    I love your post. It is nice to see someone else's struggles particularly someone who has seen so much success. I think sometimes when those of us who are just starting out see someone as successful as you are, we forget that you are human and probably had the same struggles we are going through right now. Thanks for sharing! :bigsmile:

    This is so awesome, and also SO true! Last year I made it down nearly 30 lbs before I threw in the towel out of frustration with a plateau and managed to gain it all back. So this time I will at least know it's coming and be able to deal. :) Congrats on your awesome weight loss.

    3rd month - Um.... hello??? What happened? Why aren't we losing weight now. I didn't change anything. I even worked out more. Why do you hate me?!?!? I want cake!

    7th Month - I'm going to kill someone right now. I hate this stupid diet. Why didn't I just stick with what I was doing before? It was working. Maybe not as fast as I wanted, but it was working. Where are the cookies??



    jajajaja that was so hilarious! Awesome post! I'll def bookmark it for any time i need to get my thoughts in place :P

    This is great but I'm really hoping it doesn't take me 18 months to lose 80 lbs! I did it before in 11 so I'm hoping for a repeat. lol.

    Love this! You forgot a couple, though.

    Month 11: OMG what is that lump? It's cancer! It's cancer! Oh wait, that's just a bone. OMG what are those nubbly little lumps? This time it's cancer for sure! Oh wait, that's just muscle.

    Love it!! Or "Why is it so cold now? Oh yeah, I've lost my insulation."

    Love this post. I hope I can make it past the third month. I end up with cake.

    Ha ha!! The cake is a lie!! (OK, not really. It's amazing and has fruit filling.) :)

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test.
