Topic: HAS ANYONE ELSE BEEN IN THE SAME BOAT LIKE ME??
I just really been bummed lately. Im 13 months out and the weight is really starting to slow down. (times I feel if I am eating too much) I still have about another 60 lbs to lose. All my blood work came back normal. I am getting in all my protein & water. I still work out at the gym.
My trainer still tells me that I am gaining muscle. But is so hard to tell with the hanging skin. My stomach/arms/ legs skin is loose. But I don't know how much of that is extra weight. I lost about 117 lbs so far. Yes, I know that is a great accomplishment but I feel I should be doing more.
Im trying so hard not to "sympathy" eat. (eating when I feel blue, eating when I'm bored, etc) I really want to win the battle of the fat. I don't want to lose at this. I want to be a winner! I don't want to stretch out my pouch. I came too far to go back to my old ways.
What can I do to get out of this funk? I just feel sad anymore seeing everyone else succeeding and im at a standstill. I know everyone else is different but at times it just don't feel this way.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Hi Lisa - I miss you!!
I just got from Vegas (113). While I was hot outside - it wasn't enough for me to sweat much. Inside, I was freezing int he AC. I also had to use the blanket in bed. I also keep sweaters at work still and never wear shorts to work.

Hi Beverly
When you need surgery, you need it!! My bariatric surgeon actually isn't happy that I'm waiting to have my hernia repaired, it's in a bad spot (incarcerated). Anyway, I'll have it done 8/25 with abdomnialplasty and brachioplasty. If you need the surgery, don't put it off or feel you have to deal with the pain.

Hi Sandy
Just though I would throw in my 2 cents.
I have about 1000 calories a day, but am trying to get them up to 1200-1400. Reason being, I can't really increase and/or intensify my workouts anymore at 800-1000 calories, it's just not enough. If I do, my body won't let go of anything.
I keep my carbs under 20 for a meal and under 50 for the day.
Protein is usually over 100 and always at least 70.

Topic: Honeys I'm Home
I'm back from Vegas and had a wonderful time. I wish you all had been there with me!! I met people from the singles, California, and July 2005 boards.
So here's the deal. I think we should all start saving $5-$10 a week and go on a vacation together next year. Even if it's just for a weekend. What do you guys think?

Lisa-
Sorry to hear that you're still frozen!
Have you had your iron level checked recently? That can also be a symptom of anemia.
Good luck- stay closer to hubby for body heat

Thank you sooooo much, Laurel! I appreciate your feedback. I checked my caloric intake in Fitday (I used to be very good at keeping track) and it appears that I get about 1000 calories a day! As I am still 250#... I guess I need more..... Honestly, I don't have the appetite!
You mentioned exercise... I WISH I could do it... I am in a holding patten now with chronic pain issues, so even getting in the pool is too painful. The good news is that I am scheduled for my knee replacements this fall. The first replacement is Sept. 26th, the second is October 24th! After they are done, i look forward to walking and exercising again!
Thanks again for your suggestions.. I will take heed! And you take those B12 shots! Have a great day!
Sandy
Have a great day!

Lisa,
