Hi guys! Sorry for leaving the group - I should mostly be sorry to myself, since this group has helped me stay focused. However, with my promotion, work has been hectic and with my already hectic lifestyle and family to take care of, I've had to pick and choose my priorities: BS wasen't one of them. I'll still be on here, but can't be as supportive as I could potentially be; therefore, I've given up my spot as a member to someone more active and deserving of it. When things settle down by the end of August, I'll get back on the waiting list - if needed be.

Other than that I've been overwhelmed with e-mails so I'll recap quickly on how I've been doing. Other than plateau'ing for almost 4 weeks, I hung on tight and lived through the hell of not having a scale. I've lost weight and will continue updating my ticker as time progresses... 41 pounds is good. Life is good to me (even though I am broke, lol) I'm in a happy place now.

Eating has been wonderful, I must admit that I've eaten at Subway twice this past week, but a 6-incher on brown bread with fat-free dressing wouldn't at all be considered a cheat.

I wish you all the best of luck, and hope you can all stay determined and focused this summer -- and not gain!!! BBQ season is a killer for some!
