I agree i too get alot of information. I try to mix and match what i think is right. but who am i lol. I DO NOT under any cir****tance eat BREAD or RICE! They were my weakness and i just dont do it. I do eat potato's and right now on a kick of sweet potato's. I have cut out pasta cause i think i was out of control with it. I eat my protien first and i try to get in veggies and fruits. Sometimes i think i can eat a whole lot then the next thingi know i cant eat anything. and certain foods fill me up fast like the protien special K i can only eat a lil bi of that and i am stuffed. I do eat snacks if i get to the point were i am starvign i will eat to fast then throw up and i hate that so i do not get to that point. i think for me i am doing what i can and trying to gather information and make it all work for me i think everyone is differant. I have a friend (i do not sujest this and will never get to this point) but she eats snack food all day long 4 years out never gained back and eats like a horse then i had one friend who drank so much and gained all her weight back. so i try to listen and learn we all have dif bodies and we all will lose and keep it off differantly. I think if we just follow the basic rules. 1. protien first 2. drink drink drink WATER 3. watch grazing and $ exercise we will do the best we can! good luck! BUT i am not DR so dont listen to me lol J 571/183/143

Jenn, Im almost 7 months out and i have only lost 87 pounds. YOUR DOING GREAT!!! I think at this point we all slow down and we have to jut be patient. I can not speak for everyone but I know it can be frustrating when we lost so much at first but keep doing what you are doing and you will see in the next 5 months to the year mark you will notice alot more. i have many frined who are many years out and they say just keep doing what your doing it jus comes off slower now. CONGRATS! J 271/183/143

Woohoo! Ya go girl! Keep it up.

Good for you! I have to go in this week and get my six month checkup and labwork done....It does feel good to feel normal. Congratulations! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Sandy, The bike seat used to hurt my bumm too. We bought some cushiony seats and I have re-adjusted myself on them when I ride...so this time it didn't hurt. With less cushion back there, I had to have my husband raise the seat a couple of inches. When the bike fits you better, it's not so bad. I'll see if I can work up to that extra mile....it would be great.
