need a bit of feed back please!

well today was weigh in day and the scale was at 235.8 exact same as last week! I am bummed but maybe the proof is in the pudding and if I was trully doing all I could be doing the scale would be moving. I hear people all the time say things like I didn't wanna do it but I just did and for awhile that has been my motto. Well the question at hand then turns to well then what the hell happened. It's not that I mind working out I do actually like it and Love saying I am sore because of a hard core workout. But somewhere I think I lost a piece of me that believes that not only can I do this but I am worth it. I am going to make this my motto once again. "JUST DO IT". Mornings were my rituals and need to be again. Hubby already said he would watch the baby so I could be at the gym MON-FRI at 5:30 am. So no excuse there. that way anyother workout I get in is icing on the cake.  Bought a whole bunch of "GOOD FOOD" too but there is still a lot of junk in the house nd while work is a good things cause it lets me be away from it so kids can finish it off I have started telling my self each time I go to the store the kids will eat what I buy and I don't need to buy the junk! I bought whole grain breads and bagels and english muffins and they have actually eaten some of it complainging all the way to the kitchen. but I havn't let up when the first bread was gone I borought more whole grain bread. Plenty of fruits and veggies now too and am making smaller dinner portions. I still have a long way to go but most days when I see no movement on the scale I just feel like I did not accomplish my goals, even when the trut is also in I havn't put any of the 38.8 pounds back on either. I was thinking about trying ALLI and a friend at work told me to doing more research about healthy eating and said she would bring in her womens health magazines. Somedays I wonder why even inspite of all the progress I have made is it soo easy to feel like I am not getting anywhere?

You have to keep thinking of the bigger picture and never let one poor result on the scales throw you from your objective.  The scales are only one small, crude indicator of success.   I think it's a major success that you're filling the house with healthy foods (your children will thank you for it in the long-run).  Working out is improving your health and getting started up again is therefore another big chalk-mark in the 'success' box.  Have you measured yourself recently so that you can compare before with after?  Do you have more energy? Is your skin clearer?  Has your BP (or other medical stats) improved?.... All these are the true monitors that you're getting somewhere. The scales will catch up eventually.

Ultimately, it comes down to sustained application of what really makes a difference... ie. eating the right amount for your size and activity level (not too little, not too much), eating nutritionally better foods and being as active as possible.  Pills aren't going to help... if they worked, there wouldn't be a single person overweight.

Good luck... I think you've set things up much better and you'll see progress from now on.

yes I have been measured and I know I am losing inches For some reason the stupid scale gets me everytime. I am greatful it hasn't gone up wich is another sign that somewhere something is working, however my BP is still rather high,As for skin I know everyone swears I look 10 years younger then I am so Skin is definitly healthy. Thanks I do fail to think of all the other things that go with life changes.

My advice:  KEEP READING!  The more you are in these chat groups the more you will realize there are a lot of people just like you, by no means are you alone on your feelings.  Take everyday as new and keep your goals small.  Don't set yourself up for failure....if the scale is bothering you and you know you are doing all you can, stay off it for atleast 2 to 3 weeks...than you just might have a pleasant surprise, but even if you don't trust day to day the weighing can really mess with your emotions.
