[QUOTE="Lil, post: 706940, member: 17309"] I can see how that would be incredibly frustrating. I remember how frustrated it was to take a year to lose 30, when I had lost 70 the year before and was doing even better with diet and exercise, working HARD. Still, if it helps, keep in mind that 7 a year down - is DOWN. Not up! :) For me, every lb down is a victory won and keeping it off??? That's winning the war. I know, 30 lbs in a year sounds like a lot...but I remember telling someone how, after Jabber and I married, I gained about 15 lbs a year until I'd gained like 75 lbs! (Jabber and I are very much alike in that we LOVE food. We were happy and loved each other, regardless of our sizes and just happily ate our way up the scale.) They were horrified! [I]How could I gain 15 lbs in 12 months and not panic![/I] My answer was...15 lbs is a lot when you're 5'4" and go 110 to 125. But when you're 5'10" and you go from 250 to 265, it's not even a dress size. You don't even really notice it except on the scale. When you lose though, same thing. Hard to see it until quite a bit is gone. Amen! [/QUOTE]
