Thank you! I'll take that. Hope all is well in Alaska. By the way one of my favorite shows is "Deadliest Catch". Where do you live in Alaska? It looks like a beautiful state. I'd love to be able to go there for a vacation someday. I love the outdoors and animals, etc.

Topic: Stop being so hard on yourselves.....

Think positive folks.

We all can't be failing at this, so don't think you are failing too. We've all lost an enormous amount of weight (me - 109 lbs in 9 months). That is a HUGE accomplishment folks and every single one of us should be so proud. Some of you have lost more in that same amount of time, because chances are you might have had more that you had to lose. Our bodies are still reeling from the trauma we put it through and we're all still getting more exercise, whether intentional or not. Some more, some less.

Don't beat yourself up just because you might be grazing. For me, that's about the only way I can still get my calories in and I don't really even get them in like I probably should be doing. Who knows what the magic combination is.

I'm going to practice enjoying life as it is now and focus on what I should be doing.  I believe the rest will happen naturally.

Happy Mothers Day to all of you and think positive, be happy with how far you have come.

Thank you. I will definitely let you know when I reach my 200 lb. loss. I've been so overweight for so long it's hard to believe that I have less than 65 lbs. to hit my goal weight of 150 lbs. It's been over 20 years since I weighed under 200 lbs.

Thanks Lisa. Today is the last day of college for me this semester. Yee Hah! Only one more clinical and then I graduate next December. Things are looking up!

Now I need to find a temporary summer job until the Fall Semester starts in August. Time to do some house cleaning and garage sales.

Hey, take the eight pounds.  Whatever works, eh?  Congrats on the approach of your milestone and be sure to let us celebrate with you when it happens!
