Thanks is not enough. With your help there were no tears and no food. I am not going to be defeated by a body that wants to keep that 1/2 pound. It will have to let go of it. I am officially the boss of myself now. Thank you for your understanding and encouragement. God Bless You All, Suzanne  

You are doing great!  Keep up the good work. Taking a walk or allowing yourself some time helps.  I agree that talking to the friends on here is always helpful.  Have a beautiful day and remember just how beautiful you are!

Hope your day turned out to be a good one....and the hike up the bluff burned a few calories...you are going to lose that 1/2 lb plus at least another one...just work the plan...eat the right foods, drink lots of water and keep moving....you have the power to change your life...it is good; becoming healthier is only going to make the future better!  Wishing you a great week and an even better weigh in!!  Hugs, SisterC

I think we have all been there - stick to your guns, you know how to work it... just keep at it and you will get there.

Dont give up!

Hi Suzanne.... sorry you are feeling in the dumps today. I still get that feeling occassionally on the weekends.  Yesterday when I felt that feeling coming on, I put on my shoes and went outside and raked leaves for an hours.  I felt like a new person afterwards. We have to acknowledge when we are feeling down and do something about it - before we turn to food. It's a learning process that I am finally getting the hang of. I know how anxious you must be to get that first ten pounds off, that is the first mini-goal most of us set for ourselves. You can do! Keep to the SF plan and even bump up your exercise to make sure that it comes off.  For me, I really have to watch the sodium intake or I wont show a loss on the scale. Keep smling and enjoy the rest of your SUNday! 

You are going to do well. Take the extra walk. Drink plenty water. Really watch your calories.

Hi All, I am in the dumps this morning. It's a familiar place. I used to be there all the time before I started SF, so I guess this is better than before. I am so desperate to reach my first ten pound goal and the last half pound is so firmly attached to me it won't budge. . On the good side, my mood swings are quicker and I recover better most of the time which is a pleasant surprised to my Hubby!  I think that is what he loves best about my diet! Well, today I will cut some corners off my diet and hike up the bluff again today and  see if that gets that 1/2 pound off my back.  Just talking to you guys makes me feel better. Thanks. Have a lovely Sunday! Suzanne
