It averages out to what, 6 pounds a month?? That is what your Dr tells you is about target if he is anything like mine. The first thing you need to make sure is that you are getting enough protien, you can never ever loose without it. You have to eat enough (or drink) enough protien. You HAVE TO exercise, you have to whether you want to or not. Your body needs it to keep loosing. DO NOT drink with meals, it makes you hungrier faster. Get junk food out of hte house, this is my big problem! IF it is there we eat it, so just let it go away! Good luck! BTW, I in Jackosn, MI! :girl_hug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boo Boo Kitty 3 Posted August 30, 2007 Gail 30 pounds in 17 months is still a loss. We can help you get back on track! You have to make a recommittment to yourself to make it happen. Start with tracking your eating and drinking daily. Fitday.com is a free site where you can do that and track EVERYTHING, do not leave anything off because you are only cheating yourself! Do you attend a support group at all? While LBT is great you need a local support system as well. They can help keep you on track and have someone to work out with as well. As far as the ticker I uploaded mine to photobucket and copied it over that way, it is the only way I can get it to work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
