MY 6 MONTH APPT TODAY...

thanks tiff, you are a sweetheart! i hope you are right, i hoep i can make goal. i am starting to wonder...i am only down 2 lbs so far this month. seems the weight loss is decreasing each month for me now, but i can accept that. i just don't want to be done, ya know? thanks for the support, i am here in FREEZING New York, CHEERING YOU ON AS WELL! hugssssss

Mary Jo, You have done soooooo GREAT! I can hardly wait to get into the 130's! I had the same kind of let down feeling after my appt too. I weighed 168 at my appt and the doc says "You probably will lose 10 pounds and stay there." I was like...NO #*@&! WAY!!! I wanted to get to 125....or at the very least 135. I've been 135 in my adult life - AFTER having four children. That should be doable!! Shouldn't it??? I was so disappointed. But I can't believe that I'm only gonna lose 10 more flippin pounds. My weight is taunting me. I have been bouncing back & forth between 168 and 163 for FOUR WEEKS. I hate that darned scale right now. My nutritionist told me I should be eating 1000-1200 calories a day now. I'm too scared to even try that. I keep thinking about how our pouches stretch over the first two years. I don't want to end up with a huge pouch. I really wanted it to end up at about a cup and stay there. I usually get about 700ish calories a day. Sometimes more....Sometimes less. Oh yea...let me warn you about the colace. I was told to bust them open (a few months back) and mix it in yogurt or applesauce or something. I did that ONE time. That was the meanest nastiest trick anyone ever played on me. If you can swallow the pills....I would do it that way. Anyway, You are kickin butt and I think there's more to come! Go Mary...Go Mary... Pam

hey pam! you know, i think that we both can reach our goals, no matter what the doc says. who knows, maybe when i reach 130 or 125, i will decide that i am happy there. will just have to wait and see! but for now, i am NOT giving up. i started the colace yesterday. i am taking one in the morning and one at night. they didn't say anything about busting them open, so i am just swallowing them. i am glad i didn't try what you tried! i think you are right, there is more to come for both of us... for ALL of us!!! hugssssssss
