Snailorita's, we are not alone

I've just been having a look on the April 06 board and there are poeple there who are struggling and been stuck for months too. So we are not alone girls, this is not a May phenomenon..It is just part of the journey for some of us. Step by step, inch by inch, we'll slide and gracefully glide our snaily way to our goal, no matter how long it takes us Keep your chins up, keep smiling and the pounds will eventually take care of themselves.

Thanks Ruth!!!! I needed to hear that! I have been at a stall for too long. I need to lose like 20 to 30 lbs by June 30th! HELP!!!!!

Why do you need to lose by June 30th? Do you have a special function or something? I've been so frustrated by not losing, or very little anyway, even though in my more rational moments I know that my clothes have got looser. I swing between trying all different things to try and get moving again, but it has just made me focus more on food and get more frustrated rather than enjoy my new lighter life. So I've just given myself a talking to and am now going to try to be more positive, and just travel the journey at the speed my body wants to travel. Take time to smell the roses and enjoy the view Carrie - easier said than done, but we'll get there in the end

That is the day that my sister is getting married and I am the maid of honor. I fit in the dress, I just can't breathe!!!!!! I want to be comfortable in it. I know what I have lost is awesome. And I just went on a little shopping spree and bought clothes at a "Normal store" but I feel like I need to lose these last 30 lbs and I would be happy! I know it is easier said then done!!!! Thanks Ruth!

Carrie You are going to look awesome at your sisters wedding, believe me. Even if you don't lose anything by then (which I think you will - it's 2 months away) your body will be re-adjusting all the time, so the dress will fit a treat! Don't forget we want to see pictures of you as the maid of honor...

Oh I will for sure post pics of the wedding!

I say Go SNAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to be patient to see if my body adjust to the increase but, man.. i gain one more poiund i am fasting for a week. just thought I would vent along with you all..

*WHEW* this makes me feel a ton better, I'm not the only one feeling like I could put the big, light up neon "L" sign on my forehead! At least i know why i'm not losing and know what i can do to remedy the situation. ANDI

Hey Ruth - Right there with you. I've been losing and gaining the same 4 pounds for the last month at least. Probably partly becasue I've not been good on the water thing, or maybe I'm not going to lose more. Its kind of scary to me - I'm so afraid I'm going to regain weight. You look awesome by the way!
