Re: Ending a five month plateau )X-post)

Charlie, sorry you've had such a rough summer. The band saves us many

times over. It's still there, helping keep us in line, even though it

cannot be first in our lives fot awhile.

Now, if it's time to re-commit, it will happily help you start losing

well again. Sandy RN

We are all proud of you Charlie. Keep it up!

I have been on a five month plateau that has been driving me nutty. I

was working on some other issues and my weight loss just took second

place.

Sandy,

You are right. The band did its job all summer and fall. Now it is my

turn to do my part again.
