Thanks Eliana - I am really looking forward to the teens.

My grandson arrived this morning at 8:48 Eastern time (North Carolina). Mother and baby are doing great. Two weeks early and he weighed 9 lbs 2 ounces and was 21.5 inches long and he is BEAUTIFUL! They have sent me several pictures and a couple of videos via text already and I got to talk to my daughter a while ago.

Updated today: Five months - 34 lbs.

Didn't make it to the teens . . .

I just looked back so I could be sure, but leading into my five month anniversary I had only lost 2.5 pounds. I remember being very frustrated with that. It was at that point I decided to try South Beach diet and I instantly lost 6.5 pounds with it. But looking back at my records, it wasn't necessary to do that. I was just where you are...heading into some 14's and the weight loss seemed to be coming to a complete hault. From that point on it was hard to wrap my brain around the sudden slow down. I think it's normal at about that weight to start losing 2-4 pounds per month.

I hope that helps. :hug:

Thanks Eliana! You are doing fantastic!

Updated today ~ made it to the teens but didn't stay there. :(

Updated today ~ total loss 40 lbs since February 25, 64 lost from my high weight. . . . and finally I am solidly in the teens. Next month below 210.

Oh yeah, a good month for you! I know you struggled last month. I love looking at how it comes off by the month.

Thanks Eliana! I did struggle last month - actually most of July and August were ugly for me (depression sucks). I am much better and doing much better now. You are doing amazing!

Updated today: 5.6 lb loss this month - total loss is 45.9. Total lost from highest weight is 69.4.
