Congrats on the pound gone. I was wondering the same thing myself. I would love to have someone to sort of mentor me! Any suggestions?

Ladies: I read your posts this morning and though I can't be part of the group (I run my own thread and am part of another) I thought I would tell you something a very wise person once said to me. I have been a Christian since accepting Christ way back in 1963 in a 5th grade SS class (UGH, I am surely gettin' old :lol: ) and was having some really really tough financial and personal struggles with my family around 10 years ago. I felt we were spinning our wheels and surely going to go under.

She said, "You must take your burdens to the cross. BUT... you must not keep going back and picking them up."

I think weight loss is like that. We may pray and sincerely turn it over to God, but when times get tough, we go back to the old cross and pick them back up again figuring we can handle them better ourselves. I try to remember that everytime, I take a step backward, to let God do what God is best at and that is controlling our lives.

God Bless you richly and good luck with your weight loss goals!
