Topic: RE: STATS?
You know it is interesting. I did the same thing Elisa did a few months back. I got excited about being 178 pounds for like two days, then went back up to 184. My weight has settled in between 184-186 on any given day, for the past few months actually. I'm fine with that. I remember where I was a year ago. We have come a long way. I sometimes envy people who are 140, etc. however, I hear on a regular basis that I look healthy, and that is what is important. People have commented that my face and body don't have the gaunt look that happens to some. I have decided to embrace where I am now. My goal originally was to lose 100 pounds which would have been 169-173 depending on when I started counting,lol, then it was to make it to 180, or a size 14, and I did. Well, I'm a size 12, and have been for awhile, with occasional size 10 stretch jeans, lol, which is more than I thought was possible. I can eat almost anything, as long as I don't eat too much or too fast. That is what I needed all along, better eating habits. The number on the scale, or size of the jeans is not what determines our success, our quality of life does. I went from 13 meds daily, including insulin, to no meds, and healthy normal labs. Amazing! I am so grateful to be here at this place, my goal without ever realizing it, was to be as close to a normal weight and health as I could, and I have achieved that...finally. Thanks for helping me get there with all of your support and insight.

Hey guys!
The board sure has been quiet lately. I hope someone reads this...
I just want to say that I have been feeling bad lately. I feel like I've lost all control. I've gone back to eating bad. I don't dump so basically nothing (other than I can't eat much of it) keeps me from eating those horrible foods. Sure it's small portions but why am I choosing to eat those things instead of healthier foods with protein? I just feel like . I know my problem but how do I fix it? How do I get back on track? I seem to be at a point where I feel I've lost enough and have subconsciously given myself "permission" to just eat what I like. But I haven't lost enough . I'm not a size 10 or 12. I'm still overweight. I went up like 6 pounds. Geez...this isn't easy as it was before.

I'm at a stall. Actually...I gained. Just when I thought I had hit the 70s (I WAS at 176) I went back up to 181. I just don't know what to do with myself anymore. I think skipping this month would be okay in my opinion. Thanks GG!

I will send out a regular reminder email when I can get to the other computer.
I wonder if a lot of people are stalling now?
Topic: RE: STATS?
I care but I figured you was busy. If everyone else wants to stop that is fine thought. But it does help me keep track and more accoutable. If that is what you call it. I didnt lose anything again this month, but didnt gain either so that is a plus. Although by my docs scale I lost an additional three pds but by my scale nothing. I usuall bounce around a few pds though so I am choosing not to count it as my scale doesnt show it. Anyway, I way 205 again this month. I have been increasing my walking too. I dont get it. I know calories in verses calories out.
