Thanks all,

You reconfirmed what I was already expecting. I think I was very hyped up after reading the book and reading success stories on the internet and really expected to loose 10 pds the first month. As I realized that wasn't going to happen I started to get frustrated, especially as my dh. who has about the same amount of weight as I have to loose, was loosing all his weight. I just had a little "whoosh" and am down 2 pds!!! Which would put me at 7pds in 5 weeks and I am okay with that.

Kathy, I had always weighed 140-145 pds till about 2 years ago when the weight crept on probably due to anti-depresants I was taking at the time. So I feel that is quite a realistic goal for me. That puts me in a size 8-10 dress which is how I like to measure my success. Thanks for your words of encouragement and congratulations on your phenomal success!!!

Thanks again for the encouragement.

Allison
