janRN hang in there, don't give up. I gained 3 lbs over Easter weekend, but decided that it was worth going on as I only gained 3lbs and not the 6 pounds I had loss. I also realized that I would rather lose a little bit at a time, and know that it would be easier to keep it off then having a big amount loss in a short time and chance putting it back on. My problem is that I want it all off right now,but I know that won't happen. My goal is to lose between 60 or 70 lbs. Right now I am just planning on small amounts each month and I will get there. I know there will be times that I won't have any loss, but as long as I have everyone here on the weigh in Iknow I am not alone and we are all here to encourage each of us along. I just hope the weigh in continues on each month, because it has given me the incentive to try to lose and any weight that I lose I count as a blessing.
