Hi Marie, I am so sorry about the loss of your baby. Give yourself a break. You've been through a lot the last few months. Under the cir****tances, I'd say 7 pounds is incredible! I don't expect to reach my goal for another year, and whenever I make it, I"ll be thrilled! My weight loss has slowed way down. I've lost 167 and I have another 33 to go. Polly

It's been a roller coaster ride from the start !! But I would do it again in a heart beat !! I wish I'd have done it sooner. I think back on this year and it still amazes me at the difference in how I feel and I can see it too but not as much as other people. Do you every not feel fat ? I still have a hard time with compliments and wonder are they just trying to be nice or mean it ! I have lost 162lbs, I was wearing 28 to 32 some 3x and 4x, 11wide shoe. Now I wear 16 but they are loose and I will have to go to 14 soon I think, my shoe size is 10 normal , and I put on large size scrubs yesterday!! It's hard to keep clothes. I have to fight the snack demons everyday and it is easy to fall into old habits again. I can eat pretty much anything but sometimes it doesn't sit well as other days, who knows why..I can eat small amounts of sugar but don't dare more I just like to think I know I can't ! I see people who are as misarable as I was and I just want to go up to them and say I know how you feel and there is hope !! I drink my water daily and take my vits. I still use Unjury some days for my protein just to be sure and have some good days.I have not excrised as I should this summer but I'm outside and doing something and of course yard work !! How is everybody else doing? Happy birthday to you !!! Best to all, Linda

I am sorry about the loss of your baby. I also went through a miscarriage many years ago, and it is not something that I will ever forget. Even though I adopted two beautiful children, I mourn the one that we lost. No, I haven't reached goal either. I'm at -94 pounds, and I still have 30 pounds to go to reach my goal of 160 pounds. I think I will reach it eventually, but I am giving myself until Christmas, which will be plenty of time (in my mind) to lose it. I am a slow loser anyway, and I still love to eat! To lose these last 30 pounds, I am going to have to eat less and exercise more.....the same way I got these last pounds off! Just keep on doing what I'm doing.....but doing it better. Good luck to you, and I hope you make your goal! Love, Laura

I would like to know how many folks have not made goal. I am depressed, my anniversary is 8/13 and I have yet to join the century club (97 lbs. max). I did become pregnant in March, but that resulted in a miscarriage the end of May. I have not lost any weight since I had became pregnant. Now two months later there still haven't been any significant weight loss (7 lbs.) I was hoping to be close to 200 lbs. by the anniversary

Princess, Congratulations! What a major accomplishment! I am so happy for you. Keep up the good work! Love your new pics...........So pretty! --Marianne 5'0 256/136/120
