Topic: RE: Today is Dr day
Thanks Karen and Nancy,
The nut told me to shake it up, I have just a small things of food I eat now and she said my body had got used to it and wasnt losing, to up my calories to 900 a day and add some carbs at least 50 a day. I have gone into starvation mode. Amanda also said I have got to add fruits and veggies I havent been eating those either. So I guess I am going to start back eating and make myself add different things. I have lost 84 pounds now so I am not as bad as I thought. Dr Nighbert was happy with my loss and I dont have to go see him for 6 months.
Thanks again for being here for me and caring. It is so good that we all have each other.
Hugs to you all
Amy
Topic: RE: FINALLY!!Out of Plus Size clothes!!
Congrats! I did the same thing this weekend. I went to Penney's and wanted a red sweater for a dinner this weekend. Went right to the women's sizes and didn't find anything I liked. I was walking through the misses sized clothing thinking to myself.."Gosh..if I could wear misses they have SO many cute things!" just like I've said to myself over and over and over for the past years... then I saw a skirt...size 18 and it looked big! .. I thought..hey, I bet I could wear that..and why not? My 1x clothing and 16W pants are baggy.. so I grabbed a whole bunch of cute stuff...took it into the dressing room and to my shock it all fit!!!! Some better than others, but it still fit and was due to more the "style" than the size! The 18's were even a bit large! I went home and told my husband he better watch out.. a whole new world had just opened up to me!!!! (he knows his wallet will be next!) LOL It's a great feeling.. makes you feel actually human again. So strange not to go straight to the women's section at the stores.. very very very odd.. but wonderful too!
Blessings,
Kim

Topic: RE: skin firming lotions?
I do use Palmer's Coco Butter formula with Vitamin E. And it has nothing to do with the fact that my husband loves the smell of it LOL

Topic: RE: What's on the menu? Tuesday
Hi Karen,
My name is babyface. This is my first time on this web site. How can you drink 100 oz of water? Can you please help me with this. It is very hard for me to even drink 3 cups of water. Good luck with all that baking.

This will be a challenge for me to remember today. My head seems to be in a big fog lately. I forgot my own phone number last week, how embarassing.

S- mandarin, and 2 after eight squares.
L- tuna sandwich (about 3/4)
S-SF chocolate (3 squares)
D-1/2 sausage, 4 perogies, with small amount of bacon bits and light sour cream, 1/2 cup of milk
Exercise- not much yesterday.
Vitamin- good
Water-poor, as usual.

Topic: RE: My best week ever!!!!!!!!
My NUT never gave a guideline *shrug* The NUT that runs my support group said 60g but of course everybody gets a different plan. I see my NUT again for my 6mo f/u so I am going to ask her and see what she says!
Topic: RE: My best week ever!!!!!!!!
Shoot... this far out there would be no way I could get discouraged! After seeing the scale move 1-3lbs every week... or no pounds it was exciting to have one really great week!!! As long as it keeps on moving discouraged will be out of my vocab

Topic: RE: FINALLY!!Out of Plus Size clothes!!
Wooo hooooo you go girl!!! I am still wearing a size 16 pants... but I went into a "normal" store at the mall and could fit in their XL shirts and even some of their Large!!! Lane Bryant 14/16 shirts are waaaaay to big on me now! Its great to not be stuck shopping at a few plus sized stores!!!!!
Topic: RE: skin firming lotions?
Keeping the skin hydrated always helps it... way I figure firming lotions cant hurt. I use Niviea (sp?) lotion... its priced the same as most other lotions... I havent seen any miracles but Ill keep on using it anyways! If it even helps .000000001% thats good enough for me
