I'm losing pretty slowly--only 8 pounds in 5 weeks, and I've been basically the same weight for the last 2 weeks. But the group's encouragement that this is a Way Of Eating has kept me in line (mostly!). I threw out 5 pairs of jeans last week that are too big, and today have on a pair that continues to get loose; have to wear a belt to keep them from sliding down. So, it must be improving somewhere besides the scale.

At first the way of eating concept was difficult for me to really buy into, but I feel good. In spite of eating so much more meat than I used to, I don't feel "heavy" after a meal.

But, I wish could lose faster....Nat, you've lost 3 1/2 a week! Wow--wish I were doing that.

But, I'm shrinking slowly, and that sure beats the steady gain before!
