Gee... I don't know if I have the right to post here or not.
I feel like I am intruding since I have never posted here before.
BUT... when I read Barbs post I just felted overwhelmed to write.
I know Barb, you have already stated you aren't giving up... and I am proud of you for that. But I still have to say it. Maybe more for ME than for you or anyone else. Maybe I am really writing this for ME and not any of you. I only know I have to say it. Forgive me if I offend anyone. '
Remember it is just my opinion ... my conviction....and that does NOT make it fact.
But also remember... it comes from my heart.
BARB and anyone else struggling with disappointment in your progress.
YOU CAN'T STOP NOW !!!!
When we started this little TURKEY event it was to get us
EXCITED about the journey again. We ALL held high hopes for a loss at the
END of this little contest/ competition/ tool. It was only 3 weeks and we knew we could at least do our best for 3 weeks. We even had an advantage of our 2 lbs in 2 weeks challenge.
I witnessed the
EXCITEMENT that stirred on these pages.
I witnessed many of us doing MORE than we had done for YEARS.
I witnesseed the JOY and Happiness of MANY here.
Ladies... it has only been 11 days. PLEASE don't get discouraged.
PLEASE hang on to that
enthusiasm !!!
PLEASE don't let a weigh in today ruin your tomorrows.
If I had told you BEFORE we began that if you followed your Turkey's commands you could lose an average of a pound a week ... thus losing 52 lbs in a year.... you would all have been happy little pidgeons.
You would show the
enthusiasm that you have shown for the last 11 days.
But after 11 days... then tell you that you would have to do it for the 52 weeks to get that "average" ..... would you QUIT ??? Would you give up the 52 lbs ???
Was it
REALLY sooooo hard that it is NOT WORTH CONTINUING ???
YES.. sometimes we get screwed in this effor to lose weight.
Sometimes it just plain
ISN'T FAIR !!!
But if it is a day of disappointment for some ... then remember it has only been 14 days of the original challenge. Only 11 days of the commitment to the COMMANDO TURKEY.
11 days...
don't give up !!!
I know.. some of you are saying... IT has been 11 years or more..... BUT .... were you truly committed to staying on your program for those 11 years ??
Let's give this true committment more than 11 days before we throw in any towels.
Let's maybe post your food you ate the last 11 days so the rest of us can see where we can help with ideas.
Let's join hands... lock arms together and
WIN this damn battle with FAT
once and for all. 
Don't give up... get mad and say ...
" MR COMMANDO TURKEY ... I am taking you ON... me and my fellow chicks."
Ladies... WE CAN DO IT !!!!
WE WILL DO IT ... if we don't give up.
like it was going out of style. And what did I want out of this? Just 2 little pounds! I wasn't asking for the impossible,I just wanted to make the 2 pound challange for a change. But unless I have a unexpected visit form the whoosh fairy 
"It ain't gonna happen!!!" And like you I know that it's just a number, but I don't have any of the other perks that's supposed to take the place of the numbers going down. My clothes are still tight,and getting tighter, I still have no energy, my skins not getting smoother, NOTHING... NADA...NIL
Can I say something ?
disease and could make tears, I'd cry.
TOM was in town this week.
