Maritza, Let me be the first to say WAY TO GO!!! I am proud of you. I too am pleased with my progress. Yesterday was 7 months out and I am now at 132! I only have 11 more pounds until goal! My starting weight before surgery was 272 so I have lost 140. The catch is, I've only lost 84 since surgery but like my Dr. said, That's pretty darned good. Hasn't your life changed so much? I am so glad to have done this. Hannah

Topic: RE: Bad Habits Return for the Holidays!
I, too, tested the limits during the holidays. I found that I could eat a lot of my favorite treats in small amounts. But you know what----this is the first year that I didn't gain 10-15 pounds during the holiday season. I made my usual fudge recipies, then I sent a 3 pound margarine bowl full of fudge home with each of adult child for their families to enjoy. Now that the holidays are over, just don't bring the junk into your house. If it's not there, you can't eat it. You will get those remaining pounds off.

Topic: RE: 7 months check in
Congratulations! I still have a way to go to be at goal but I would imagine that once your calories/activities are in balance you will stop losing when you want to. If you have problems, consult your nutritionist for strategies to stop losing when you have reached goal.

Topic: RE: What is going on?
Jamie, I know it is frustrating when the weight is not coming off as fast as you would like. Look at how far you have come---you have already lost more than 1/2 of your excess weight in 7 months. Plateaus are inevitable; they happen on any weight loss program. Your body needs time to catch up to what you have already lost. Don't despair. Follow the basic rules: 64 oz water daily, 50-60 grams of protein daily, exercise regularly. Stay off the scales and only weigh once a week. Take your measurements once a month to see if you are losing inches even though the scale may not be moving. Make sure you are getting enough calories every day so your body does not go into starvation mode and hang on to the excess fat. If in doubt about how much you should be eating, consult your nutritionist.
