As of 1/26/06 I am down 131 pounds...and feel great....Congratulations to all of you and keep up the great work

Dayna, I posted on the California board that I was interested in the Hawaii Cruise, also. I am a junior high teacher, so I need to see if I can get approval for a week off. I would love to room with you. Check out my profile and see if you could room with me!! I am a NON SMOKER, but I do enjoy a beer or two!! Judy

Hi Everyone! I've lost 8 pounds total. Boy, this weight sure isn't dropping like it used to! Things here have been crazy with work, activities, etc... I think I really need to concentrate on making better choices and drink more water. (I hate water!!!!) It was almost easier when we had such a structured diet and knew exactly, when, what and how much to eat!!! I get in about 900-1000 calories per day. Should I be able to do more than that by now or is that about average??? Teresa

I am SO happy for you Tina. It feels good doesn't it! Congrats on your loss. Hugs, Tara

I am right there with you all!! I have 41 more to go and I have been PLAYING with about 4-5 pounds lately. My problem is reverting back to old habits so I am going back to the basics and trying to lose the last 41 pounds. I am at 189 and I need to be down to 145 by April 18th which is my 1 year. We can all do it, we just have to be honest with ourselves and remember this was a TOOL, not a miracle cure....we will never be cured from the disease of obesity...the best we can hope for is lifetime remission.....it is a lot like cancer because there is no cure, it is terminal if not kept under CLOSE watch and it can creep up on you without much notice. Hang in there!! We can do this.....we have come this far!!! Joyfully, Bryna 310/186/-124
