Welcome Pinky! Glad you stopped by.


Ginger had some really good advice. And it is very true that you might be gaining muscle, which weighs more than fat but takes up less room (inches). Hang in there and make sure you are eating good quality food like fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, low fat dairy. It will pay off.


Try to watch Oprah today too...maybe you will find a trick or two to help you. You may find you are not eating enough and that is why you are not losing as quickly as you would like.


Hope you come by more for support and motivation and if you need to, to vent.

Welcome, Pinky! Lots of good advice already. One of the best things I can reiterate is don't starve yourself. It causes major problems and there's no way you can stick to it for very long.
