I remember weighing 200 when I Was in 9th grade summer PE.
I wish I were close to stabilization! I mean, I know I'm close but I wanted to be closer to my goal weight by now. My program ends on 10/5 and am curious as to what they'll do with me.
leahruthie, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. The others are right, the diet will wait and don't even think twice about it.

You're probably closer to your real goal than I am! You're 3 inches taller but your goal is only 5 pounds higher than mine. In reality mine should be more like 130 or 135, but for now I'm going with 140. I intend to keep working on slowly taking off more during stabilization and maintence until I get into the 130s. But mentally, I think I'm ready for stabilization, and I think I can handle the calorie counting part of maintenance such that I can keep slowly losing...even a pound a month will add up. And, maybe I'm stalling here because that's where I need to be. I'm okay with that. My original date to be at 145 was actually a few weeks ago, and obviously I didn't get very close. But since I'm paid (and won 2 free extra weeks in different contests) until 10/12, I'm going to take all that time. And, I really feel like my clothes are looser even though the scale isn't moving. I even had to tighten my iPod arm band this last week. So, maybe some kind of decent drop will happen soon.
Anyway, it's fun experiencing a part of 'life' I wouldnt' have done a few months ago. Yeah for NSV's...especially when the scale is not cooperating!
