Topic: RE: questions for fellow Febs
I go to the doctor on 08/16 and will find out about the blood work. I am not that good at taking the vitamins so suspect that it may be an issue. Normal day of food:
B: chees and yogurt
S: pretzels
L: soup or chili with crackers
D: meat and veggies
I usually have fruit every day also and popcorn in the evening. Sarah
Topic: RE: Got a great compliment today
Wow Tamela - 10's and 12's already (good for you)
Stephanie - congratulations on the compliment. I have found out a couple things since my weight loss. The folks who care about me as a person encourage me and congratulate me but also say "I guess I did not realize that your weight was such a problem" I then show them the before picture (74 pounds ago) and they go "wow, I did not even notice this before" This means that they see me as a person not as a heavy person. Those who make a big deal about my weight loss see the outside of me instead of who I am. I know this IS convaluted, but I guess I want more from my friends and relatives than how I look. I am struggling with the attention from the weight loss (CAN YOU TELL). I feel good when I receive a compliment such as you did at the salon, but also feel uncomfortable with the whole issue. I hope to hear from others about their feelings regarding the issue. Sarah

Congratulations!!! Its nice to hear compliments, especially from people who may not know you had the surgery. I feel like all the people who know I had the surgery talk about my weight loss all the time and how good I look, but when someone who I havent see in awhile and doesnt know I had the surgery says something, its feels great!
Keep up the good work! and Congrats on joining the Century Club!

Kelly S Topic: 5 Month Pic on Profile!
I have finally taken a moment to add an updated pic to my profile 
. My 5 month pic is now on there, I was getting ready to go to Tonya and James' wedding and was down 78lbs in that photo. My husband has been taking photos of me ever month front, back and side shots and it really has helped me to see what everyone else can! That I am slowly shrinking! Every month I doubt I look any different, but the pics dont lie and they motivate me.

Kelly S Topic: RE: What the heck???
Hi Sharon, I agree with all of the comments so far. I also feel hungry at meal time. In the past I would have eaten your daily food intake at one sitting. I think if we eat the best we can and continue toward goal we are doing ok. I have started drinking coffee again which seems to have slowed my weight loss (74 pounds so far). I have kicked up the exercise to one hour instead of 45 minutes and plan to drink coffee 3-4 days a week instead of 7. I go see my doctor for 6 month check up on 08/16 and hope to be in the 180's. Have a great day and keep asking the questions as we all are asking and thinking similar things. Sarah
