Ah Ha!! I knew you were off track, Meg, I check out your Fitday for ideas on food sometimes... yesterday I checked and there was nothing there, I then clicked the day before nothing, then the day before nothing... mmmmm something fishy here! I'm happy to see you're back on track... I'll be checking on ya
!
Silver -- Have you tried eating every 2-3 hrs? How is it going for you? Oh, and thank you for the Maintainers official welcome... are you the Welcome Wagon on this forum?
Sashenka -- Just go to the clinic and the heck with them...Congrats on the 2#...
karynlee -- There is nothing like lifting heavy and feeling strong!
Keep up the great work...
Elanajel -- I hope you're feeling better soon... I woke up with the sniffles this morning too, I'm not sure tho if it's a cold or from the cat sleeping near my face half the night!! Probably the cat, I feel fine now...
SusanB -- It's Saturday have you exercised today?? It's the exercise police here...

Speaking of hearing something a zillions times and finally having it sink in... Mrs.Jim always says it get easier with time... if the last 2 weeks are any indication of that, I must say I have had an extremely good 2 week.... I'm not saying I haven't eaten anything off, but it's been extremely controlled and easier... I've even gone out 5 times! I plug along eating the right foods, exercising, and I'm really not finding it that difficult... HONEST!! I may be tooting my own horn way too soon, and I'll be kicking myself this time next week
, but at the present I actually feel this way...
One thing that has motivated me is that at least 6 people have noticed my weight loss this week. A lot of people are taking double takes when they see me, or they look at me funny, and I know they are thinking, there is something different about me... It’s all very strange because the scale hasn’t moved in a long time, but we know that even if the scale is a very helpful tool, it’s also not an accurate tool.... In the past when someone would have notice my weight loss I would have said: “Woohoo! I can go back and eat now!” NOT anymore, I just keep plugging along ...
Another motivator is reading "Thin for Life"... I've ordered 2 of the books for my g/f's for Christmas, in the hopes that this will motivate them too... They seem discouraged at times, when they consider that this is for a lifetime, I just want to let them know that they are not alone... I'm sorry I didn't order 3 books now, because the newer version has a little more than the book I get at the library...I'm not sure I may just give one away...
....
Anywhoo, I have to go vacuum...
... This post has been long enough, I appologize!
Let's be careful out there....TTFN...
