weight lossIn every journey towards weight loss there is a point when you hit that wall. I was stuck behind this wall for some time. Even after decreasing the amount of crappy foods I ate and increasing the amount of cardio, I could not drop below 188 pounds. I started around 195 pounds. After going on a long jog yesterday, like normal I stepped on the scale before stepping into the shower. At first, the number did not register. I had to step off and see what it said again. I was not mistaken—It read 186. This was a huge accomplishment for me because it meant that all my weight loss work was beginning to pay off.

From what I read once that first bridge is crossed it is much easier to keep losing weight. I’ll see by the middle of this month. My goal is to drop back down to 180 pounds. From past experience, this seems like the right weight. There I’m thin but at the same time have some muscle on the bones. For anyone else hitting a weight loss wall right now, keep at it because the day will come when the scale shocks you.
