I just got back from walking 3 miles .. feel great ! Here is my day in a nutty shell.. B- Nectar 9:30 snack - Yogurt - Lite 85 Strawberry L - Tried one of those South Beach Diet meals .. Yuk .. double Yuk .. they where loaded with so much sodium I was scared to eat it all . 1300 grams .. You gotta watch the salt too . ( going to post later on this ) D-Fillet with greenbeans and some red potatoes .. I have not eaten yet but it is cookin . Another Nectar before bed . And maybe a healthy cheesy snack .

Hmmm lets see what this looks like typed in, lol. I think I did really bad. B- 1 pkg maple brown sugar oatmeal L- S/f peanut butter and jelly sandwich S- 1 banana with a carbcountdown strawberry yogurt D- OK I let my self control go here. I know it is bad. I had 8 jalepeno poppers, the cream cheese filled ones. I am going to have a protein drink later this evening. Well now I see how horrible I did today, dont shoot me please. I will do better tomorrow- Melissa

Hi Betty, Congrats, you have done wonderful! I know it is hard not to compare youself to others, but it can/will make you crazy. You have been hold for a few months now so it does sound like a definite "stall", but that doesn't mean it's forever. Have you called your Dr/nutritionist? They may ask you things, we wouldn't think of that would uncover the reason for your stall. I think the pat around here answer would be "up the protein & water"... but you have said you have done that. Sorry I don't have any better suggestions! Wishing you continued success. Pam

Laura, Why do you think you will never get to a normal bMI or otherwise? You will get there!!! I know you will, just keep working at it. Make sure you eat 3 meals a day (2-3 oz of protein, with a veggie, and a fruit if possible) at each meal, and try to get in 1 protein snack a day. Exercise at least 30 minutes (walking is best, and now it's getting nice outside). You do not have to kill yourself, just move and the weight will come off. I still have another 10 pounds to go to get into that normal window BMI, and have 18 pounds to my doctor's goal. I know that the weight loss is very slow now, but I am not going to get discouraged, I am going to work my BUTT off!!! I am using my tool as best I can. I want to be normal, some day, and my doctor says by July I should be able to get there. I think you can get to your goal, or close to it by August or so if you really work at it, not binge at all, and no junk food. Keep the carbs away!!! Try to get a better attitude, it can help you! Trust me. Tricia

Aww Robins sweetie, I hope you start to feel better soon.- Melissa
