You are so not a witch. I have emailed you a few times and you have been nothing but sweet. That person seems to have a chip on her shoulder.....glad I wasn't on her email list. Life is too short to spend my time with people like that. Smile Ms Grouchetta you are wonderful Corinna

Don't worry if you do hit a stall every now and then. So far I've been very fortunate and my stalls have only been for one week here and there. We have what four of us that started our journeys at approximately the same time with each of us having different amounts to lose. Sometimes that will make a difference in when and how often we may hit these stalls. I truly expected a stall myself since I've closed my pool for the winter and don't have access to a gym yet, but I'm still managing to lose 2-3 lbs each week and hope to join my gym on the 18th. Once I do that I think it will kick up my weight loss again back to an occasional 5 lbs weight loss for a week every now and then. I don't expect that every week or even one week out of the month. Just remember, if you stick to the basics the weight will continue to come off, maybe not as fast, but it will continue. I know we all are human and go off track on occasion, yes we all do even if it's just a bite or two of something we do it. The important thing is that we are on track 90% of the time and that alone will allow the weight loss to continue. I look forward to hearing about all of you overcoming the stalls you have experienced and can only hope you'll be there for me when I hit one where I don't lose anything in a week. I am just happy to be able to get where I am now. I can't remember being able to do as much as I do now and not getting winded any longer. To me even if I don't lose another pound I am successful in becoming a more healthy person. Yes I'd love to be able to say I'm no longer obese and that can happen once I hit approximately 164. That means I only have another 72 lbs to go where I'll be just "overweight". If I ever hit 164 or below it may take additional surgery (lose skin will probably be in the neighborhood of 10-20 lbs). I am just now starting to see this lose skin yes it took losing 123 lbs before I actually can see where I may have problems. I've always been a "solid" person, very muscular and big boned even though I'm only 5'2". I think my surgeons goal of 125 is unobtainable and unrealistic for me, but I will continue to shoot for it or as close to it as I can. Sorry I got off track here. Bottom line, just stay on track and the weight loss will pick up. I've heard where many have hit stalls at the 6 month mark and continue to lose additional amounts of weight during the next 6 months. Keep up the good work. Robin

Thanks so much for taking the time to complie all this data. I for one love being able to see how others are doing that started this journey the same time frame that I did. Robin

Look at you! Congratulations! You are doing so wonderful. Keep up the great work!

CONGRATULATIONS! ISN'T IT WONDERFUL! I just found a photo of myself a year ago...make sure you do that. It's a great reminder of how far you have come. Woo HOO! For YOU!
