Well I thought all was going great, well I have been going to the gym now and started doing 3 spinning classes a week and excersicing the other days of the week, so i was also weighing myself at the gym and well it was going down and then up then down. Well I thought I was 197 and so joyful, well in actuallity I went to a friends house and weighed since hers is accurate, and well....... I weighed in at 220 pounds, I feel like im gonna cry and give up all together. Not only am I not even at a hundred pound loss but not even close in my eyes, and have only lost 90 pounds in 6 months. and I know its my fault because I eat sf stuff and think theres no carbs but now i know im wrong and am going to keep track of my food and continue working out, i just pray that even though im at 6 months that i will still lose weight and it wont stop. I may be bloated because my period is coming in a few days ( a wk away)... Can we retain water from to much salt in foods.... Thanks for listening to me whine, but im truly about to give up, that was sooooo depressing. THanks Betty

Hi Gang! I am soooooo excited about a new job offer I recently got! I've accepted a traveling human resources consulting position with a healthcare company. It's an instant HUGE pay raise, but more importantly - it's what I have always wanted to do. I'm just so excited! I can't help but think that a new me, complete with an 80lb weight loss, was responsible for the confidence and assertiveness needed to nab that fantasy job. Now it's time to party! Man I love feeling like this! Take care! Barbie 281/203/170ish (I changed from 150ish - that's too low on me!)

My surgeon has us take two chewable Centrums a day and my bloodwork is great!

Six months out, what are you eating, and how much? I am eating a lot of fruit, and I think it has slowed me down. How is everybody else doing? Allison -100
