Hi Everyone,

I went a whole week without you guys. Boy, did I miss each and every one of you. I took my son to Destin, Florida for a week. The beach was beautiful and relaxing.

Overall it was a success. I exercised every day and stuck religiously to my plan. It paid off, I had a 4.2 pound loss this week. Yeah!!!

Now why do I feel so depressed? I guess part of it is because I am back at work and that sucks. The other part is even though I have now lost 83 pounds total I still feel so fat. I am still 39 pounds away from Onederland and I want it so bad. Some days are just harder than others.

Thankfully I have this site to give me strength. Thanks for always being here - all of you. I honestly don't know what I would do without you

Love,
Wendy

Down more than 4 lb. while on vacation? That's just amazing. Give yourself a pat on the back for that. You are doing really great. Take a deep breath and relax. The weight is coming off, and soon you'll be at goal. You are doing it!

I've been close to Onderland for weeks now and it's taking forever to get there! Today I weighed 200.8. Because I'm so close it probably will take me another week to get there cause I want it so bad! I understand but you are doing great and it will happen!

Congratulations on the 4.2 pounds I only lost 2 pounds while on vacation... :( I am still 25 pounds away from onderland, and I agree it seems so close that it is forever away!

I have lost 55 pounds but still have 85 to go before I reach my goal weight. It stinks that I am not even halfway, but I keep telling myself it's a marathon NOT a sprint!

Sending you {{{{{HUGS}}}} to keep up the awesome work you are doing!
