Keep going, you’ll do it. Put those blinkers on and head straight for the goal!

I’d say good luck, but you don’t need it.

Thanks for stopping by Patsy! Sure, I’ll do what ever I can to provide you with some good advice. Glad to hear you’ll be going to the doctor regularly now, and glad the gall bladder thing turned out ok. I’m surprised that I haven’t ended up in the hospital for that one, everyone else in my family has.

Cool. I Know it’s tough living by a Chinese food source.. The smells would make me hungry for their food. It is like they scent the air for miles with the wonderful fattening smell Huh?
I think everyone must be catching spring colds or some bug My Grandson has been under the weather all week long. I am lucky in that I almost never do get sick.. When I decide to get sick I do it in a big way. I hadn’t been to the doctor for myself in 18 years till October. In October my gall bladder decided to rupture and cause me to seek a doctor after all these years of not bothering them.. Now they tell me I have got to see them all the time. Pfft.. well for now I will.. One good thing though I quit smoking while I was sick.. Now I’m gonna gain weight.. At least I know where some good advice is when I decide to loose some pounds. Between you and Saphrym I should be good to go.
Have a good Easter!

That all sounds soooo similar to my week, I have also been pretty under the weather and generally feeling down…and as soon as I feel like that all of my resolve to be good goes out of the window, I had cheesecake, I had a burger from WeatherSpoons, I had a few choccies and I only worked out 3 times – so was shocked when I got on the scale and had lost 1lb, when I can be good as gold for weeks and work my booty off at the gym and lose nothing! Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense, does it?

Good luck with getting back on track now, I need it also!

Congratulations on the loss! You *can* do this – absolutely. Weight watchers is a totally do-able plan that works. Look at those stats – you’re doing so well! Keep up the good work.

Hi there! I just found this site via EntreCard, and the blog title caught my eye. Congrats on the weight loss! And I agree with Lillian, ignore the day-to-day stuff! Yes, you’re going to have off-days, but just shoot for sticking to everything 90+% of the time and you’ll be fine. Remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint!

I know what I’m talking about – I’ve lost ~50 pounds over a 2-3 year period, and I still fluctuate up and down about 10 pounds several years on. I just strive to stick to the diet/exercise routine as much as possible, and get right back on track when I falter. Stick with it!!
