<b>nancyj_pa</b> That stinking bloat fairy! *sigh* meanie! But you went to a wedding, drank wine and <i>still</i> didn't gain weight? That is wonderful. You must have subconsciously controlled your portions. I'll bet you are retaining fluid because of the wine and off plan foods. It will leave you soon and take a pound or two of fat when it goes. I'm sure of it.
Congratulations to your daughter on her marriage.
<b>Sue & Co.</b> {{{HUGS}}} sweetie. I sure hope the results are good news from that surgery. The BF will leave you eventually. Don't get impatient. As long as you keep following your plan you will lose the weight. When will you be able to exercise again? Exercising will speed your losing. Hope you can get back to it soon.
Thanks for posting here even though you showed a tiny gain this week. I know it's more fun to post a loss. I'm proud of you for not giving up. You're going to succeed at this. You are going to reach goal. All of your WISH friends are going to help you!

<b>ead79</b> Why are you worried, Elisabeth? You know as well as I do that if you stay 100% on plan and exercise the weight is eventually going to go away. Don't get worried, get moving! Are you working out?
You can do this, you know you can. Don't get impatient, this weight will come off. Thank you for posting here today. I'm very proud of your determination to succeed.

Okay i know that doesnt sound like much
Are <i>you</i> talking to <i>me</i>? What do you mean it doesn't sound like much? 1 pound every week would be 52 pounds in a year. That's 4 sticks of butter or 20 slices of bacon. Duct tape that butter to some body parts and wear it around for a while and you will see just what you accomplished this week. You made <b>progress</b> this week. You lost one whole pound--16 whole ounces. <i>You</i>, my friend, are a WISH success and don't you ever forget it. You're doing great. When you can start exercising again you will start losing more weight. Be proud of yourself, I'm sure proud <i>of</i> you!
<b>mommyflower</b> Way to go! Another pound and half gone forever. Doesn't it just make you feel proud to see how successful you are? I'm sure proud <i>of</i> you. You're doing great! It's a great feeling when our clothing begins to get too large, isn't it? Good job, this week!
<b>maryliz</b> I'm glad you posted here this week, even though you are feeling down. Please don't feel so sad about this. You are probably building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. You <i>maintained</i> your weight. You are on your way to goal and you are going to get there. I'm sure you are. Don't be impatient. You are going to succeed, we're all going to help you. {{{HUGS}}} my friend, and <i>smile</i>. A positive attitude will help you reach goal. I'm proud of you...I just wish you were feeling proud of <i>yourself</i>!
<i>Onward and downward, WISH buds...</i>

Down another pound this week - YEAH a new clippie!
Onward and downward you BUNCH OF LOSERS!!!!! Have a great week!
It has gotten cold enough to put on jeans here and I am so happy my jeans are feeling very loose, almost ready to go down a size!
I went to Curves 3 times, did WATP 2 and 3 mile tapes each once, and was exactly on target with my points. This "maintaining thing" had me pretty depressed yesterday morning. Add to this that I went looking for some new pants on Saturday night, and everything out there looks no better than the ones that are now literally falling off of me. To find something that isn't huge in the waist won't go on over my butt and thighs. Made me feel like I was better off when I weighed 29 pounds more because at least the clothes fit better. I know this is not the way I should be thinking ... I'm healthier, I weigh less than I have in many years, and I do look better. But when after all of my hard work, I have the most depressing shopping experience than I have ever had, let's just say it was not a good day in my house yesterday. Today is a new one, let's hope it's a better one 
and muffins, and even a hamburger bun (yuck!). And I'm just recovering from that monthly water retention event. So, while I didn't gain, I didn't lose and I feel stupid and piggy. 
. I am planning on having alot better week. Congrats to all!!!
