    Sad to see but it doesn't look like the original OP actually ever got started. Imagine how much weight she could have lost if she had just started back in March.

    Sometimes the timing sucks and things happen that make it harder to start. What if they had a child that died? What if they lost their job and have been working three jobs to make ends meet? What if their spouse left them and they ended up losing their house plus all sense of stability in the process?

    Pointing out that someone could have made progress is more likely to make them feel like crap than make them want to make a change. You can't shame someone into health or weight loss.

    I'm a little shop crazy. To start out I would buy myself something I wanted in exchange for blowing off that 600 calorie Daz Bog chiller. I now have a delightful new curling wand, higher quality make up, and a nice bedding set AND 14 LBS DOWN! Take a hard look at the things you deny yourself on a regular basis. Maybe for you it's a new videogame (don't panic, she can play while stair stepping, that's what I do) or companionship? Or a ticket for the local theme park? (Think how much you'll walk between rides!). Find out the things you are denying yourself that AREN'T food, there's always something (and it doesn't have to be expensive), and trade off. It makes a world of difference.
