So I stepped in the scale today and I was thrilled to see that I lost another 3 pounds. That means I am down 19 pounds. I admit that it has not come off as quickly as I would have liked but I feel so great that I did not give up and I kept going. This is the most amount of weight that I have lost in like the last 7 years. When I started college for my BS the weight just kept coming. Well know I am on my way and it feels great. I am doing really well with portion control and I am not even missing the extra food. I can't not even explain now great it feels. Of course all of my SP friends know how it feels so I don't have to explain. Thank You all so much for the encouragement that you have given me.
