been a while

I thought I should write all of you and say hi. I haven't been on here for a while do to holiday's and sick kids. Christmas was great and we have one more to go to Jan. 1. We really tried to focus on the reason for the season this year and I think we did it. Christmas mass was wonderful, I was able to sing the responds and my little sunday school class sang. It was very cute. The week before that my kids came down with step throat so that was not fun. We are all healthy now. I am a little discouraged because I keep totering from 242 and 243. I just can't seem to get past that. I would really like to hit that 50 mark! I am not complaining because I have lost 48 pounds in less than 2 months but the other day I weighed at my mom-in-laws house and weighed almost 10 pounds heavier. I hate that---does that count or can I just count my scales? I do look and feel better but I just want to go to the next level and wear an 18 in jeans. I guess I just have a fear that I won't loose anymore. I know in my head that I will based on the statistics but in my heart I feel that it will be like every other diet. Well, I need to go for now. Thanks for all of your support. In His Name, Penni

Penni- Dont get discouraged. Your body is resting now and will start losing again. I am also stuck at a plateau now. scale has not moved for 7 days. Otherwise doing great. Enjoy the rest of the holidays with your family. Colette

Penni, Colette is right. Your body is just resting. When in your life have you ever lost 24 lbs per month. I'm guessing never before. Isn't it great? You will continue to lose. Just keep following your doctor's program, and you will be fine. Linda
