WindSparrow, I'd be happy if it stayed the same. I went up by three pounds. Which, I know, but still. The other issue, apparently the lady who did my starting measurements measures very tight. Which isn't right. So I don't even get to know if I've decreased at all for another four weeks.

Clothes aren't fitting a lot better. I do have more energy, and the moving around has improved mood, of course. Waiting another month to find out even a little something promising? Killer.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

If you get really discouraged, and want to try a different eating plan, I can point you to what I was following when I released 73 lbs a year and a half ago.

Good for you!

How different is different?

How different is different?

Modest amount of protien, controlled amount of fats, little bit of fruit, little bit of whole grain, zero refined starches or sugar, whole lotta veggies. It's the eating plan recommended by Overeaters Anonymous, as relayed to me by a physician's assistant who had lost significant amounts of weight attending meetings. (I've never gone to a meeting.)

One thing that is very, very different from most diets? I never got up from a meal wondering where the rest of it was. Many times, particularly at first, I would carefully measure out portions according to directions, then look at my plate and think, "How in blazes am I supposed to eat all that?"

Is there anyone up that is willing to help me with a bit of Teacup Guy's resume?

sj, I could take a look, though not sure how much help I'd be.

WS, I'm not a huge vegetable person (which is probably part of the problem), but I'm getting to the point where I'll try anything. Giving up sugar will be HARD.

Profile addy is good, for both of you.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Bleargh. It's 10pm and I'm just now leaving work. I'd like to say that this is unusual, but really? It's not. I mentioned that we needed to hire another person for this dept. to my boss today and emailed him a formal request for someone. Please, dear dog, please. Let him say yes.

ETA: ChiKat, I hope they get that worked out. You deserve to have a life, to relax and all that good stuff.
