Hello all!
I am back after a pre-Thanksgiving hiatus. I didn't splurge (much), and I have generally kept to my diet and exercise. The reason I left was because I was at a plateau and I hadn't lost weight or inches and it was extremely frustrating. I guess I just noticed that with this website, I was logging too much...every piece of gum, every weight fluctutation, every sit-up, and just WAITING for the pounds to drop, WONDERING why they hadn't dropped, and getting mad at myself and asking questions as to why nothing was happening.
I guess I am just one of those people that isn't going to see results as quickly as everyone else and I am going to have to work hard at it. I don't think I am going to log my calories and such for a little while, but I am going to be on MFP for the support!
Thank you to everyone for being here!

    Cardgirl, we've missed you! I know all about those plateaus... ugh. It can be so frustrating. I guess the best advice someone gave me once was that this quest to be healthier is not a race, it's a lifestyle change. It isn't going to happen over night. Stick with it, girl. You can do it. Welcome back.
