Cut off in mid-sentence. You sure are close - unconscious effort perhaps - but, if so, you cannot
answer anyway (g)

Congrats on that 1/2 pound. New Decade, also

I'm back.... (g)

But seriously, I was way down the group when I thought about what a difficult position - there is
something magical or tantilizing about those decade numbers and I have to guess like me with 160,
you will not be happy going above it and to safely stay there, you will probably force the issue and
hit that 100 in any event???? Of course, I'm more interesting in clothing and not paying which makes
staying below 160 a bit more attractive so maybe you won't have an issue.

Whatever (G)

Wow Joyce, I'm impressed. I keep looking at what you've done and how you've gotten there, and tell
myself I can do it too. Thanks for posting and sharing your experience. It truly helps people like

I somehow missed the meat of this message the first time. Congrats on the half, it was a biggie. And
hey, shooting or not, 100? Wow.

hehehe, I better stop dancing now - swear I've eaten my way through the week-end. Hub decided he
wanted to go out last night, to one of those places that cooks the food at your table ... rice,
veggies, etc., asian style (I think). We both chose Salmon and Chicken - but everything was cooked
with loads of fat/oil and soy sauce. It was yummy and I haven't done it for well over a year, sure
enjoyed myself ... but am going to have to get my butt back in gear from now until Thanksgiving.

It's not quite an issue, but you did hit the nail on the head. The *decade* number is now ingrained
in my brain. It's going to be rather tough staying here without hitting that 100 pound reduction.
While the payment option isn't an issue with me, the clothing still is ... another valid reason to
stay where I am.

Thanks PR. I'm glad posting my experiences helps others, but I have to admit that staying active on
this newsgroup still helps me... and I need/want the help! It might be an accountability thing,
don't know. But sharing with others, talking, reading others successes and trials - all help to keep
me focused where I want to be. I do fear that if I wander off, I'm going to sink right back into the
old problems.

Thanks Lesanne. I have wondered ... am I close enough to the 100 mark that when people ask the
inevevitable *how much weight have you lost* ... that my answer could be 100? Or do I stick with the
*just under 100 pounds* answer? <g>

What you said. That's why I'm here too. You inspire me, I hope what I say helps someone else,
and so on.

By the way, I neglected to offer extra congratulations about that new decade you're seeing on the
scale. Congratulations. From what I know about you through your posts, I expect that now that you've
seen it, you'll never again be satisfied with anything higher.

I think this group lets us know we are not alone, and it is posters like you
and Elaine that keep me reading. I go to meetings and sometimes I want to
go a second time because I am having a rough day. to ask DH to drive me 35
miles, which he would do is a little hard for me to ask so before I ask him
to do it I come here and read and that usually works. Lee
