Hey - you'll get there! looks like you're doing really well with the weight loss...I'm still 25lbs+ from getting out of the 2's, but I know it'll happen! Best of luck to you!  

Thanks! I was still the same today! I started working out every day, someone told me your muscles retain water when you start working out. I'm going with that! 

I read your profile, and see that we are about the same age. It certainly gets harder as we get older, doesn't it? Like you, I've lost and gained in many crazy ways. I have a friend our age who lost 90 lbs and has kept it off for over a year. That inspired me and gave me hope. I'm not on Atkins, but I mostly eat protein and veggies, and I take a HCG injection each day. I've lost about 45 lbs and feel so incredibly good, I can't believe it. I feel at least 10 years younger. I still want to lose another 40, and hoping to reach it by Christmas. Good luck with this, it is so worth it! Debbie 

yeah, been on some pretty strange programs, but I think this one will be the kicker...My husband's even sort of following it with me, and he commented last weekend as we were dressing for our friends' wedding, that his shirt was looser than it was when he bought it - so maybe it' working for him, too - he's eating the same as me evenings and on the weekends - I pack him sandwiches, fruit, some snacks for his lunch during the day (he works 4-10's, and is basically in a vehicle all day, so hard to do the salad thing, lol) He tells me that he can really see a difference in me, which makes me feel pretty good - i'm going to see our grandbaby in 30 days, and would really love to be down another 10-20 lbs by then (at least 10 anyway), so we'll see what happens! and yes, trying to lose weight at our age is a bitch! pardon my french lol - I never planned on being a 'skinny-mini', but trying to lose between 50 and 100 lbs at this point in my life sure wasn't in the plans!!

No worries Km---most of us speak french, too!!! I sometimes wonder if people would still read my journal if I was comfortable enough to type as I spoke in RL...LOL. I still let 1 or 2 slip every once in a while...oops-y!!
