A woo hoo update
Well, first I wanted to say thank you to those that offered support and advice to my post several days ago, where I admitted that I'm a non-compliant beast of a patient 
Your encouragement meant a lot to me, and proved that even though I try to do this alone, I still need help.
That said, on Friday morning, I hit 199. WOOT!! I wasn't sure if it was going to stay there, but this morning I was at 197. So I'm hoping I never have to see the 200's again.. I haven't been this weight since 10th grade or earlier.. I don't even really recall. I'm in size 16 jeans, which are actually getting the slightest bit roomy, even though they fit perfectly a week ago.
After work, I'm going to the grocery store to stock up on some GOOD FOOD.. and I'm actually going to attempt cooking tonight (without burning my apartment down.) I'm picking up a few new CDs to go walking with (people look at me too strangely if I talk to myself to entertain myself).. and I was wondering if anyone is interested in joining a little casual email group. Not anything official, but just where we 'reply to all' and try to keep each other accountable. Just a thought.. shoot me a message or email if you'd like to.. I've realized I can't do this alone!!!
Anyway, I have to get back to work.. enjoy the rest of your day!

Good for you! Count me in [email protected]
I would love to join in, whether it's on this board or another email group. My email address is [email protected]
Jasmina, I am so glad you are continuing to fight the good battle. There is no use in beating yourself up when you feel like you've "failed". And by the way, you haven't failed because you are still looking for the answers and moving forward to succeed.
We all need the support and help, and sometimes it's hard to ask for it, but I'm glad you used this board to help you find continued motivation.
Looking forward to the email group!

I think you've done a very good job, Jasmina. We all slip-up some times and we all have areas that could be improved, but looking at the big picture, a loss of 78 pounds is an awesome accomplishment and you should feel proud of yourself.
As for the email group, count me in! [email protected]
I don't have much web access on the weekend, but I'm usually on through the week.
Hugs, Tracy
