Hi

Not gone for good and I haven't completely self destructed. I'll be honest,  I have gained probably 15 or more of the 40 pounds I lost back. I have  only 9 days until vacation and failed at my 100 pounds by vacation goal. So a temporary plan began today. Very low carb eating from today until vacation to at least get some belly bloat and fluid off of me to make the swimming trunks bought after the 40 pound loss fit better. After that I will convert back to the successful eating plan I did the first four months when I lost weight. The big thing is I haven't gave up, just haven't given it my all like I should have been. I have picked myself up and am moving forward again. I may fall again (and again, and again...) but I will not give up my goal of losing 150 pounds. I have lost about 25 pounds of it, so I am proud of that! I start college for the first time (minus the 7 weeks I went 12 years ago) in August. I have all online classes this semester, but in the spring I want weight off for when I have real classes. Yep, new goal, lol. I am shooting for weighing 299 pounds by 1/1/12. More to come later, just bare with me to get my stuff in order...mentally and physically. Take care friends.
