Hello all and Happy 2004 to all of you. Congrats to all the losers and maintainers. To all the others hang in there you will hit the turning point to losing again. I have not posted my weight losses for a couple of weeks, because I had gained and was so disappointed in myself. I have continued reading faithfully though, as all you kind words to everyone helps me immensely. I feel I have done well, since my weigh in before Thanksgiving until today, I have lost 3.1 lbs. Here is my breakdown. 11/22 Saturday before Thanksgiving. 290.6 12/29 Saturday after Thanksgiving 292.4 (1.8 gain) 13/6 289.0 (3.4 loss) 14/13 287.7 (1.3 loss) 15/19 289.0 (1.3 gain) 16/27 293.2 (4.2 gain) and drum roll please................... 17/03 287.5 (5.7 loss) I knew why I had gained last week (constipation) and also realize why I had a loss this week (no longer constipated), but I feel good anyway. Funny thing is I have made it back to my 10% loss again for a total loss of 18.9 lbs. I told my leader that at the scale and she gave me another 10% award during the meeting, as it has been a long hard struggle for me in the past 3 years and she wanted to acknowledge that I have stayed with the program through good and bad and am getting myself back on track again. I have never quit and don't intend to as her support has been tremendous to me and keeps me motivated to keep going back no matter what the scale might read. Debbie 18.1/1.1/150 (RAFL goal 280)
