Thanks for stopping by my journal. I spent some time reading yours and it is very inspiring to read. I have struggled with my weight for about 6 years now. I have also tried atkins and south beach and did okay for a while, but only gained the weight back plus more. I have probably been on every diet available to man; but as soon as I have an off day that's it. I'll stray for months or more and then realize I've gotten even larger. I have been medifasting since December 8th, 2007; however, I've had several dental procedures done in the month of December. I had to have a deep cleaning on the left side of my mouth; then 1 week later the other side of my mouth. On December 19th, 2007; I had to have 3 root canals. This in the beginning was suppose to be 3 crowns, but the dentist found decay to far down just for crown. So, I have this horrible packing in my teeth and it is very uncomfotable. I'm trying to stay on plan; I did stray on Christmas Day just a little; because I'm really focused on losing 50 pounds for sure. My not being able to chew was probably more effective then I wish. I'm at 217.5 pounds; I started at 235. For me some progress is better than none. I tend to get disappointed in myself very easily. I have to keep trying. I'm only 5' 5", but 175-180 will be suitable for me; I'm somewhat on the muscular side. I just wish the fat around my waist would disappear; but it seems like my breast are vanishing instead. LOL

I was a 8/10 depending on the style of pants. I found some pics the other day of me at that weight and wondered how I'd feel when I got back there.
I'm so jealous you're going to Vegas - its my favorite place to go!!! I met the love of my life there so it holds a special place in my heart. Have fun!! And you know with all the moving you'll do while there that the scale WILL MOVE!! Just stay on plan and away from all the cheap food! LOL
