The T-Tapp 60-day challenge ended last Wednesday, and I have sort of been in a funk ever since. Well, not really a FUNK.... but disappointed in myself. I was doing soooo awesome the first 30 days, and then I sort of feel like I lost all control and started hurtling back into my natural tendency of emotional eating. Maybe it was the four pounds I lost in one day when I had the flu a few weeks ago? I don't know. It just seems like since the two weeks we had the flu here that I ate practically everything I could get my hands on. Thankfully my measurements were still down, but not as much as I had hoped considering how hard I worked. The important thing is that I made a concentrated effort and really did make a change in my body right before hardcore swimsuit season, and got down to my goal of being a size 10.
I'm a little scared that I'll be out of the running because I don't know if I entered the correct category. When I look in the mirror I don't generally feel like I'm smaller, even though I obviously am (it is hard to believe I was a size 18 or 16 at this time last year!!).... so I feel like I'm not a less-to-lose person. I still feel like I could go down at least another size. But what if I CAN'T? Or I shouldn't? I really wish that I had done the skeletal set point when the T-Tapp office offered it a couple years ago.... it would've helped me figure out what I do now, now that I've met my goal. Do I make a new one? Or do I maintain? What do I do??!!
....and then there were 5.

Hi Jen!
You did great. You reached your goal size and you stuck it out for the challenge. Unlike me... I really fell off this time.
The skeletal setpoint can help you figure out how small your body can physically get. You can always shoot for a smaller size, but may need to watch what you eat in addition to consistent exercise to maintain that size. Maybe your body is a comfortable size 10, but you have to really work to be an 8. Or maybe you could go to an 8, but would have to really work to be a 6. Try to set a new goal for the fall to be an 8 and see where that takes you. It can't hurt to try!
Take care Jen! :)
Thanks for the encouragement, Casey!
