Rebecca, we're all so darned proud of you! As you all know, my support system here mainly consists of a 10-year-old and my best friend. So, obviously, I come to my May family for support. This has been an incredible ride for all of us. Honestly, I wouldn't change a minute of it!!!! I mean, I ordered a "normal" Halloween costume this year! I can't wait to try that baby on. LOL And, of course, my May family will see me in it first. LOL Keep up the great work. You look fabulous!!!!! Hugs to you all!!! * Cyndi *

Hey Cam, I'm in the same boat. Obsessed with tracking everything! If I can't find nutrional info, I don't eat it. And sometimes, I'll go hours without eating because I can't find anything decent. It's become a really bad habit and I'm trying to chill. My losses have slowed down big time and I'm trying to kickstart it up again and get to goal already. I find I'm at a point where I need to work for my losses now too. Those first few months the weight just seemed to melt off. I'm eating more these days, not necessarily in one sitting, but I feel hungry more often throughout the day...and I find I can eat when I'm bored again, which I couldn't until recently. It's scary but completely normal. We're eating like normal people now, not by our normal standard before surgery. I had a couple of days of eating over 1000 (like, 1002 and 1011) calories this week and I freaked out. I had to stop eating at 7pm and it was so hard. I wasn't hungry or anything, it's just the old habits coming back to bite me in the butt. :lol

Thanks, Chantal! I couldn't get it any more close up, though. Drove me nuts for an hour...LOL

Nice avatar April!
