Laura- Your posting pic is gorgeous, is it current? I heard something about a "cottage cheese test"-- to test the size of your pouch... eat as much as makes you full, make sure to measure... -Beth

Actually no this is a old pic ...I have tried to email them my new one and they have not posted it yet ...ughhhhh i want a new pic man .....but thanks for the kind words !!!! Laura

Hi there Laura, have you tried trending your losing? For me, I lose 2 weeks, then stall 2.5-3 weeks, every month. It happens like clockwork. The only month I didn't was in month 2 where I hit a set point and got stuck for a bit. Don't forget, we lose for the first 18-24 months. As long as you're following your pouch rules, then it doesn't matter how fast you're losing - we're all going to end up at goal together by 2 years out. Keep posting - we're good support for each other. Wishing you the best, ~Lara

Laura, You look great, and people who have less to loose, loose more slowly, it sounds like you are doing great. We have all been hitting plateau's around here, that is what's so great about having support. I just got through one (with everyone's help). we are going to keep loosing it's just going to be slower now which is ok. We are all doing great! Hang in there and keep coming back.

Hi Laura, If its any help, I have slowed way down this month and so have many others. Could be some readjusting is going on or we're just going to slow down a bit for the rest of our journey. Either eay it sounds like you are doing great! Keep us posted. Rachel
