How easy it is to go over 1000 or even 1200 calories in a day

You are right Holly!! Thanks for pointing out the obvious that I can't see when I am freaking out!! Pre op I would have been looking for more food to eat! And been eating all day long. And it does make sense that eating more would boost the metabolism a bit. Talk to you later!

Stephanie, I agree with Holly. I seem to lose weight on those days that I didn't do so good on calories. Your right it is hard to not go over 1000. I'm right there with ya hon. I had spare ribs for dinner last night.....uhhhg....lol. Oh well today was a better day and I actually did finally go to 179....yippppeeee goodby 180's. Anna

Anna - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You're doing awesome!!! Holly

Thanks Anna!But those spare ribs are sooooo good!!! LOL And way to go on reaching 179!!!! Keep up the good work!
