Ladies, DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED!!!!! You've done so well and as long as you do what you're supposed to do, your body will do what it's supposed to do -- ON ITS SCHEDULE, but maybe not on yours. NEVER NEVER think of exercise as sabotage; it's really your best friend. I have an idea...why don't we make life style goals and post about our successes in meeting them? Things such as -consume x grams of protein each day -exercise x times per week for x minutes each time -consume less than x grams of carbs per day -stay away from or eat less of [name a new food addiction if you have one like LC cheese is a good choice, but if you eat too many crackers with it, maybe not so good] -only eat carbs along with protein We've already taken the big step to weight loss through surgery. It's the life style that will bring us the big success! You're doing so great!

that's so awesome!

good luck ladies!

Pam - I'm a little worried about making my goal too. I wanted to get to 250 by Thanksgiving. As of last Monday, I'm at 257.5. That left 7.5 pounds in 10 days...which is a bit optimistic. But we are still losing. I've up'd the water, and given up my occaisional ****tail, and trying to increase the protein. But I think I share your attitude. I'm still losing weight and at least now I'm thinking about what is going into my mouth. I was taking advantage of the fact that I was losing to ignore what I was eating. Hang on and press on!
