Amy, You are doing fine. I would definitely track your inches. I take my measurements once a month when I weigh myself. Don't get frustrated and you will shed that 46 lbs sooner than you think if you keep exercising and watching your diet. I have a friend that is over 2 years out, she is still loosing and although she has lost 200 lbs she has not met her goal but she is determined and I think that is what you need a little determination, positive reinforcement, and support from us. You will be fine. Try not to worry. Lori 258/147/148...140

You look fabulous!!! The comparison between old and new is amazing. You could easily pass for late 20's. Isn't it amazing how when you lose weight you "lose" years too! You have to feel great! Dawn

Dianne, I know what you mean about the confidence thing. If someone notices my weight loss, I blush...if they say I'm getting skinny I blush and go na-ah! Soooo, I've been trying to just say thank you. Even if I don't believe it or am blushing. I say, yes I am losing weight, thank you for noticing. I'm surprised at how this exercise has helped my with my self acceptance. Good luck you to friend! Rachel

Lunch was not so healthy. 1/2 a Frescatta Ham sandwhich & 1/2 the fries from Wendy's. I'm suffering with PMS, so I gave in to some of the fries. S - will be nothing...too full from lunch. about done with the crystal lite for today, 64 oz!

I am sucking wind....badly! I have been grazing, but am maintaining at 157. Hubby is following my pre-op diet that I was on in an effort to lose some tonnage, and has lost 6 lbs in 2 days...BAS!!RD!!!! He tripped over my favorite scale..the one that weighed the same as the MDs, and the other one weighs heavy, but I am unsure HOW heavy, so I freak everytime I weigh...sigh... Breakfast Coffee Lunch Tilapia..should I be able to eat 4 oz? I do... that scares me.... snack 1 bottle (20 oz) of isopure zerocarb apple melon pre-made dinner something "Mexicanish", prolly taco salads... Janice

I'm still loosing, but I don't know how, because I've been doing terrible half the time. I have been trying to get in more protien. I'm down to 162. I'm feeling like a big skin flap. My face looks old and wrinkled. Someone at my new work asked me if I lost weight and I said, Yes can you notice my wrinkles. I need some confidence. I'm sure the skinny wrinkles look better then 340 pounds of fat. Dianne 340/162/150
