    The battle is brutal, but you are winning and almost there. Don't give up and loose all that work. Stay strong and stay the course. You CAN do this.

    I couldn't agree more. It's brutal. I wish it was as easy to get the weight off as it was easy to put it on! You look great & I can see the difference just the last 2 months have shown. You're doing awesome!

    I know the feeling! I have about 10lbs to go and the last week the scale has been slowly creeping back up. I'm getting it under control but I have been trying to lose the 10lbs for over 18 months now :(.

    I hear ya! I really started 2 1/2 weeks ago and am doing Weight Watchers the old way. I lost 8.5 in two weeks. I used to lose 14-15 pounds in two weeks. I am measuring and exercising every day. I don't know if it's because I have dieted so many times in my life or just the fact that being almost 43 is a factor. My scale moves so slow the last few days!

    Whatever the case is, I vowed not to give up. I really like seeing faster results though! Slow and steady wins the race and I am already feeling better physically!

    You look terrific and your hard work shows. Nothing good comes easy!

    wow what difference 13 pounds makes... gosh it does take a long time...I'm down about 10 pounds from when I first started trying to lose weight. It has been a long hard road...but I tell myself.. I have to do that just two more times and I'll be at goal. but you only have ten to go! break it down into two five pound goals.

    Bottom line.. you look really good now..you are just fine tuning with the last ten pounds.
