I'm glad stalling doesnt bug you like it does me your blessed with that. But Geof is probably right, maybe get some milk of magnesia and have a ball in the toilet and you'll probably loose 10 pounds
Oh, don't misunderstand.. the stalls drive me BATTY.. I give myself a lot of pep talks, reminding myself that I didn't get fat in a day and I'm not going to become completely healthy in a day, either.

I get SO annoyed that I've "Only" lost 70 lbs so far.. but then I think WHAT.. *I* lost 70 lbs ALREADY??? I've never accomplished that much weight loss in such a short time before so why am I complaining?

And life has changed so significantly for me already, in little but noticeable ways.. not even counting the three walks I take every day, but things like being at the grocery store and the woman in front of me dropped a jar of peanut butter... I bent down quickly and handed it to her.. My daughter, who came home from college today said "Wow, Mom.. there was a time when you would have told me to get it for her but you just jumped right on it". And she noticed I parked as far away from the door of the store instead of heading to the spots up close.

And my lovely girl, a solid muscular girl in size 11 but who eats *crap* day in/day out said that maybe she would benefit from eating a bit better and so we spent some time in Whole Foods looking around- she's not a convert yet, but I have all summer to work on her :-)

So, yeah, I do wish I could be like some of the others whose weight has just whooshed off..but you & me, Deborah, we can stick together and celebrate these smaller milestones, okay?
