I would love to work with you to get to goal by 18 months. I believe that is definitely doable.

"Why cant I get there too?" That's exactly what I'm saying. I know I just have to get past this. And I knew everyone here would step up with the encouragement I need. Thanks
Topic: RE: Sometimes I feel discouraged
I hope it's "just a bump in the road". I've only lost 7 lbs since I last saw the surgeon in November. I have been really conscientious about using the tool to it's fullest, making sure I get my protein and water. I was a little lax about exercise for a few weeks but I've really gotten back on track with that so I just don't know what else to do.

Thank you - I knew I could count on everyone here for encouragement.

Well done!
BTW, where did you go to get the cool changing virtual model (I can't find one that changes like that?)

Toni,
I feel much the same way, I started off much heavier than most people and I feel like I havent lost enough.
I'm about 25 lbs away from my own goal and getting there seems just impossible. I'm a week over being a year out, I was hoping to be at goal too.
WE should work together to reach our goal by 18 months!

Hi Toni,
Boy do I feel in the same place as you. I am one day behind you. I would love to be at goal (140) but my goal was to have lost 100 lbs by my 1 yr date. Then I would work on the rest. I have 7 days to lose 5 pounds. Well its taken 2 to 3 months to lose the last 5 so I dont think it will happen. I see so many other people who had about the same amount of wt to lose as I and the have done it months ago. Why cant I get there too?

I can so relate. I see my surgeon next Thursday the 23rd and I'm so stressed about it. 
I haven't lost any weight in 4 or 5 weeks and I'm am up and down the same 3 lbs. I feel like such a failure. 
I have lost about 118-120 depending on the day and I'm terrified I won't lose any more weight or worse gain it back. My eating is pretty good, so I'm really confused about why things have slowed down so much. I try to eat around 1000 cal a day and get 75+ grams of protein. I drink water and exercise. 
Take care. Let's just hope this is just a bump in the road for us.

Topic: RE: One year tomorrow and a new pic!
I was told today by one of the guard gates here that I needed a new ID. I know I have changed, but I didn't know that they would make me get a new ID so quick. Everything is still messed up here from Hurricane Katrina, so finding the temporary ID place could be a problem but I better do it or else they may not let me on base next time. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!! Looks like you have had great success with your WLS.

Topic: RE: GALLBLADDER.....whining
Can you tell me what the symptoms of a gallbladder attack are? What part of your body hurts? Your back, stomach area, side? I really need an anatomy class, lol.. I have pains sometimes in my lower back and am not sure what is causing it but they seem to be getting worse. Thanks for your help. Best of luck with your surgery this week. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
