HA we were discussing that at work with no real answers but i'm definitely there iwth you Kat. ANDI

Keep us updated on how you are both doing each day. I'll be thinking of you. For me, it's frustrating that I'm eating right and now have introduced loads of high energy exercise and the scales STILL are not moving, aghhhhhhhhhhhh. How can my body burn up so many calories from all this exercise and generally much more active lifestyle and still hold onto those pounds - the cals in / out balance must be way off!! I'm way past the fat turning into muscle stage, and am ensuring I'm eating enough. I'm just having to keep myself going by knowing that I'm getting fitter, even though I'm exhausted all the time (from stress). I am seeing results, but it feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back some days. I'm off to my for some Night night

275 (beginning weight) less 164 (normal bmi) = 111 (total of my excess weight) 111 divided by 100 = 1.11 lbs which is 1% of my total excess weight I have lost 117lbs so far (275 less 158 current weight) so 117 divided by 1.11 = 105.4% so by that definition, I have exceeded goal. while that makes me feel better. I still would prefer to return to the BMI 22.3 I was at a year ago. BMI of 22.3 or 147 lbs which would be still fluffier than the midway point of normal at BMI of 21.7

precisely. I wish that was the case. I have notices that I am requiring a significant larger quantity of splenda to achieve the same results as two years ago in 'sweetness' factor. very strange.

What is it with dumping? I hardly ever do now and if I do it's on healthy good choice stuff grrrrr. I wish I was someone who dumped on a speck of sugar, or a drip of fat.
