Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I could never think of quitting, even if I never lost another pound (which I'd better. hehe). I know that if I quit I would just gain back the 65 pounds that i have lost so far. I still have like 80 to go (have to see when I get down there). October 8th will be a year for me on plan. The longer I go, the more determined I get. And now that I have a book coming out in Feb 2006 (did I mention that to this group? If not, I've wanted to be a writer my whole life. I do publish articles and short stories but wanted to publish a novel. Well, I got word Monday that Wings Press wants my novel. Got the contract and all. It's my entire life's dream coming true. It's a children's historical fiction novel, spooky, written in the same format as Goosebumps or the like.) I have to be at goal by then, for all those book signings I will be doing. Now there's an incentive if ever I had one. So I am going no where. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little over a month, maybe closer to a month and a half, I'm down 13 pounds. Now, I haven't been doing my walking like I used to since it's pretty precarious to walk around my community. 3 weeks after a freaking hurricane hits, there are still uprooted trees everywhere. Now, we have another one threatening. Just what I needed. Of course, I'm trying to do the best I can with my hurricane food being SBD friendly.

Interest really peaked this Summer and has fallen sharply. > Are we witnessing a passing fad? Not necessairly. When school starts families get very busy and don;t post as much.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Absolutely true, Ann. Even those of us without kids, school, etc. can find Sept busy. I had a gathering to plan, a couple of days of out of town work - with accompanying prep, and helping out with family problems. Just got busy. Also, I think those who've been here for a while start holding back on answering every post because a) it's time the " younger " people started giving answere and what good is six posts that say the same thing to the same question. <snip> Not necessairly.
