LOL And, that's what I'm trying to do (and do succeed at most days). Here I

am thinking I'm such a 'slow' loser but I feel so much better now, at five

months out and having lost 70 lbs than I did at three months out and only

having lost 55 or so... what the hell --- Wait -- I've lost 15 lbs in two

months? Good Lord! Talk about perception problems..... ROFL I know I did

start out pretty slowly, though. I remember feeling really insecure about

losing 15 lbs in the first three weeks when I thought it should have been

20-25...

all the best,
