Well, I finally did it. I broke thru my blasted plateau of 223#s I was stuck at for 2 whole months and weigh a steady 209 for the last week. I was hesitant to post the new weight for fear I would bounce back up to 223. But I have been here for a whole week so I am confident that the scale will not betray me and shoot back up. Grrr, I hate that #! I can&amp;rsquo;t believe I am finally so close to breaking the dreaded 200# curse! Possibly this month! I now know that I lose weight much slower than most because of all the blasted meds I am on, so I don&amp;rsquo;t really expect to lose these next 10 #s in 2 weeks, but it&amp;rsquo;s a nice thought. At least right now it seems attainable. But I do know I will be under 200#s by the end of summer. I can&amp;rsquo;t imagine not. Well, gotta go, Best of luck&amp;hellip; LJC</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/LJC/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:10:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:32d553b3-5019-4a32-9320-95a6837af9de</guid><dc:creator>LJC</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Amazone BT&amp;#39;;"&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I weighed Saturday morning and had lost only 1#. Just for the heck of it, I weighed this am and had a 3# loss! Whatever, but I&amp;rsquo;ll take it J I now weigh 220#s. I can&amp;rsquo;t believe next week I will be in the teens! Then soon I will break the 200 # curse and be under 200. It seems so close but so far. My clothes don&amp;#39;t fit any looser, but I had only gone up 2 pants sizes from weighing 200 to 250 #s. At 200 I was a 20-22 and at 250 I was a 24. I can now get into my 22s but not my 20s. I am so looking forward to getting in a size 18! That really seems far off.</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/LJC/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2009 22:31:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:20306fbf-4c1b-4740-8c1f-348b8f79531b</guid><dc:creator>LJC</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:&amp;#39;Amazone BT&amp;#39;;"&gt;OK, this is weird.

I had cortisone shots in my back this week and was warned that most people experience a weight gain. They said it would be small but not too hard to get rid of. So I braced myself and really controlled what I put in my mouth this week. I felt like I did pretty good, too. Well this morning I weighed in at 223#s! Yep, that&amp;rsquo;s a 4 # loss!!!</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/LJC/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2009 15:55:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:be125bc2-207e-44e3-9d0a-c3c15c5f9175</guid><dc:creator>LJC</dc:creator><description>&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14pt;color:fuchsia;font-family:&amp;#39;Amazone BT&amp;#39;;"&gt;I can&amp;rsquo;t believe it!

That&amp;#39;s a 4# loss for this week! i talked to my dr. about all my mini platues and she said that this is how my body loses weight. I get stuck at a certain weight for a few weeks then have a good loss break thru. She says this is my body and metabolism adjusting to the weighty loss. Since hearing that I haven&amp;#39;t been depressed on my few weeks of not losing. It&amp;#39;s not a steady 2#s a week, but it evens out to the same.</title><link>http://www.slim-fast.com/members/LJC/announcements/default.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 11 Apr 2009 17:14:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b27fbe55-a45c-486c-8a8b-9ae2ace276c5:c10bd814-e81b-4c4d-88a0-a703c2b8b547</guid><dc:creator>LJC</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Well, last week I weighed in at 231.
