HI Maggie, What a wonderful journey! Congratulations. I too am creeping up on the 1 yr mark and man, how awesome it has been. I can so relate to all that you've said....including the new addiction! Wishing you continued success & happiness Pam RNY 5/13/04 268/157 below goal & maintaining

WOW!!! You are doing amazing. My goal is also 130, and I seem to be stuck at 145 right now. I can't wait to get below 140. Hopefully by next month. I want to get to goal so bad, yet I don't mind having a slow loss right now. I feel great and that's what matters! You're doing something right!! That's for sure Keep it up. Tricia

Hi Angi, Hey, we all have been there. I have just started losing again, after not losing anything since October!! Ughhhhhh!!!!!! Just a couple of suggestions.... Exercise!!!! I have started walking again...a half hour every day...it took about three weeks, but, the pounds started coming off again. Walking is easy...if you like something else better...do it. It really helps! Food!!!! You know, I know, we have all probably been eating stuff we shouldn't. So stop right now. (ha...easier said than done!!!) But, that is sooooooo important. Protein!!!! Get that protein in!! I have been using Beneprotein...2 1/2 scoops a day, since I started walking again. I really think that has helped. Water!!!! Oh, yeah...feel like you are a sponge...and soak up tha****er. Good luck. Maybe, I will reread this, and send it to myself...sounds like good advice!!!!! Jeannie

OOps!! I posted what did you eat monday and baby update instead of saying tuesday, lol. I am so out of it. I just copied what I posted earlier today for tuesday but wrote monday, lol. OK baby is doing great!!! I am due the 13th of November, LOL my poor sons birthday, however I will have my csection probably the 1st week of november. I am having a c section because my first born was emergency c section and it is best to have a c section after a c section instead of vaginal. I was told he wants me to at least gain 20lbs if possible!!!! This means I will be over that horrible 200lb mark again!!!! I am not real happy with this but I will manage, I just pray that I can lose it again. I had 9 vials of blood drawn to make sure I am up to par on all my nutrients being a GBS patient. I will know moreon those results in about a week. He will do this every visit!!! my poor arm, lol. In July he will do another U/S and should be able to tell if it is a boy or a girl, and make me a cd of the U/S to keep. I can email it or play with it on the computer, that should be really neat. Ok now as for my food. Here we go B- protein drink L- wendys jr cheeseburger deluxe with about 5 fries S- protein bar D- left over deer steak from grill and 5 olives Melissa

Hey goofy!! What is today????? NOT MONDAY!!! LOL It is Tuesday and I think everyone thinks you meant Monday. Someone else posted for Tuesday's eating. LOL Of course, all they have to do is look at the date. See, I am here to pick back at you. Loves ya!!!
