I have lost almost all I want to over the course of this year. I was fat and dumpy from too much sitting in front of the computer while I was getting my psy. degree. It is great to be almost where I want to be. Really great, I celebrate that.

I am surprised when I read your postings - do you really expect to lose weight just by listening to a PL? Well either you have the wrong end of the stick or I do. I see PLs as a tool for speeding things up, for clearing out old patterns that don't serve us well, not as a miracle cure for obesity.

Just as I drove home from work today (=synchronicity), I listened to Napoleon Hill's recordings based on his "Think and grow rich" book. In it he said: 1) first you need a PURPOSE (lets say to lose a specific amount of weight each week); 2) second you need a PLAN (mine is to eat my way through as much greens and fruits as I want plus I eat a fist-sized piece of protein at each meal (boosts the metabolism and keeps hunger away) and keep any fats to a minimum. 3) Hill says TAKE ACTION (my action consists of walking for an hour each day or as often as I can.) I can promise you that this works. Now add your PL and you'll shed weight joyfully.

Looking forward to hear how you get on Cindy. PL may help us lose the 'brain fat' i.e. faulty programs, but the body needs TLC too in the form of good, healthy food and avoiding all the processed stuff. Good luck.
