Yellsa, thanks for posting this. I feel the same way, and I just started a couple of weeks ago. I'm impatient (as many of us probably are) and I keep telling myself to just stay consistent and it will eventually work. I was kinda bummed this morning because I only lost .6 pounds last week, but at least I'm going in the right direction! Just have to keep plugging along.

kaplods, love what you had to say. You are so right. Every pound counts.

I have doubts... but I don't act on them. I tell my doubts that they just don't matter. I mean - what am I going to do - go back to eating and feeling like crap and having heartburn on a daily basis? Stop running when I actually am enjoying it? Nope! I am going to keep going. I keep focusing on recipes that I love. I run 5k's with friends and take Zumba class with friends.

My scale showed 204.0 on Saturday. I did a little tap dance. It was a new low number for me. One more lb. and I won't be obese anymore... but I still have doubts. I still can't picture myself below 200. I can't picture myself at goal.

It just doesn't matter (my doubts, that is)... I keep eating my veggies and running on my treadmill.
