Hi Alice please dont feel like a failure, youve done very well, there are those of us in the April baby group who are really struggling. I am almost at my 7 month date and have only lost 52 lbs. I know we are told not to compare, but it is very difficult, I know. Not many words of wisdom . Im afraid but know you are not alone in this. It was my dream to lose 100 lbs by xmas, so I didnt even have such fast goals as you, but that dosnt seem possible. I just hope that perhaps I may have lost 100 by my anniversay, but now that dosnt seem possible either. Oh dear! Im getting worse lol. cheer up. hugs from down under Helen

Good mornig all! I did my weekly weigh in this morning and so far I have lost 81 pounds! Have a great day! Brenda

I have went from a 30/32 to a 22/24 and I am loving it!!! I also want to congratulate all the 4/05's for working their tool. Let's keep encouraging one another!!!! Hugs, Dee
