Spangles ... please dont give up just yet. Think of the end achievement and why you are doing this. We are all here for you and yes u may read of all the great losses people are having but we are all struggling with weight issues or we wouldnt all be in this position. I do think you should get your thyroid tested as this could be a factor as to why the weight isnt coming off so quickly for you hun.Keep smiling and reach for those goals that you so deperately want . We are all here for you xxxx
