Thanks Mel2!! Truth is, I'm sick of 'dieting'. I like SW coz the whole family can eat the same meals, and there's very little processed food on the plan. It's just when I consider how much I need to lose, I become a tad discouraged....So, I've made my first goal the 14lbs Xmas challenge, after that it's reaching the club 10 goal. I'll readjust my goal once I get there. My hubby said a very wise thing today when I told him my worries. He said that time passes anyway, so I might as well stick at it, rather than being just as big this time next year and wishing that I had. We'll see....Good luck mel!! xo
