Hi

i've missed your smile! you are certainly not alone here--i am struggling with about 4 pounds that are keeping me form dropping the last 30--and while that may seem small compared to yours-it is the same!!!! you are so right taht you know what you need to do--i find the sun helping me so much more--to keep me motivated!!! i find that while i am fighting the pounds my inches are still going-so-- elizabeth--we ARE family here-don't hide in your room-you have NOT --repeat N O T -been a bad girl...... we are here--and we loves ya!

You WILL do it, sweetpea...I know you will. Change of season always picks us up and summer is right around the corner. Switch your diet around a little to jog your system into losing....and it'll come off. Perhaps a visit to the nutritionist? WW has you eating too much food for us (I think). I remember doing it years ago and the amount of food is staggering to us with little pouches! You're doing GREAT! Joan

(((Elizabeth))) I know how you feel. I am surprised that I actually lost a few lbs the other day because I truly thought I was done if I didn't really put a ton of effort into it. I guess I can be thankful for those days where I just happen to not eat a lot....they help me get ahead a little. I know it's hard and I know it's difficult to avoid eating the things we shouldn't eat when they don't make us sick. I'm struggling with that myself lately. I resolved that I would start eating those Weigh****chers dinners again since they do satisfy me a bit. That way for at least one meal I can feel like I'm doing something good for myself. Email me anytime Elizabeth. If you can't get here to post, maybe we can keep in touch by email and try to commiserate and build up each other's resolve. Dina 150 here I come! (in about 56 lbs!)

THanks soooo much you guys!!! you all mean so much to me!!! Thank you for all your support. It really has helped me out of my rut. I need to listen to my own advice and the warnings my mind and body have been sending me and get to it. Get back to the basics and not get too far off track. I see some peers that are still right with the program. I seem to have separated myself from that. I think thats me though. I can be stubborn that way... I tend to rebel. I tend to convince myself that I am not following the rules and then I get angry at myself and the rules themselves and steer away. Just stubborness I guess I dont know how else to put it. I see others with their water bottles in their hands at all times and then I get mad at myself that I dont carry a water bottle around then I get angry that I am setting myself to a certain standard??? If that makes any sense. Honestly it doesnt though. Im just fooling myself into doing the wrong thing. So dumb. I am going to go downstairs for lunch here at work and pick out something nice and healthy with no bread and no carby stuff and barely any sugar. We can do this! ((hugs)) Hiya dinka!! so glad to hear from you I missed ya!!!! Elizabeth M
