hi Audrey -- I'm going through about the same thing. I can't remember when the scale moved in the right direction....I gained a couple pounds last week and am hoping to get them back off again. It is very disheartening when it seems everyone around us is loosing weight - large amounts and we're struggling to loose ounces!

Don't give up - I still think if you eat more veggies and up your carbs a little you'll do better than you are now - but that's your decision.

I'm so proud of you with your water intake! I can always count on seeing your name and your daily total when I go to chart the day. Now that you've been doing this isn't it much easier than in the beginning to get all your water in? I honestly can't imagine not drinking my water everyday now.

Keep up the great work -- I hope they find out what's wrong with your shoulder. I had an MRI the first of the year and was told I need roter cuff surgery -- I'm trying to hold out and not get it done for awhile - there is just so much going on between my husband and mom. I'm the only driver in the family so when they have doctor appointments I'm the one that takes them - once we've gotten through all the appointments this year I'll make an appointment.

Take care.
