Hiya, some of you might remember me...

I was Palomino_girl, but I like this handle better. More appropriate!

What's been up with me? Welllll.....I'm back to square one. I back up around 270ish. I'm too scared to get on a scale! But I'll have too this week 'cause I want to be accountable. I want to document my "weigh" down the scale (again).

Let this be a lesson, NEVER get too comfy with weight loss. A bite here and a bite there does add up! Sure did for me! I WAS down to 225... Then a bite here and a bite there turned into the jungle run from hell.

Oh well, live and learn (again).

So out of the many paths to weightloss, I'm doing a combo of eating unprocessed foods, low-fat, calorie counting (not too low--that backfires), and journaling.

I've also been re-reading Susan Powter's "Stop the Insanity". I know, she rants! But there's some really good advice in it and she is entertaining as hell!!!
I heard about a rumor that her brother said she was never that fat (260lbs). However, I think she was. There are just too many feelings/experiences written in that book that only someone 100 lbs or over would have.

Hey Deb, didn't realize we were so close!! In June of '03 I was 280 and by Oct I was 223. Now I am 260 and feeling every pound of it!! I hurt all over and am never comfortable. So here I go again. I only want to get back to 223 for now. And am starting today!! Good luck to you.....Stephanie

Hi Deb, It is good to see you posting here again. I have been struggling with the bite here and there issue. I think that may be why my weight loss is so slow. sharla
