Hi Sara, Guess I'm addicted to the scales also. Sometimes I use two (smile). I weight every morning because I just don't want anything to get away from me before I know it. Of course I am at or rather below goal. I don't think looking at the scale everyday is good if you are still trying to lose. Get back on that exercise wagon because it is so important and it will make you feel good. Now I feel bad when I don't get to exercise. Glad you are doing well, keep up the good work.

Guess what guys, it's never ending. We will always have to work at it. I have reached way under my goal and probably need to gain a couple of pounds which I did gain 2 lbs last week but only because I went on retreat and the food was marvelous. I ate a little more than I should. I need not gain weight that way because I will pick up bad habits again. So I'm trying to keep on track and gain a few pounds by not eating as much at one time but maybe more spread out. So we always have to watch it. I was 257 and now 130. I had been running 127 to 129. When I came back from retreat I was 132. I am really looking kind of skinny which I never thought would be a bad thing but I think I would look better with 5 more lbs or so. So hang in there, you can do it. Remember to eat small amounts several times a day so you don't stretch out your pouch, eat slowly and chew, chew, chew. Dianne

HELL-O!! HOW CAN I GET ONE? LOVE GLORIA 319/204/180

Lisa, my surgery was only four weeks ago and I too can relate. It seems like we all have good and not so good days (note the positive spin....). Keep doing what you're doing. My God, you've lost a person - I think you're entitled to have a bad day here and there. I'm down 38 pounds in 4.5 weeks and am shocked already. You are an inspiration to us newbies so have your bad day, get through it, and look forward to the future and more accomplishments to come your way! All the best, Mark

All I can do is eat today! It seems all I want to do is eat. I am sitting at work and thinking about what else I can shove into my mouth. *cry* I cannot ... WILL not do this to my body! I've lost 175 lbs. I had surgery a year ago on April 21. I know I have lost a lot and I shouldnt worry or be upset.... but I am! I will get over it. I need to update my picture as that one is VERY old. That pic was taken June 2004. 2 months after surgery. I will get on the ball and send a new pic. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I'm just having a rough day. Lisa 419/244/160
