Well it's been 2 months now and I'm down a total of 18 pounds. It's getting a little harder but I'm hanging in there. I hope I don't turn to stess eating as I have in the past since we just learned that both my husband and I will be without jobs soon.

You are doing great!!! Hang in there.

Remember "that which does not break us makes us stronger", the bad news is a shock, but something good shall come of it.

Congrats on the weight loss!

Congratulations on your weight loss, Joan. Don't let your bad news cause you to go off your diet. You've probably heard these words before: "When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." Good luck, my friend.

That is an amazing loss. Congratulations....

great job! When you start feeling the stress take over you, go for a walk or do something to keep your mind off of eating. Now, if I would only follow my own advice.

Wonderful job!!! I agree with JoAnn and I also need to follow that advice. I love taking baths in the evening and that's when I tend to stress eat so I'm thinking about doing that instead of being anywhere near the kitchen.

What a terrible time to lose jobs! Yikes. Do not eat for stress! Realize that you are improving, that you have lost a good amount of weight and that you can continue. You will look better when you go for interviews! Keep going! 18 is nothing to sneeze at!

Congrats on your weight loss. I am sorry to hear about the job situation. We were there a few months ago. Do you belong to a Church or Temple? They will help you. God loves you, and will not let you down. Blessings and prayers for you sugar.
