omg Judy honey I can totally relate.... My husbands GM lives with us..she is 84...Need I say more... and we have already been through this with his mom....the hip breaking, fracturing her skull falling out the kitchen door because she/they refuse to stay put...omg the stress is simply too much... you know I think that is why the good Lord didnt let me get approval when I first tried...because so many things were going on at home...he knew I couldnt do it all and stay healthy and sane... so you take care of yourself and make others help you! you cant do it alone..believe me I have tried...but then all of a sudden one day you will BLOW!

Thanks! I hope they take me to at least a 15mm I appreciate your prayers. Thanks again.

My original goal was 142 but I reconsidered. I weighed 150-155 when I was in high school and one of my prom dresses was a size 5. I'm thinking 150-155 is low enough for me. Thanks for the congrats. Where are you now? Carol

Oh, Jen! I can't tell you how true your post is for me, too. I can hardly look at OH anymore because I get so jealous and down on myself. I'm down 69 lbs but am insanely jealous of the people who are down 100 or so... In fact, I convince myself at regular intervals that I'm a complete failure at this and blah, blah, blah. At my check-up, my doc said, "Ease up on yourself." He explained that we're all different and even said that the people who are the most active on OH are the ones who feel great about their progress. This makes sense to me 'cause I've certainly been staying away while feeling crappy... BUT, even with this logic in my head, I still wish I was one of the people touting my 100-lb loss ... Good luck. And no, you're not alone in your thinking. Peace! --KC

congrats... i hope to be there soon... what's your goal
