    Where do I begin?

    With the truth. I have "found" 27 of my "lost" pounds. That is simply unnaceptable. I have never slid more than 10 pounds in the 18 months that I have been doing this plan. My low of 275.2 was on Sept 9th and I have steadily gained since then. I now weigh {gasp} 302 pounds. My personal distractions are an excuse and excuses are only that, excuses. My net loss is still 46 pounds but c'mon I should be at goal by now. There is no reason why after 18 months I'm not at goal, except for my own weak-willed laziness.

    I am back on the wagon as of this morning.
    Jim

    Oh Jim. I know lots of us have slid a little in recent months and, myself personally, I do not have anywhere near the kind of "excuses" you have. Yes, we should be able to get through the tough times without resorting to food but, life is life and sometimes it happens. But now things are looking up and you are back on track and we will all do this together, this year. Hang in there, baby!

      I must have been sending you a message. I was thinking of you yesterday, because I hadn't seen you on here lately. I was hoping all was well with the baby.

      Get back on the wagon. You can take those pounds back off in no time.

        Well "neighbor" we're in this together. This is day 3 of my new induction time and I'm keeping up with my water (which is good). Jim you've done it before my friend, you can do it. I'm already feeling the water working and the ketosis mouth. No more nibbles of the kids food, you do great during the day, I know you can come up with a strategy to deal with dinner-time.
