Hi, I just came back from vacation:Camping!! and i thought i gained 5 lbs for sure. i wasn't really bad but i had some snack mix and other stuff (all sugar free) at snack times instead of protien based snacks and i was so nervous to step on the scale yesterday morning!! But i am happy to say not only did i not gain 5 lbs, i lost 1 lb.!!!! i am now 140.5 lbs. my Birthday is tomorrow and i couldn't imagine a better birthday present than this one, i am so happy now, we took vacation photos and i was actually in some and i am thin!! i showed my family and they said yeah that's you, and i couldn't believe it because in my head i still see myself as bigger!! does anyone else do that too?? Please share your vacation stories and image stories too!! i would like to know that i am not alone!! Happy Birthday to me!!! Stacy 262.5~140.5 11/14/2003

Congrats on breaking your plateau!!

I've lost over 100lbs. I started at 268 and I have not weighed in a while. Here are a few updated pics from my trip to Nawlins. I will keep them up until tomorrow. http://groups.msn.com/DiamondsWeightLossSuccess/shoebox.msnw?Page=1

thanks for all the reply's I forgot to mention that I had a 6 lb loss during that time after being stuck on a 2 month plateau so I'm just happy the scales are moving again. I also go for long periods then just a few lbs and then nothing so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will keep moving downward. I've really made an effort to make sure I'm getting all my protein and I've upped my exercise and increased my fluids and still do protein Monday's been doing all this for a couple of weeks now so hopefully it all paying off.

Congrats! Even though he may not be there in person, he will be there in spirit! Good Luck and praying all goes well for you, your husband and the baby.
