Congratulations on taking the first step and coming out of lurkdom. Thanks Mary. If you know you can't stop eating sugar once you start, then forget about "having a little bit and then stop there." That is as ridiculous as telling an alcoholic -- "You can't deprive yourself of your favorite vodka -- otherwise, what is there to live for? Just make sure you stop at one shot, that's all." Yeah, right. For me, I can go the rest of my life without my former "favorite treats" that got me in such terrible physical shape. I now am enjoying a weight loss of 175 lbs, with 100 of those pounds off for 19 years. So do what is right for you, and if you think sugar is a problem for you, try eliminating it for at least 21 days and see how you feel. It has made all the difference in my life and has enabled a weight loss and maintenance that many people say is impossible. Be willing to give up the crap that made you fat and sick, and see how life feels without it. Listen with just half an ear to those who wail that "you can't deprive yourself." Best of luck to you and let us know how it's going. Mary M 325-154-148 Congratulations on your loss! I'm not sure yet just how much of a problem sugar is for me, but I've already decided to cut it out and see how I feel without it. -- PL 320/312/170 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I actually gained 0.5 kg (cca 1.1 lbs) during the last week. BUT - I *lost* 3.5 cm around the belly button area, and several cm all over. So - what Julianne said is so true! (Now I'm just waiting for the week when I'll lose those 4-5 pounds ;-) Sounds like you're building muscle, which is a good thing! -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88.5/80kg |

Also, if you are like most people, you will undoubtedly do everything right for a period of weeks and not see any weight come off. This is so very frustrating. A good friend during that time will be a tape measure. When I hit those weeks on end without loss, they would usually be followed a week where I lost four or five pounds.

As long as you are on track with your WOE -- which I know that you are -- you'll be fine in the end. You're doing great! -- jmk in NC |
