Topic: RE: GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on reaching your goal!! I'm so close but am afraid I'm not going to reach it! Like you, I've began to eat "bad" again. My daughter got married 2 weeks ago and we have all this "junK' around (cake, cookies, candy, etc....) I know I just need to throw it away. I have "donated" a lot to the office coffee table and candy bowls. Hopefully it will be gone soon. Anyway, I was 3 lbs from goal and then....gained 4 lbs back. I'm rather bummed about that! Although I have lost from 247 to 142--nothing to sneeze at. My family & co-workers are also saying "don't lose anymore".....how do we stop?? I want to reach goal just to say I did. I'm at 142 now and need to get to 135 (my goal)....125 (Dr's goal but too low for me).
I've also been looking at plastics. I love the weight loss---size 10 also--but do hate the saggy/baggy look! Tummy--breasts--arms. Not much under the chin but there is a bit. Have you looked at a body lift? That is what I'm thinking about; with breast implants (can anybody say "deflated balloons??")
I take my vitamins everyday but just can't seem to get in enough water or protein. How do you do it? What about exercise?
Topic: I am almost 7 months...
I am almost 7 months out now and have lost 97 lbs. No real problem until now which I am wondering if anyone else has this problem. Recently I have lots of gas which can be very embarrassing. Has anyone found an answer to this, or is there a magic pill that one can take. Really need help with this problem.
Topic: RE: Plateau!!!
I have finally hit a big plateau - bigger than normal. I had been stuck at 227 for quite some time, now down to 225. I had slacked off with watching my carbs and exercising. Now I am back to doing what I was before, watching and counting everything that goes into my mouth. At my 6 mo check up Dr. said I really need to exercise more. I made a new committment to myself to work out everyday either cardio or strength. I have membership to not one, but 2 gyms (because of my girls playing sports) and On Demand. So I am going to see what happens in the next 2 weeks (by 10/31). I have another Dr.'s appointment in December and I want to be under 200 when I go.
Topic: GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys! Just wanted to check in! I have officially hit my goal and now weigh 150 lbs and am wearing a size 10. That's right - a freakin' size 10. Who would have EVER EVER thought! - Starting at 284.5 and a size 24 - NOT ME! But goodness knows I am thankful!
The family keeps telling me to stop losing. Worried about my health. Monitoring what I eat everyday. I find myself eating BAD stuff again (chocolate) just to ensure I don't lose more weight. What a mind screw!!! - - - First I can't lose weight no matter what I do - then I'm losing weight and am happy, now I have to worry about losing too much???? WTH??? Weird how it all works.
I am happy with my size, but now comes the desire for plastic surgery to get rid of all this excess skin! I hate that my breast now look like oranges in a tube sock. I wish my tummy didn't hang quite like it does. Don't get me wrong - it is a happy alternative to being 285 lbs and hating my life and my body and many days myself. If I NEVER get surgery for the skin I am pleased.
Have any of you started considering plastics? What are your thoughts? concerns? Money is a big one for me - but a supportive partner makes it more reasonable to consider. I want to love my body- I am happy with it - but not yet "in love".
I miss you guys! Tell me what is up with you! Everyone taking care? eating? drinking? taking the vitamins?
Hugs and Kisses to you all my sistahs and brothers!

Topic: RE: Plateau!!!
Sorry for delay in answer, I was out of town. Yes it did work. I lost 2 lbs. the first two days. The best thing was it seemed to help break my craving for carbs. I was eating 100 grams a day which my Nutritionist said was reasonable. I think it was just too much for me at this time. I'm going to cut it to 50. My weekend was a 4 day excursion to North Carolina for a HUGE family reunion. I was fairly good but I'm just not fretting over it. Today I got back on track. Give the 5 Day a try, I think it is a good thing.
Topic: RE: Plateau!!!
Hey Debra - so... did you do the 5 day pouch thing? Did it help? Let me know - I would be willing to try it too.
Topic: RE: Updates Please
Hi this is the first time I've posted here I think....
Starting weight 326 lbs.
Current weight 221 lbs.
Goal weight.......134 lbs.....hopefully.
I've been on a plateau lately I think. I've been losing and gaining about 4-5 lbs. the last month.
