I will probably be happy dancing for days!! Thanks guys!!! You are both getting very close, too!!! You will be there before you know it!!!!

Brenda You are so close. It's just a matter of days, and WOW!!!!!!! This milestone feels so much better than I thought it would!! can't wait for you to get there!!

If the fill is too tight you can always have some removed. I had to have some removed with my last fill. It seems to me like when I eat what I am "supposed" to eat I am tighter. I know that doesn't make any sense. I would go for the fill and talk with your doc. I just got over a plateau and they are soooooo discouraging. Maybe a very small fill will get you over the hump. Your exercise will start showing up as well. Everytime I begin exercising I gain a couple of pounds but then it really starts to fall off. I think that is what I am experiencing now. I think I just rambled and probably didn't make any sense. Hang in there. You will start losing again. I am sure of it!!

Way to go LillyAnne!!!! Congrats to us!!!! It's the first time in 9 years for me!!!!!

Ditto, Georgia, except the lacto ovo vegetarian thing. I gotta have some meat!! LOL On another note..... I AM IN ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!! My scales said 199.4 this morning. I am soooo pumped!!! I think exercise has gotten me over the hump. I just got back from the grocery store again,and I am ready to go today. I will post menu later. Georgia, Have a great Day!!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!

I'm staying on plan today because........ I'M IN ONEDERLAND!!!!! The scales read 199.4 this morning. I don't ever want to see the 200's again.

Sounds like a great plan!! You are doing awesome. I am ready to get started!!

You go Georgia girl!!!! You are getting off to an awesome start. I had planned to have an apple and walnuts for breakfast, but ended up having nothing. I am going to put off starting until tommorow. my 16 month old woke up at midnight with 103.2 fever. It seems I always have a sick kid so I wasn't too alarmed. I took him to the doctor and he has pneumonia(in both lungs). YUCK!! The doctor said that it is in the early stages and since I am a nurse he let me bring him home. He got a shot of Rocephin, oral antibiotics, breathing treatments, and we go back on Wednesday for a repeat chest xray!! YUCK YUCK YUCK!!! Anyway, due to all of that, I am going to take it easy today and will get back hard and heavy tommorow. Amy

Welcome luvin, the more the merrier!! Jenny, hang in their. I always gain a little when I start exercising, and then the pounds start dropping off. Amy

I'm staying on plan today because I have a new plan and I am excited about it.

I'm staying on plan today because my scales say 201!!!!!!!!! Onederland here I come. Amy

There is another Christian based weight loss devotion book called "Free to Be Thin" It was very good.

I have not read a lot. But what I have read I have been really impressed with. They do seem very knowledgable. I like how it tells us why we should make the changes that it reccommends. It's not just do this and don't do that. It tells you why. Lots of really good information. The diet looks pretty restrictive, but I really want to give it my very best effort. I can't wait to get the hard copy and really dig into it. Amy

I like Big Butts.....Sir Mix alot

Ok, I'm done with exercise for the night. It is way too late to be trying to catch up on a day of poor choices. Looking forward to tommorow. Amy

Walmart and Brookshires. Not a lot of organic here either. There is a Whole Foods Market about 2 hours from here. I went once before. The only thing is, with a family of 7, I just don't think I can afford to shop at a supermarket like that. Just eating healthy is more expensive and its probably the only added expense I can handle right now. I know it would be sooo beneficial to eat all organic, but I think what I can get locally will have to do for now. I think if we follow the diet, even with nonorganic foods, we will still see success with our symptoms. Granted, maybe not quiet as much as eating all organic, but I still think we will see good results. well, I just babbled on and on didn't I?? I am going shopping tommorow night. i am ready to get going. Today I ate so much junk. I went to a friends for lunch. We had chicken fried deer steak, potatoes, broccoli, and corn. We had cheesecake for dessert. Then we went to a birthday party and I ate a small ice cream cone. I have not eaten that much junk in one day in awhile. I really feel like crap tonight. I am trying really hard to finish my workout, but I stopped to post because I am having a hard time after all the junk and it being so late. I guess I better get back on the treadmill.

This new diet plan hopefully will help us all get back on track. I am training for a 5k and am entered in a weightloss challenge at our gym. The prize is $500.00. That's pretty good incentive. Georgia, you have been such an inspiration to me. This is a journey. There will be ups and downs. Your ticker shows lots of ups!!!! You rock!!!

I am 202 this morning!! I can't believe that I am almost in onederland. I have been following my plan very closely this week and have upped my exercise significantly, so I expect to see these next 3 pounds fall off soon. Ready for onederland, never to return!!! Amy

I am planning to do my shopping tommorow evening. The book looks really good. Lots of good explanations, not just do this or that. It is kinda hard to sit and read it on the computer. I can't wait to get my hard copy. I skipped to the food part so I will know how to shop. If I understand it right, it looks pretty easy to shop for. Just stay within the lists and pretty much no breads, dairy or anything from a box or bag. Easy enough to buy for. I am looking forward to getting started as well.

I'm staying on plan today, because I feel so much better when I do.
