LaneyBeth, My goodness, you're doing fantastic!! Did you notice that on your profile it's telling you that you're a third to your goal?! That's great!

It sounds like you know logically what to do - water, exercise, and like agonycat says, give the scales a rest for awhile. Why don't you stay off for a week (or a month !) and do what you have planned and then see what they say? You may be pleasantly surprised!

Remember, time will pass, regardless... in little more than a month it will be 2003. We can do what we know is best for our health and know that the weight will come off in time, or we can give up and be in the same position we're in today, this time next year. It's up to us.

By the way, I'm an Okie too. It's nice to see a "neighbor" here. Good luck to you, Jenny
