Barb --
Your success is so ENCOURAGING! I hope I am able to make my goal. I have two kids and with pregnancy number two I gained close to 60lbs. Considering I am barely 5 ft. 2 in. it was a lot of weight for me. The last 15 or so pounds has been really tough to lose! Thanks for listening! :D

Wow! Thanks for all the encouragement! I'm find the diet easy to follow, but certainly wish that pounds were moving more quickly. I've added exercising and am seeing a little more movement, but not as much as would make me happy! Oh well, slow & steady wins the race, right?

Katie- Keep going! Sounds like you are doing great!

Welcome, Katie. The less you have to lose, the slower the loss. Stick to it and it'll slowly melt away. Exercise certainly will help.

hi I am new also
 

Glad to be here

Lynne :)
