    Love this post, and its good to re-read it. Still applies... I'm at around 2 months now, and I've stumbled once (the week around graduation was a disaster but I got back up on my horse). I've been trying to beat the upcoming wall by making sure I try out new recipies and always have something new to try.

    It helps a lot to try ethnic foods. I've discovered a deep affection for sweet red bean paste. Its healthy, and there's a TON that can be done with it.

    Thanks Banks for this post.:flowerforyou:

    I am just in Phase one having just started working with a trainer and logging my food and exercise on this great site. I haven't lost a pound yet but after 5 sessions with the trainer I can see some improvement in my strength and overall stamina.

    It is helpful to be reminded of the phases involved in this journey. I printed off your post and will keep it handy to refer to when I feel discouraged.

    This message board is great motivation also.

    Thanks to everyone who contributes. I come here often to read the posts. :smile:

    Well, weigh-in day again. I lost one more pound. Slow but in the right direction. This is week 3. I don't want to hit a wall yet. The little frog needs to move further on my ticker first!

    Checking in for week 5. Stayed the same for the first time since I started on June 1. Sad day, but at least no gain. I need to read the stages again from earlier in this topic.

    How are others doing?

    Ugh...I have been through all those stages! But somehow I find myself back to stage one after a few years. At least this time I am armed and dangerous!

    Hi,

    Just checking in. We just got back from vacation so the numbers are not so good. A trip from NC to Seattle and surrounding areas. Very beautiful. Would not change a thing we did. One of the costs is up three pounds. But I am back and tracking again. So I am feeling okay.

    Others, please check in. You are my inspiration.
