I'm up 10 lbs. in the last month. Nothing is working for me anymore. I'm trying desperately to get back on track. What is working for you guys, literally? Not just an idea or a thought - but literally, on a daily basis, if you are meeting with good success in keeping your weight off, what is your strategy, what are you doing that's working?  For all you lurkers out there, this would be a great time to post please! I really need your help, everyone. Maureen

nothing-absolutely nothing-however- i know my pouch is intact cuz it does rear it's head if too much fat or sugars over 5grams-and it does tell me when i get it too full..so it works...but dang it holds a lot!



i am really only up 1 pound-but--that one pound is 30 pounds above where i would like to be-which is 25 pounds above my goal-in other words--i am wanting to be 125 #--tonite at plasma donation i was 181....eeeeeks



i find that i am grazing at work-there is something about sitting at a computer allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day long......

oh-and i cannot afford to do WW unless i do it at home alone-which i think would defeat my purpose-and there are no OA mtgs within 40 miles of me that i have found so far.....

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

go with the weigh****chers.  it offers a real control mechanism.  it's well rounded and healthy.  I think it's the best dietary plan out there.

They ended up cancelling, not enough interest to bring the program to campus. Bummer.

So find a meeting in your area and go.  I'm telling you, it is worth the time and effort.  It really teaches you CONTROL over your portions.  You are held accountable for everything that goes into your face.  It's worth trying, I'm telling you....

Hi Maureen,

I'm no poster child for weight loss to be sure. BUT when I loose weight and keep it off its because I cut out the bad sugar and carbs. By carbs I mean pasta and bread. For me this includes whole wheat breads too and all pasta unless its a tiny bit in soup. All sugar as in candy, crap...you know what i mean. Not fruit. I dont' eat much fruit myself because it makes me hungry. But for me keeping the weight off means moderation, very low sugar and no carbs. Once I can do that I start to loose again and keep it off. Trying not to snack after oh...eight at night. I'm a night time snacker sometimes. Thats the worst. I've been doing better with that though. its so hard for me to loose. but when i do its because I'm cutting out that sugar and carbs and upping my protein and drinking my protein shakes and doing right by the surgery. keep on working at it. Just don't give up. Hang in there! Aside from the M&Ms cut all sugar and carbs. That should really help you. We're here for you!   ((hugs))

hanging in there. little girl cut a bottom tooth. Thankfully she didn't have the temperature. I'm prayiing we're getting out of that stage. She's talkin her baby talk. Her favortie words are uh-oh and wooowww and tinky dipsy lala and po. (the telletubbies) ma ma and da dee and Mattt shes says kitty kat and meows. lol. its sooo cute!!! shes walking now and its such a joy. she just turned 14 months. Matts getting ready for school. he starts the day after labor day. He's not thrilled. lol. of course.

aside from that its work and home. so exciting. 'smile' and then me wishing to get this stupid weight off as usual. I need to take my advise more and cut out the carbs. I did peanuts today when I got hungry. but caved and had a small bag of chips. SUCH A NONO.. sheesh. if i just stuck with the program.... 'sigh' not even gonna finish that thought you know. But like you said... we'll never give up! :)
