Keeping the carbs under 15 is hard. I like chili and it has 30 grams for 1 cup. Last night I ate some grapes and felt bad. I feel like I can't eat anything. Dianne 340/138

Lori, I just email the volunteer who spruced up my profile if I ever want to add anything, unless I know I can right click on it and copy and paste, then I just do it myself.

to add something..I have noticed that in the mornings if I eat a small cup of cottage cheese..I feel fine thoughout the school day.. I usually try toeat a lot of protein.. but the mornings I have noticed a shakiness are the days I have had 1/2 a bagel.. wow.. see we learn something new every day

Doesn't it feel great!! You should be so proud of yourself! I have been getting "notices" of my husband cheating on me - low and behold he was cheating with ME ... so many people have not see me enough to have followed my changes & thought he was out with another woman, when I ask what outfit she was wearing (and I supply the info) they are like "Yeah, how did you know?!?" and I say "Thant was me silly!" This new body can be so much fun! Sue 320/138

I am going through the same thing....At this point I don't know if I have gained any weight because we are in the process of moving and they packed my scale!! We are moving back to the states and my scale has been gone for 3 weeks. I look at myself in the mirror and put on some of my clothes and they are tight!! I am personally struggling with this. I want to find a scale, but to tell you the truth I am scared of what I might find. I have asked my husband to tell me if he sees any weight gain, but he says it doesn't look like it to him,but of course he sees me everyday. (He didn't even notice that I got to 231 pounds!!) So not much help on that end for me. I know that I am eating more then I did before, but I still eat less all day then some people eat in one meal. Of course after eating so little for over a year it seems that I am pigging out. I do admit that I have had a sweet tooth and can tolerate sweets in a small amount. Of course the other day I ate half of a pop tart and boy did it send me into the dumping syndrome. I was glad to know that was still working, but still worry about what the scale is going to tell. Anyway just wanted to let you know that I too am going through the samething you are......So much fear and anxiety about ever getting fat again is sending me into a tail spin!! Oh I never want to get fat again!!! Once I do find a scale I will let you know how much damage I have done to myself!! Take Care Lori 231/last checked 121....not sure what it is these days
