      Hello mermaid989,

      Here is a little sunshine to brighten your day!

      You are so right. Nobody notices until you have lost a lot of weight but the minute you put on a couple of pounds, people notice all right. Drat it. You're also right about starving yourself too, i find when i don't eat enough, my metabolism slows down and i stop losing weight. Sending best wishes for every success.

      Big hugs for you. So hard when nothing is happening and you are trying so hard to do the right things. Can you remember a time when you lost weight successfully and what worked? If so see what are you doing differently now. I don't have serious health problems regarding meat, but i choose to stay off it as i feel so much healthier, and lose weight a lot quicker when not eating it. Wishing you every success, i know it is not easy, but if you keep with your plan, sooner or later it has to come. Try to be patient and kind to yourself. Best of luck :)
