It's good to hear about everyone's progress on this weight loss journey and it is a journey. We need to work at it for life in most cases. I have had my weight go up and down so many times in my years. I feel lucky in the fact that it never gets real high and has not caused any health problems. I try to walk every dy and eat sensibly. Right now I am about 25 pounds heavier than I would like. July I really tried to do well and I lost 1 pound. august has been pretty much a bust...and vacation starts this week end. Wewll I guess i will just continue to do my best and try not to pick up any more bad habits. You guys all keep up your good work and continue to offer support. Friends who support without judging are our best diet aid!
