HANG IN THERE!! My mother had the same problem, for three weeks she was on it and nothing, nothing, nothing. She was practically in tears. Then suddenly, 4 lbs fell off practically overnight. There was almost an audible "thump" they fell off so fast. She and I have both noticed that for us, it isn't a steady pound-a-day loss. It's plateau, plateau, plateau... thump! Plateau, plateau, plateau.... thump! I have spent the last 8 months losing in 5 lb intervals. I spent all of November at 150, then suddenly 145 till Christmas... then 140 till GroundHog's Day... 135 till Easter...

God I wish Labor Day would hurry up. LOL!! ;^)

Thanks for the boost. My sirits are low anyway because I can't reconcile my month end figures. The consultant is due here any minute and I don't need to be depressed about anything extra.

I did chick with my pharmacist this morning and he assures me that the medications I take do not hinder weight loss -- not that I believe him. At least my BP meds are not the dreaded Beta blockers or diuretics -- something else. It's just gotta be my age that causes my body to cling to these extra pounds. I'll hang in there 2 more weeks, but I'm going to cut the portion sizes too and step up exercise.
