Thank you everybody!

Thank you all for your responses yesterday. You all made me feel better, and gave me some great ideas. I get in my protein, as I drink a shake or two a day, but I don't eat frequently enough. Now I have a question about that...another post is coming. Thank you all for the encouragement! I really needed it. You're right...I've never lost 31 lbs in 8 weeks before. In fact, I don't know if I have honestly ever stuck to a "diet" that long. You've got me thinking about the calories. I almost never go above 500, and frequently don't even hit 450. I wonder if I'm sabotaging (sp) myself by not getting enough calories in. Even though the scale isn't moving very fast, there are plenty of NSVs happening. I went to support group last night, and my hips didn't hit the arms of the chair. My knees & ankles don't scream at me when I stand up after sitting too long. I can walk and talk at the same time. I was able to take the youth group on a short hike at Queechee Gorge on the way home from NY Saturday. Thank you all for keeping me focused. You rock!!! Jeannie

Jeannie, i am glad you are feeling better!! We ALL need a little encouragement now and then........YOU ROCK GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what we're all here for Jeannie, to help each other when the going gets rough (hugs) I'm glad you found your focus again, keep up the great work! Donna
