Though it has taken me four long months to lose 25 pounds, I am still committed to doing what it takes to keep on keepin' on. When I started this latest quest back at the end of June, I thought I would be further along by now. My original goal sheet (at 2 lbs a week) would have put me at a loss of 34 pounds by now. But, the upside of all of this is: I HAVE LOST 25 POUNDS.
In my past endeavors at losing, I would have given up weeks ago. I would have told myself that I just couldn't do it and that I really didn't mind being fat (yeah, right).
But, today, I have to give some credit where credit is due. I discovered this website around the end of July and all the support and comraderie I find here has been just what I have needed to stick to it. And more recently, reading the Beck Diet Solution is helping me get my head where it needs to be. And last, but certainly not least, I have a BEST FRIEND (she knows who she is) who has been beside me every step of this journey. Without her, I probably wouldn't have lasted a week.
So there. Thanks to everyone! Let's stick to it!

Nice Blog!
Yea my Beck book is from the library too, they'll just have to re-check it out to me, won't they. Its so good for me, I may have to do the 6-week plan for 12 weeks, do it all twice. I just found EP at the end of July as well! Funny. Have you seen the girl named "Hey Alexia" she lost like 100 pounds in a year. EP blogging is so much better than weight watchers meetings, better than anything I've ever done to try to lose weight. Im with ya!! Lets keep going!!
25 pounds is amazing! Almost a quarter of the way there...can you ever imagine going back to how you were? I sure hope not! Keep up the amazing work. I totally agree on how EP has helped. I don't think i would be as far as i am without this site.
I ordered the Beck book - it should be here tomorrow...i am excited...so many EPers have said so many good things about it.

Yes!
I agree with everything you posted. I also hoped for faster weight loss, but we're doing great as long as we keep going! The Beck book has been helpful. I may do like Emi though and start all over after I'm done! Whatever it takes to get everything through this thick head, right?! This site has been such an invaluable support for me. I think many times I would have quit if it weren't for all of the wonderful people here offering advice and encouragement. It's such a great place! So, yeah, let's stay in this for the long haul!
