Thanks, Cristi....like I posted earlier...I set my goal high (170) because I thought that was realistic (when you've never been able to maintain anything under 200, 170 seems almost out of reach).... I'm not sure what I've done right....I haven't drank protein shakes since Oct- I try to get it from my food...but often don't get it all in....I've not been exercising for the last month and a half because of bad arthritis in the knee....I eat sugar on occassion (I don't dump on it unless it's a ton of sugar)...and I've never had a long stall....the longest I've gone without losing weight has been about 4 days and there's not been a week that I haven't lost....don't get me wrong...I'm glad (in fact I almost feel guilty)...but I'm just not sure what has caused me to lose so consistenly and those who have been better at following the rules have terrible stalls.....I just saw my PCM yesterday and all of my bloodwork was good....it must be all the hair loss - maybe I've just been losing weight because I'm losing all my hair! I've been meaning to update the profile for quite a while...but I'm such a procrastinator... BTW...you're looking great....keep doing what you're doing...

I have been wondering about your name too.. I think it is so pretty! I have to say that every time I see your name on here I think of Charlize Theron...She is a great actress..and also very beautiful.

Thanks Mandie!!

Charlize is from South Africa as well, and both our names are very common there, although its pronounced different ... we roll our "rrrrrr's"

Yeah, Charlize is very beautiful and have made such a success of her life ... I wouldnt mind ending up having her body, now that would be the ultimate goal!!

Thanks, Pam....looks like you're doing pretty darn good yourself....and so brave with the bathing suit pics....I've been taking bra & panty shots since I was pre....maybe I'll get brave and scare the world by posting them...
