Weigh in for 1st May - Marie (plus a question)

May 1, 2003

Hi everyone,

This morning I weighed 248 lbs so that is a 4lb loss for a month. Not

brilliant but I knew the 'slow down' would kick in soon after 3 months of much

bigger losses.

I must admit to feeling a bit disappointed at first with my loss for the month

until two things happened this morning to jolt me back into reality.

Firstly, as I weigh in kgs the figure 112.4 didn't mean all that much to me but

when I converted it into pounds to post to WLB I realised that I have broken the

250 lb barrier - that's a good feeling!!!

Secondly, I needed to carry 5 large books downstairs this morning so I put them

in a bag. When I went to pick up the bag it was SOOOOOOOOOO heavy. I was

really pleased that I didn't have to carry it too far. The scales were still

out from my weigh-in so just for fun I stood on the scales without the books

then picked up the bag and weighed myself again - the bag of books weighed 15

lbs. I was shocked to realise that since the beginning of this year I have

already lost the equivalent of nearly 2 1/2 of those " too heavy to carry too

far " bags. No wonder I was always puffing when I walked up the stairs carrying

those 2 1/2 bags. It gives me a real incentive to get stuck into losing the

next '6 and a bit' bags. I already feel the benefits of having lost 2.5 bags so

I know how great it's going to feel to lost another 6+ !!

Now for the question. When I joined the group late last year I remember

receiving a warm welcoming message and lots of very helpful advice from a member

called . It has just dawned on me that I have seen nothing from

for ages. Does it happen often that active members suddenly disappear from the

group? Does anyone know if is still around?

Cheers for now from Marie
