the BEST pound ever!

if any of you have been reading my whiney plateau from he#% posts, you know that i have been stuck/stalled/plateaued for over a month. FINALLY i have lost a POUND!!!! i know, i know, i've lost 147 other pounds before this one, but this one is the BEST YET!!!! i hope that many of his "poundage buddies" follow him bye-bye! i tried to do everyone's 'plateau busting' suggestions... but i think that the ones that worked for me were: stopping eating after 7:00pm, Tooter's suggestion of cutting out my apple a day, not using my protein drinks as snacks - switched them over to occasional meals, and a TINY bit more excercise (i have a pretty big hernia that is only allowing me to walk and swim gently). i weigh 219 now (haven't weighed that in over 20 years). my birthday is 6/20 and i would be soooooooooooo happy if i could be around or possibly under 200 by then... that would be the best birthday gift ever (except for the birthday gift i got in 1984 when i gave birth to my youngest son). thanks to everyone who has held my cyber-hand through this plateau. i sure hope that this single pound is the sign of great things coming (or going hehehe)! deb open RNY 3/5/04 -148

oh how well i understand that pound!!!!!! i have been playing with 4 of them in hopes that once they give up on returning-(they have been volleying back and forth for 6 weeks-)the other 32 will follow! keep your spirits up,deb!

Good news, Deb -- from a fellow Gemini! Reenie
