Skye - I have had some stalls already also. One was a day short of two weeks. Now I seem to have settled into a turtle pattern and only see a loss about once a week and it is usually around 1 to 2 pounds. Sometimes only 1.

I certainly understand your discouragement because I have been there. Then I decided to give it more time. I am committing to a full 90 days and if I am still not seeing much I will make a new decision. Money is tight for me also but this program fits into my lifestyle very well. I am single and I am sure it must be more challenging for those with families to cook for. I keep telling myself how successful others have been and some have told me they lost slowly too and it just took time.

I hope you will stick with it. I just wanted to let you know I feel your pain!

Hey Linda! Thanks for the encouragement. It nice to know that others are struggling with the same issues. I just seem to lose resolve when the scale isn't moving. I have talked myself out of so many 'cheats' over the last couple of weeks.

I am happy to report that I have broken the 233 barier...today was 232.6. I know, not too much of a difference but I will take it.

We've got a pretty busy day planned. Baby is napping right now. When she wakes I'm going to go find some best buy where they're holding a WII for me! (It's our christmas present to the kids). I hope I don't get lost. Or at least not too lost! There's library time at the closest lib to us for an hour this afternoon once the 'big kids' are out of school (4-5pm). Then tonight the school is having some big skating party from 6-7:30. So, I'm working on chugging my water now so I don't have to find bathrooms when I'm out later. I will continue to sip my water while out. I just don't want to chance not getting it all in. And if I drink too close to bedtime I'm up and down all night.

Hope you're all having an on plan day!

Wow, sounds like you have a very busy day scheduled! I know what you mean about the water too. I have to think about whether a restroom is handy whenever I go somewhere. LOL.

Congratulations on the loss! Every little bit helps and I take whatever the scale will give me!

Thanks HB! I am VERY excited. I have decided I'm finally buying some new clothes next week when hub has a day off work (can't really go try things on with a 16m.o. in tote)

I shopped at Wal mart and Costco for inexpensive transition pants. Got me through the summer!

Thanks so much Linda and Gina! I have been on a 'high' all day. It's funny how I work sometimes. I stalled for two weeks and now have dropped three pounds in three days.

Thanks Biki, Sojo, and Merry! I am still pumped. I never got back on yesterday to report that I hit the club and TOM showed up. Still there tho which is a HUGE accomplishment for me. I had to fight hard most of the day with myself. Lots of self talk going on...not really hungry, just the pms monster...But I MADE IT! I was not going to have to come back on today and say, oops, sorry, made a mistake, put me back into the 30# club, no way no how!

Thanks for the support ladies!

Okay, so time for a small post...baby is playing nicely in her crib, so much for the nap she was supposed to be taking!

Have to start off by saying I just love all the cool graphics you guys have. I am so computer illiterate you're lucky I know how to post. My hub is a computer geek, seriously, and I just say, honey can you help me... and then he fixes it for me.

So, I've been browsing other journals...I actually do READ a lot, just not a lot of posting going on other than a few specific people I feel 'safe' with. Anyway, I was reading stuff and of course it makes me think. And btw I do my best thinking while I'm in the shower. My sis always laughs at me cause I'll get out of the shower and call her to tell her some life altering truths. Anyway, I know that everyone's journey is different. Everyone has different reasons for doing this. Everyone's body reacts differently to different foods. I can understand the anger about other people losing faster than me. Or the problems with being non-compliant. I absolutely respect everyone that has done this from beginning to now and been 100%compliant. I am one that has not. And unfortunately I think that is part of who I am.

After I had baby #3 I found a weight loss board for those of us that had 100+ pounds to lose to be 'healthy'. Their unofficial motto was baby steps. We had five things that we 'tracked'...food (whatever plan each person was going to do--not a board for a specific plan), water, journal, exercise, and posting. I'm not trying to justify what I'm doing or my slip ups (or I guess maybe I am) but I keep telling myself that when I slip the best thing I can do is get back to it. Get back on track. I have not been 100% compliant since Feb. That's why I've only lost 40# and not 60 or 80 by now. But it's my fault. No one else's. No one forced me to eat off plan. I suppose I am trying to be accountable for my mistakes. I do wish I was strong enough to be compliant all the time. And I do TRULY respect those of you that are/have been. You are much stronger than I am. For me this is a learning process also. Not just food in a pouch. I am finding myself along the way. I need to find what works best for me.

Okay, baby is getting restless. Going to go get her up and get my day moving. Gotta go get more greens for my dinner tonight. No store this afternoon and I'll be having six supps for today.

Hope you are all having an awesome on plan day.
