You are most welcome Anonymous! I'm so glad you posted again so soon and that the information was helpful to you. I think that Rosa gave you outstanding advice on the exercise aspect of your weight loss plan. And I love it so much that you are doing this all so sensibly. Eight months is a great pace. I always worry when my friends tell me about how they are going to lose 5 pounds in a week or whatever. Those types of diets never work or last, in my observation and opinion. But what you are doing is working and will last because you are doing it right.
I remembered something today that a dear friend of mine has told me probably a dozen times while she was losing weight. She recently lost 50 pounds, and gave herself a year to do it. Whenever she hit a plateau (and she did, like 3-4 times) and whenever she felt she wasn't losing it quickly enough or something, she would remind herself over and over that her extra weight didn't go on overnight, so it wasn't going to go off overnight either. I thought that was a good way of looking at things and a helpful thing to keep in mind. I'm very proud of you, and I hope you continue to post and share more with us. Big hugs, Michelle
