Can you post how much weight you have lost, how long it has taken and any stalls etc? I think I am expecting to lose weight really fast when in reality I know it will take awhile. thanks

Sharla, Unlike the other ladies I haven't been doing to well. I lost only twenty pounds last year (290 to 270), but you've got to start somewhere. I started coming to this board about a month ago and have been using them for strength and encouragement. Last month I actually gain 5 pounds. My depression is getting in the way. This month I am resolved to do better. I've started to exercise more regularly, drink more water and I'm giving up pop. It's not much, but one thing at a time. Good Luck! Hugs, Brenda

I've lost over 40lbs since October 2003. I've had stalls, plateaus, fell off the wagon, etc. But I always keep trying. I read somewhere that "If you never quit, you really haven't failed". Words of wisdom.

Anywho, yes, it would of been nice (I guess) to have lost more. But I'm glad that I didn't lose too quickly else I'd have more of a wingspan from all the lose skin! LOL.

One thing that I am really adamant about is getting my exercise in. That way, if I fall off a bit, it doesn't matter too much.

Takin' it easy and enjoying the journey is more important. After all, don't we all have enough crap in our life to deal with? Also, I don't weigh myself that often, maybe once a month.
