I will ditto the previous gal who replied and say thanks for such an uplifting post!! We have had almost simular experiences! Two and a 1/2 years ago I lost 100 pounds in thirteen months, couldn't believe I had gone my whole life without knowing this magic, wol. Then like an idiot for a variety of reasons (none of them good) I gained back 60 pounds . The day after Christmas I realized I had to stop and began what I now call the rest of my life - lc. The first week a couple of pounds fell off and I was back in business. But after the first month of losing 7 pounds, I then went a month of losing nothing! I saw 265 on the scale for 29 days! But last week I lost 2 pounds, and never have I been more excited. I think those of us who have done this before and are now doing it again, are incredibly determined, and if it is slow it is frustrating beyond belief ! I also have been hitting the treadmill for the past month, but will take to heart some of your other ideas, thanks!
