Hi Angie, I was reading your profile and saw where you are trying out NutriSystem meals to jumpstart your loss again -- how is that working out for you?? -BJ 300/158/150???

hey all, congrats to all who have reached their goals. I have had a few bumps in the road. I got pregnant in may of this year. I had complications and was put on bedrest at 3 mos. I was hospitalized at 5 months and had my baby at 6 mos. When I got pregnant, I started eating more often. Like every hour it seemed like. but i wasn't really eating a lot. I only gained maybe 10 pounds during my pregnancy. Well, I haven't lost anything, but what's really strange is that I went up like 2-3 sizes in my jeans. My clothes were fitting tighter before I ever found out I was pregnant-but, I would think all this extra insulation would go away after I had my son. Also, I have forgotten the rules about eating and drinking, i.e. how long to wait after drinking before eating and so on. A friendly reminder would be greatly appreciated. Also, I could use your prayers for my little boy, as he is having a great amount of difficulties due to his prematurity and surgery. thanks -amber

Tee hee... I was hoping the post was about changing the goal UP, not down I went all the way down to 170, but gained 5 pounds and have been going back and forth with the same 3 pounds (175-178) for like... ever! Totally, absolutely, undoubtedly my fault! I still want to get to 169 as a short-term goal. I want to be just overweight, not obese. So that's what I'm concentrating on... For my long term/final goal I'd set up originally 135-140, but considering that I have been heavy all my life (yes, ALL my life!) I truly believe 150 (and/or a solid size 10-12, whichever comes first) is a much healthier and attainable/maintainable weight for me... but I know I have to be a good girl and do all the right things if I honestly want to get there... But hey... not that you asked, but even at my present size of 12/14, I'm already absolutely thrilled with my healthier life! That's what matters to me most! Angie

I may have to up mine from 150 to 190....Seems more realistic although I would still be obese. I have been at 214-215 for six weeks. I am sure my body is saying if you cut back on calories and did more exercise maybe I would let you get to 190....I am still dreaming for the 150. Its up to me right? Debbie
