Hi - I have 50 pounds to lose and could really use some help. So far have lost 12 in 6 weeks but I am starting to find it slow and getting a little impatient, worried I might fall off the wagon.

------------------

TANIA,
DON'T GIVE UP!!!I KNOW WHERE YOU AT, I'M IN THE SAME SPOT . I'VE BEEN GOING TO W.W. FOR SEVEN MONTHS AND HAVE LOST 28 POUNDS,BUT HAVE'NT LOST ANYTHING FOR THREE MONTHS NOW.I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE ,BUT I 'M NOT GIVING IP, I'VE COME TO FAR TO GO BACK TO THE OLD WAY.IT'S FUN TO GO SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES NOW(EVEN WITH 30 MORE POUNDS TO LOOSE). SO MAYBE WE CAN HELP ONE ANOTHER OUT JUST BY TALKING.SO HERES ONE BUDDY FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK----BEV

You need to "focus" on the weight you have lost and how much better you already feel.
Try not to think of healthy eating as a diet. It should be a new lifestyle, not one you are going to stop when you arrive at that magic number. One of my favorite quotes is, "I may not be where I want but thank God I'm not where I was". One day at a time, eat healthy, drink lots of water, add some exercise and you will soon be losing again.
....focus

Thanks for you replies - it is definately a very slow process but I will not give up - you are right, I have to stop thinking of it like a diet and rather a new way of healthy living - at least thats what I tell myself after swimming - that exercies is a lifetime thing - I'm not to stop after I lose the weight. Same with the food but it sure is slow getting the pounds off - I'm used to previous diets where I lost 12 pounds a month of course only to put it back on again.! I hoipe I can make it this time.
