Well, this week my partner and I both didn't lose a damn pound.  This losing weight has always been a struggle for the both of us, but my mother has been really good about losing her weight.  I know if I put more effort into this process I would be able to lose more weight too.  So, this upcoming week, my girlfriend is joining me, not to lose weight but to tone up her body once again.  We will be using the gym here at our apartment complex, which should be alot of fun, because afterwards we are going to soak in the hot tub or take a sauna that is also in the clubhouse.  So the struggle to lose weight is still a work in progress, but you can't give up because when you give up, that's when you lose the faith, the confidence, the energy, and everything else that came with it.  No one said losing weight was going to be easy.
