YES! I'M SHOUTING! YES! I'M DOING THE HAPPY DANCE! I'm down 16 1/2 pounds (2 in the last couple of days)!
I haven't been this low since December, 2000! I owe a big THANK YOU
to all of you LDLers out there that have helped me get this far. I couldn't have done it without you. I still need all of you as I have a loooooong way to go yet, but I see a glimmer of light at the end of this tunnel.I have been tracking my weight since 1998 and when I checked to see when I was last at this weight I was amazed that it has been 8 1/2 Years!
When I looked at my chart this time I actually BELIEVED I WOULD get below 200 pounds. Before it was always IF I get there, I'll TRY to get there, and this time I felt I WOULD . And it has been so EASY! 
The last time I remember really struggling and starving and exercising like crazy. Not so this time. Yes, I know I'm addicted to my scale. Maybe (when I get below 200) I will put it away (at least for a week at a time).
Anyway, LDL IS WORKING!

The confidence we feel and share are so important as we experience the joy of succeeding with LDL. What a great plan and a great group of wonderful, motivating members. Pam
It's because of all of you that I am doing this. There have been several times I wasn't sure it was working. But reading all of your trials and successes has helped me to keep going. 
). He says he can tell I've lost weight (inches) and says I am losing faster than he is. I don't say much. I still try to be encouraging. But I KNOW why I am losing more than he is. 
). Another friend of mine is a member and as I was telling her about LDL she mentioned TOPS and would I like to present LDL to them as I know about half the membership. I thought Why NOT? I wish someone told me about LDL 30 years ago. They want me back in a month, both to see what I've lost and to answer any questions (I gave them the Quick Start and website and told them to purchase the book and if all that fails, call me -- some of them don't have computers -- the "older" generation) and maybe represent LDL.
