I finally broke another very long stall! I had actuall been retaining water and was up from 209 to 211 for a couple of days -- then this morning -- 205! Now my goal is to break 200 before Christmas. But if I don't, well, there's always next month.

This support group is what kept me going to reach this point. Without all of your advice and support, I believe that I would have given up. It's because of this forum that I understand that I am doing this for life, for my health, and it is a life-long committment and I should not give up just because I don't drop a dress size in a week.

Thank all of you for the wonderful encouragement.
