no problem, stella. every single day i want to post a "help! what am i doing wrong?" thread because i don't feel like i am being successful AT ALL. my poor boyfriend has to hear "have i lost weight" and "do i look thinner to you" on a daily basis. i finally had to ask him to take the scale away because i was weighing myself each day and becoming depressed and disheartened when the needle didn't move down. but you know what? eventually it will move down, and so long as it does, i am going to let my weight loss run its course.

good luck to you and remember that there are tons of us on here for encouragement, should you need it.
