Arrrrggh!!!!!

I was SO hoping to make it to 100 lbs by my 8 month anniversary but I 2 stinking pounds away! ::sigh:: Oh well....maybe next week!!! Dina

It's gonna happen, girlfriend. Enjoy the ride! Maureen

Hi Dina... Don't worry you'll get there. At least that's what I keep telling myself everyday. I'm 17 pounds away and have only lost 8 pounds since 9/10 and I feel like giving up. You have done WONDERFUL and you will continue to do great. Look at how far you've come since March!! Keep up the GREAT work and you'll be there before you know it!! Ms. P

Hang in there...you will make it to 100. You look great!!! Wendy Ann

You will make it!!!! Hang in there! We are going to loose good this month! I am gonna check out that sugar free quick and get me some carb countdown milk and kill the sugar! This is just a must do this month for sure! You will get there! We are going to kick but this month! Elizabeth M

Dear Dina: You look fantastic! I know how you feel about becoming a part of the Century club: I have been fantasizing about it all year! Listen, it is a wonderful idea to set goals for yourself, but don't let it make you . I have been hoping to be a certain size by Christmas, but know that sometimes I am not being realistic. Reading about everyone else's humongous weight loss successes sometimes makes me feel like I am not losing fast enough, enough weight, etc etc etc. As long as the scale keeps going in the right direction, that is all that matters. Plateaus are the most difficult thing to deal with, but it is just your body's way of adjusting itself to your weight loss. It seems that some folks who have been fortunate in losing a lot of weight FAST are having difficulty with other physical ailments. If you are feeling healthy, exercising regularly, and choosing wisely in the food/beverage department, you are ahead of the game. Look at me, sounding like I know all-- I don't! I just want to empathize with you and say that you will hit the 100 mark soon, if you haven't already by the time you've finished reading this! Hang in there, and know that you are in good company!

Dina, The pounds will go, but they certainly have a mind of their own, don't they. I'm starting to think that this is like having a baby. The baby will come when it's ready. The pounds will go when they're ready. Hugs, Connie
