Yep, I'm going through the same thing. I have lost 110 pounds and am wearing a 10/12 (I'm 5'7") and people don't recognize me, but it's only been recently that I FEEL physically smaller. It's scary, if you ask me. I am also very afraid of regaining the weight as fast as I lost it like I did every other time I lost weight. I have about 20 pounds to get to my doc's goal, but even he asked if I wanted to lose more. And no, I can't believe that it's been almost a year!! Marian 282/170

Everyone is doing sooo well. I feel bad that I havent been doing anything to lose any weight. And I have not lost. Starting weight...218 June 9th 2004 was my date current weight...142 a loss of 76 lbs. I am 5'3 And I have no motivation what so ever. I have gone from a size 20-22 to a 6-8 That in itself is a superior ...major...awsome testimony!!!! But I would like to see myself below 140 if only for a moment. I had gotten to 138 and the next week...back to 140...then 142. I have discovered chips and apple pies from mcDonalds...they do not make me dump. Why....Why would I go back to eating all the crap that got me fat in the first place???? Is anyone else going thru this? I do not want to gain....I want to lose. I feel okay ...and I look good. My family says not to lose anymore. I still see the fat girl in the mirror. I know its a mind game...so ...why am I afraid to be thin???? Someone please respond!!!!!!!!!! Thanks

I just broke a 5-6 week plateau which was partly due to the things you mentioned. I am making myself exercise 3-5 days a week (walking) and I am logging all my food on fitday.com. It keeps me on track. Protien shake first thing in the morning (ok, after my coffee) I really like (1/2 can) Dennison's 99% FF Beef Chili (20 g protien!) Snacks: string Cheese CarbWell (cereal) Bar Tsp PB SF Popsicles Tons of Crystal Light! Had to cut out the breads & carbs & 1-2 bites of whatever the kids had. They were adding up.
