He is a wonderful guy - I'm truly blessed.

When I told DH I'd lost 3 lbs this month he said if I'd just quit finding themit would really be good... I'd would have lost my total weight by now ha ha... he is proud of me though...

Someone wanted to know how to lose that much: knowing DH would help me read the scale was a bit of an impetus (!) and my 50th high school reunion is looming also.
But since I've been on every diet known to humans at one point or another, I do seem to know what works for me - and what doesn't. When I used the low carb diet, I lost the most - but gained it all back quite rapidly when I finished. I was so hungry at that point I stuffed anything and everything in my face! So this time, I'm eating senisbly - good carbs (whole grains, fruits and veggies), low fat and high protein items, etc. I even had 1 piece of chocolate - and was able to stop without craving more! Nothing is off limits except the volume of food I had been eating. I'm staying within 1500 calories a day - more or less - but not getting compulsive about it.
I wish each of us success in February - however you choose to measure your own success!

Well, it won't be me again this month, that's for sure. I am losing but at such a slow rate. I'm with WW and I lost about 1 lb. a week. But that's ok because I'm not gaining. Good luck to the winner.

I'm still with my 1200 calories a day. It is working...I'm averaging 8 pounds a month loss. I'm very happy with this loss.
Good news! Today is my Dad's 86th birthday and he is doing well AND my daughter is in labor and will deliver grandchild #9 today! Pray for Melanie, please.

Good morning, everyone. Congratulations to everyone for your losses. No matter the number, a loss is a loss. I'm proud of all of us.
On a sadder note, James' body was found this morning. The family never gave up hope of him being found alive, somehow, knowing it would have only been by the Grace of God, but none the less, still hopeful. At least now they can put closure to this search ordeal and move forward. It is going to be hard for them, as James will sorely be missed. He is already missed but at least now they "know". Your continued prayers for the family are so very appreciated!! Thank you, all, for your prayers and sweet comforting words. Hugs to all, Sandy

I'm new for the January loss challenge (already signed up for Feb) and didn't know that there was a constant thread going. Do you start out with a new thread every month? How would I find this for February so I can keep up? How do we find out the winner (is it posted) and get her/his address to send the FQ too?
