Hi Rachael, don't drive your self crazy. First of all: 298 minus 243 equals 55 lbs. What a great accomplishment! Then you are probably plateauing: That happened to me too. I just started to loose again. And yes, it is good to exercise. Start with walking and light dancing. Turn on the CD or Radio and dance just for yourself. Dance enough that your heart rate is elevated. Every 15 minutes take a 10 sec count of your pulse and it should not be higher than 25 and not lower than 20. This is inexpensive and nobody sees you. But do it at least every other day and be disciplined about it. Try to avoid Paxil, rather E-mail me and we talk it through. Big Hug Birgit 243 to 170

darlin you are driving your lil self crazy, I am doing the same thing too. I am a few weeks before you and I started at 294# and am at 241ish.I am haveing a hard time with the exersize because I have a bakers cyst in my knee thats killing me! I also totaly analize every thing I put in my mouth. and obcess about every lil thing. My thrapist kinda helps with this. The last few days I am eating alot more...PMS. Then I will go to not wanting anything at all and struggle to find something heathly to eat. I feel guilty bout any questioal food I put in my mouth too. I eat an ocasional mcd's cheeseburg w/o the bun and I think OMG.I eat 2 french frys or a bite of a cookie and think crap I am a falure.I want some brain sugery. I feel bad cuz I am loosing slowly and my mind rells me "seee you cant even loose weight right" as if there is a correct way to do it. I just keep tring to pump in the happy thoughts and am seeing the doc soon about my knee. Happy holidays and remember "misery loves company" just kiding but at leat you are not the only one..I feel much better now KIM
