Squats, knee highs, (stepping up on high step/bench) and mountain climbers and lunges strengthen your core which is good. Did a lot with my PT. However, it won't spot reduce thighs or bum etc. No exercise will. It will help firm though and trust me the thighs will get smaller. It's alway the last place most of us lose from. Kee doing what you are doing.
Starting my slim and save journey 1st jan 2014 if the pack arrives by then...

MFP does not work for a vlcd
its based on calories in and out
HOWEVER it is good to log your weight just ignore the bit that says you are not losing enough
and its great to log your food and keep an eye on carbs fats and proteins - just ignore it telling you to eat more

Morning Priya. Ok if it's any consolation I weighed today and it's one pound up from Monday! I have stuck tool an too and the only thing I can think is I didn't have enough water yesterday as I was out and about. Had plenty of water the days before. Just reminding you daily weighing can get stuck go up as well as down. If you stuck to plan by Sunday you will see a drop in the scale I am convinced of it.
You were 10.4 not long ago and now you are 10.2 and so much closer to the 9's than before. Seeing it written down like that may help? I hope so
miserable le day up here in the north east too. Pouring with rain! Very dark. Think the traffic on school run isn't going to be fun

Morning!
Ive read the Beck solution, there's some good stuff in there. I found some bits really useful.
As for the scales, just look at what you were posting last week, you were stuck at 10.4 and look at where you are now. See they are moving really! Don't get disheartened, they will move. You'll be in the 9s very soon
Have a good day

10.2 is fantastic when you were struggling to get under 4. My scales are sticking these last few days but like Kira said I know it's because of water or the veg that I ate later than usual and my body's adjusting after last week. Think you are just thinking too much about the time left. One day at a time then you'll turn around and be stressing that you're 9.9 and want to be under 9.7 ;-)
Keep calm and have a good day

seeing it written down looks wonderful
the scales might be slow at the moment - but as said it will soon be under the 10 and that will be fantastic
have a great day - its a bit grey here in the west country but hoping for better during the day
and please dont stress over the weight as cortisol (stress hormone) in some studies is shown that the body starts to store fat - in our case it could mean we are hanging onto just a little bit more than we would have done
have a great day today
