... I'm 8 lbs. behind you and it's coming off slowly for me!! But like my hubby reminded me, "you didn't put the weight on quickly...it takes a while for it to come off too!" I know he's right! I just keep pluggin' along!!

Hi MommaB!
Our culture teaches us to look for "instant gratification".
The observation your hubby shared with you is so obviously true, most of us don't think about it.
If we don't understand this, we set ourselves up for many UNNECESSARY self-imposed disappointments!
Many things (like weight gain or loss) happen over a long period of time.
So why is it we think and respond like our FAT will disappear every single day and be gone by next week?
If we had weighed ourselves everyday of our past lives, we'd have noticed our weight going up and down.
Of course, more up than down or we wouldn't need this lifestyle change.
One thing we can all take comfort in is that by staying the course with FTS, we will lose our weight MUCH faster than we put it on!
