Colleen, you silly goose! I read your line "Sometimes I am scared that the pounds will never come off" and then I read your stats.....Talk about pounds coming off! 235 all the way down to 148?!?!?! That is what I call pounds coming off, not to mention incredible determination, will power, and patience!! Life is full of little 4 lb ups and downs. Living life healthfully is what it is all about. I hope the extra calories this past weekend were due to great times and enjoyment. I hope you smiled and savored your splurges. Now you jumped right back on track and got on with your life. A livable WOL demands adaptation. Throw the scale out the window and feel proud of yourself that you are in control!
