Until you decide that nothing will stop you from success, Everything will.

Good Morning Sister W.W.F.F.,

The above quote was passed on to my by our Lisa (Love's wife) yesterday, and it packs a punch of a message if you will just take some time to think it over.

Do you ever just feel as if your spinning your wheels where your weight loss is concerned? I do know that many time our weight loss can become very slow, even to the point of stopping and there can be good reason for that. You could have been put on a different medication, it could be your body is just needing some time to catch up and get used to the idea of the changes you have put it through. The important thing here is to know that it is something like different medication or just a real stall, instead of ''too many treats daily".

I have a few things that may help us if we are struggling a bit, or if we are doing the white knuckle eating plan. What is the White Knuckle eating plan? It is where you are barely hanging on each day.

What's in your mind may be showing up on the scale.

Say nice things. We seem to at time have no problem saying negative things to ourselves, so why not take the time to stand in front of that mirror and say something nice about yourself.

Re-commit in writing. I just about know at some point and time we were all very diligent about tracking our food. Toni has told us many time, ''keep those past tracker so when you are having some problems you can refer back to those." It is a great idea to be able to look back and see what it was you were eating when the weight seem to be melting off of your body.

Stand Firm. If you have ever watched the Biggest Loser show, you know how fast those people are losing their weigh. I don't know 12-15 weeks to drop a 100 pounds just does not seem right too me. Weight loss is a lifelong pursuit If you don't have slip ups now and then; well you must be called Saint So & So, due to that is pretty much perfect. When you do have your slip up, expect them, accept them, deal with them and move on. Remember I had to do that last week.

All Shapes, all sizes. Do not get frustrated that your weight loss has slowed or even stopped. Remember if you are doing everything you should be, tracking, getting in activity, coming to meetings, reading the 3 a.m. e-mails, lol lol, then it could very easily just be your body. Consider this. Weight loss of just a percent of your body mass gives you all kinds of increased health benefits. It may be that you've already reached a healthy weight for you. This is why it is very important to check with your doctor first before ever beginning any weight loss program. Not everyone fits into someone else's chart.

Cannot and will not tell you all that I came up with the above on my own, but it came from my latest edition of Better Homes and Garden magazine. I hope it will help in some way.

This is a new week, we all have things that we know we have to do, then there are always those things that get thrown at us we were not expecting. An important thing here to remember when that happens, is to B-R-E-A-T-H.

Denise, Rhonda & Cara, good luck today. We are so proud of you all.

Much Love to all,

Joan
