Finally

Hello Dec Group, well I am on my fall break from school Hooray, We just got back from the Grand Canyon I know a year ago i would not be able to walk as much as we did there. It was great. Well finally finally I am losing again. Was on a horrible plateau for almost 6 six weeks .It fel really bad until i heard someone at my support group say that they were at a stand still for 8 weeks. Anyway I feel so much better. I was very worried. But I am back thanks always for your support Kelly

Kelly: Hey there! Congrats on the hiking...I am loving the idea of hiking "up north" in MN this fall....can't wait to see how I take all the inclines! I have a feeling it will be more easily. I have had a 6 week slump, and since I am still fat shape changing, my MD won't let me call it a plateau....but for the first time I am down 2 lbs, up 1/2 lb, down 1, up 1/2 lb. It's very bizarre. My MD and therapist are both telling me to chill, but I support you in the "freak out" moments, because I have had a few of those too lately... Can u believe we are almost ONE YEAR out??? Amazing. Life is so different now... Take care, Megan

Hi Kelly! We missed you, glad that you are back and had so much fun at the Grand Canyon. Also happy that you are feeling good and hopefully off your plateau - I am sure that you lost inches or your body was readjusting during that period - did you feel it in your clothing? At a recent support group the leader (therapist) said stop living and dying by the LBS. and listen to your body and the changes in the way your clothing fits - sounds like good advice but I know when I dont see the numbers it takes time to realize I am making progress in other areas. You are not alone! Rebecca
