notice it's easier to get up in the morning, I'm sleeping better, I'm less winded going up stairs, I think my skin looks better. I'm telling you it's working! You really do have to go by lots of other criteria than just the number on the scale. Baby steps really do add up-thank you SP!
