Have not posted in a while.

Well 1st off i want to congrtulate all who have enters the Century club. I too made that goal earlier this month. I was 157 on my surgery date and as of today I am 152. I am just so thrilled to peices. I have not felt or looked this good for ages. I am a size 10. Which is totally awesome. I am a big girl and I carry my weight all over. All my co-workers keep asking me to stop, but my personal goal is 140-150. I wan to be able to stay within that range. Now I have been having some concerns, like I get the munchies at night after dinner. I try to munch on healthy stuff,health choice fudge pops and their rasberry and cream pops. I also have to keep reminding myself to drink my water. That will take the edge off the craving. I do not like this craving stuff. I want ot be rid of it. Now this morning Hubby treated me to breakfast. We went to IHOP and I had 2 harvest grain and nut pancakes, I did put a smidge of butter pecan syrup, and honestly a smidge, they were kind of dry (and believe me it was a total treat because I usually have a shake for breakfast. They were yummy. About 30 min later I really did not feel so great. I am afraid that I had dumping syndrome. I had the hot and cold sweats and my adbomen was all crampy. I got home real fast and I was starting to regergitate, but nothing was coming up except the foamies. I crawled in to bed and there I stayed until it passed which was about 2 hrs. I have to say that, that was the 1st time I had that happen. Won't d that again. lol Oh BTW that photo of me is awful I have sent a new one to the web team to have them put the new one up. I am sorry for the long post but I just needed to share. Thanks Peace n Light Chris 257/152/140

Hi Chris, Congratulations on the weight loss. I was 256 and am currently sitting at 152 so guess we're about the same. I am also getting the munchies at night and am trying to drink more and usually eat a little grahm cracker or soy crisps to help. I'm not so happy about the increased appetite that I'm experiencing. I've never tried sugar and don't want to as I'm scared that I'll love it. I go out to eat breakfast often but elect to have eggs with cheese, and really enjoy it. Sounds like you had dumping from the sugar, try asking for sf syrup or take it with you. I know that some places have it and some don't. Cracker barrell has sf jelly and it's really good. Take care, Syndi

Oh Chris, you are soooo NOT alone in the night time munchies! I crave carbs at night the most! It is insane! So I try and have popcorn or some sort of protein like a cheese stick or a protein shake (made up like an ice cream shake with a few scoops of low carb ice cream) and that usually does it for me!
