i was really trying and only lost 17 pounds in the first 5 months- but then another 28 pounds the follwowing 3 months!! focus on the BIG picture. its working- 13 pounds off right?! hang in there. our bodies are fickle things; if you stick with it, that metabolism switch will flip!! i will also mention you do need to slow down eating your dinner, "shoving down your throat" is never a good thing!!

i agree you need a fill. i went from 5.5 cc to 6 and the difference was amazing. it will be tough at first, but put you on track for the next (lower) level. <BR>

i say no fill for now. it will be a good test to see if you can indulge with moderation. you can have what you want, just not to excess. I think breaking even after the trip is a win. if you go crazy, you will know you have much more psychological work to do. either way- best of luck and have a safe trip.
