We are doing great!!

Hi everyone I just want to say a BIG WELL DONE and to everyone. I've been reading the latest posts and it seems we are all doing so well. We've stuck in there over these stalls we have all been having and even those of us loosing slower than others are doing really well. Seeing friends getting into onederland or breaking the stall is SO encouraging. It really helps me, and spurs me on to keep going knowing that I will eventually get there, even if it is way behind everyone. I DON"T CARE. As long as we all get there, that's what's important. We've stuck together, had a few differences of opinions, but we are on the journey together... To everyone (by the way, lost 1lb today, so looks like my stall is ended too...I've never been as dramatic as others )

Way to go on breaking your stall too, Ruth!! Happy Dance for you :dance

We're all different and we will all lose weight at different speeds. The main thing is we're all going the same direction....down,down,down. I suspect that those of us who appear to lose rapidly then experience plateaus or stalls and so it all evens out. Hang in there, a pound gone is a pound gone and certainly something to be proud of!!

Ruth, you are absolutely right - we are all doing a wonderful job! Everyone's losing at different rates, but the important thing is that we're all losing. I just found out today that my period started (yuck), but this may be why I haven't been losing the past week, because usually just before I get bloated. Hopefully, the pounds will keep coming down. We just need to keep encouraging each other, and before we know it, it will be the holidays and most of us will be getting close to goal, or at least within shouting distance (smile).

I am just so glad to know people that are just excited like I am every day about each and every loss. Others seem only to care if it's a big loss or they haven't seen you in a while, but we all know our small daily victories. Rachael

Ruth, you are so sweet and so encouraging. Way to go on your 1 pound loss. Those stalls can be so frustrating. Would you mind if I ask what size you are in now? I have some cute outfits that I am willing to share. Dar

Thanks Dar I'm now size 18 pants and 20 tops...I still cant' really believe I'm those sizes!! It's very exciting isn't it.

Yes, you are SO right!! WE ALL ARE DOING GREAT! If we added up the weight we have lost in 4 months - I wonder how many lbs it would be? Maybe I will start a post and see. Everyone - KEEP ON LOSIN' Love, Hugs and Prayers to all of you, Darlene

congratulations... 1 lb is still 1 lb and that is something to celebrate
