Yes...tons of walking.  I got up in the morning and walked and ran around the track on the top of the ship.  It was amazing to be able to do that!

Thanks all of you!!  I needed that encouragment :)  I love the fact that I can come on here and get the support and **hugs** I need to make me feel better.  The fact that all of us have this great gift in common and that we all know what it feels like is a blessing.

Thank you again for everything!! 

JULY 2009 rocks

 I started at 242 and have just now reached 60 lbs lost. I think it all depends where you started and how your body metabolizes. I can't compare myself to other peoples weightloss anymore because I get discouraged and upset. When have I ever been able to say I lost 60 lbs in under 5 months? So really it's not worth the heartache to compare. Your doing fantastic and I think not weighing so much helps. A watched teapot never boils!

lol @ Laurie - I feel ya on that note.   I'm wondering if it's because we actually ate more than we usually do so our bodies said.....OK, she's not starvin' herself so let's get rid of this extra weight.  It's so hard to wrap our minds around this sometimes, although I do totally get it, but it's just crazy how we have to play these little mind games with our bodies  :-)    Good for you for losing those 3 lbs.  It's so exciting isn't it.  Who woulda thought it  :-)

It's a crazy GOOD thing Luanne.. LOL!!
