Words of encouragement to Micheal Malone

I was just going through the forum because I have been off the scene since January, and saw a post from Michael Malone. I had been so frustrated and caught up in myself that I stayed away from the website because coming to it made me feel like a failure and that I would never reach goal. I had been depressed, tired, and totally stressed out! Just consumed w/ myself basically. When I read Michael's post from earlier in the week, I had to snap out of it, and get my butt in gear. This is not about me, but it is about a journey that we all embarked on together. I to apologize for not following up, but thank u Michael for allowing me to see that there are always blessings and lessons that come from every adversity. I support all of you and thank you for your continued support even when I felt unable to support myself. Oh yeah, 6 months down and -65 lbs! I have decided not to hold on to the negativity of losing weight slower than others, but rather to embrace every pound lost as a gift. Good luck to all of you, and God bless.

Carliss, I am losing at the same rate. I am at 66 pounds. I was depressed for awhile, but I went clothes shopping a week ago and I have gone from a size 28 to a size 20 . I am feeling better now. I also started to take my measurements. I just wi****ook them from the beginning. I didn't start until 5 months out. Hang in there we are losing slower than others, but we are losing. Carol W
