rjtrix wrote a comment yesterday on what I had been writing. Thank you for reading and enjoying it! :) I am not totally sure if my hump as I called it is truely a hump or just extra weight carried around my shoulders. But as I went from being 5' 10.5" to 5' 8" I definately plan to get a check up to see if anything if wrong other than being FAT! I don't think my calcium is a problem any more because I take this really great supplement for that. It is so great that when I had my wisdom teeth out last February my dentist had a really hard time removing them because of how strong they were. lol Made him work to remove them - the only downside to that was the novicane started to wear off - OUCH!

Also in response to rjtrix - I agree walking around outside Fla. would be too much. I have heard good things about eliptical machines. I had asked my doctor about ideas for weight loss and he suggested working out on an eliptical machine as it combines all aspects of your workout on the one machine. You won't have to go out and do a cardio workout after wards.

Well this morning I weighed in at 235.8 lb. So I am doing good and hopefully soon will hit that 10 lb lost mark. Hopefully in the next week or two. *crosses fingers* I have to say that having this journal keeps me on track. It is almost like and accountability group. And I just wanted to say thank you to all of you out there who are reading this. I have wonderful support from my family of Herbalife uplines - but I don't really have anyone who is losing weight with me at this time. I also am not getting support for my choice of how I am losing weight from anyone on my side of the family. My mother-in-law was my first customer and became a distributor and went on to lost 35 lb since last March. My hubby supports me because he has tried the products and had results. But my mom and stepmom both looked at me like I was nuts when they saw my shake and the supplements I take with it.

Ok question time - how many of you feel that having people going through the weight loss journey with you helps you to stay on track? Does it help more to have someone there just as support or who is actually losing weight with you?
