yes, we could all do with joining!!!

Well I started in January of this year, however, I don't count that because I wasn't doing the diet right. The month went by with absolutely no loss. I was drinking coffee as usual and equal and I don't even remember what else. So February of this year would be an accurate statement. Thanks for the encouragement! I'm really frustrated right now! I want pounds to melt off quicker! I feel like all that excercise and work for this small progress is not enough! But people tell me that if I overdo it, it might stall which makes "NO SENSE" to me whatsoever. Wow, after 30 it sure is tougher to loose! I'm 31 going on 32 in December! I had a baby in Nov. of last year and I've lost all the baby weight however, my weight has been distributed differently now. Waist, hips, thighs butt etc......so I can't get into my size 12's (some fit) without a bulge hanging out! I HATE IT! I feel awful about that. I see actresses that had their baby around the same time I did and lost it all within a couple of months, it's pretty depressing......anyway, enough of the drama. I just need to be strong and stick to it. It's worked so far. How about yourself? Is this easy or tough for you?

No kidding, Pepsi max! Hey we need to hold onto something since we have to give a lot of other sinful things.....Ebbie B. that sounds like a good idea! Handle it.......

I will join Ebbie if i can wearf my chicken suite, on second thoughts a room full of alcholics on Atkins, staring at a large plump chicken, on second thoughts hold that thought!! lol

hi shpgrl03 I know what you mean seeing others loose it so easy is so annoying!! the stars are lucky they have chefs to cook their meals, trainners to keep them going in the gym or when all else fails the money for a bit of suction!! This diet is weird 20lbs flew of in the first month then over night I gained 6lbs and I am finding it hard to get it back off but I am determined not to let it beat me!!

Don't feel bad! I went to Calif on the 4th to see the fam for a couple of weeks and was kinda bad, well bad enough to gain the same amount of poundage you did. So I'm down 1 as of last week, but am not getting on that scale, since my TOM is near. Don't want to get discouraged.......it'll come off in time. Slowly is better than not at all right?

I totaly agree I was just gutted that it happend I wouldnt have been so bothered if I had cheated!!
Never mind 16lbs in one month aint bad going, and its like you say slowly is better than not at all

linda, maybe take up a new exercise.
chasing chickens perhaps?

Or running away from you with my chickens trying to save them from your cheese and mushrooms!!
