This board is very quiet again today. I guess everyone is having a fun and exciting weekend and getting their IE in. I did get my two hours of swimming in this Am early because I did not get to swim last night due to the lightening.  
Donna, I was thinking of you. I guess it was lightening all over the south yesterday. I am lucky in that if the storm passes quick enough I can go in later but last night I just went to bed and decided to just swim this AM. Donna now fins that might be a good thing as much as I like to swim. I hope that you do not get discouraged. We have all had those times that we gain and then a while later if we follow the plan the weight will come off. I did not lose any more myself this Am but I figure that if I continue to follow the plan as close as possible that maybe in a few days the pounds will show on the scale. I still have people almost everyday tell me I am looking thinner each day so even if I am not losing on the scale I must be firming up and that also is good. Please hang in there with us. I looked in your profile but did not see your e-mail address. I did want to send you an e-mail. 
Reen, I am so sorry that your daughter was ill and had to have emergency surgery. I am so glad that she is doing better. I bet you are very glad to get her home with you again also. I will keep you both in my prayers. 
Shirley and Karen you both sound like you are doing very well. Keep up the good work. You both may have had a bump or so in the road but in the long run you are doing well. Keep up the good work. 
Cindy, hang in there. If we find ourselves off the plan just take a deep breath and look at what you are doing and then get right back in there. We all get discouraged but with each other's support we can do this. I know you can do this. keep working hard.  
Now everyone lets drink our water and do our IE and follow the food plan for today and then again for tomorrow . We can do this. Alice
