Hey Kelly, My name is Paula and I am from Pace, Florida. Only 15 minutes from P'cola. Don't get discouraged. You will do this. I just pray that we don't get hit this year by a hurricane. Those mre's will ruin a diet, and quick!!! No, but really, hang in there. It will be fine. Summer is the best time to lose weight, with all the great fruit and veggies. And like you said, taking the kids swimming will curve an appetite. I have been doing that this summer too. Any way, I check posts frequently so if you ever want to vent I am here. Take care. Nice meeting you. -Paula
