what the hell00000000000

Oh honey, I don't hate because I have more to lose. What I do hate is how you are showing SUCH an attitude of ungratefulness. It's passive aggressive at best to come on this board and whine about not being able to lose that last 13 pounds at 5 months out. And to openly admit that you did it by not eating properly, and sometimes eating too much until you are sick- I HAD to say something so that anyone new here reading would know not to follow in your footsteps because it's a very dangerous path you're on. You're not using your tool properly, and I sure hope you don't gain back all your weight again. I, personally, am thrilled with my 65 pound loss- I have 40 or so to go- and I am GLAD that I am losing at a more moderate pace. I follow the guidelines of my surgeon and have really learned about my new anatomy because I don't ever want to gain the weight back again. I read about your boyfriend leaving you, and your hoping that he will come back once he sees how "hot" you look. If that's the only thing holding him back, then he's not the right guy for you. There's a saying- "Looks aren't everything" that is so very, very true. It's not often I feel the need to speak so bluntly as I have to you. But sometimes I really feel it is needed to get through. I thought about it long and hard before I hit that reply button. And I guess I must have hit a nerve too, after seeing your response. Maybe that will push you to get the help you so badly need. Good luck. Honey.

Congratulations on the 100 pound loss. If you read the message boards a lot you'll see stalls are common, sometimes lasting a month or more. The most common way to successfully break through appears to be upping calorie levels to 1000 or 1100 or so and upping water and excercise levels. Since you are ahead of most of us here on the July 2005 board - we aren't the best ones to ask. Most of us would like to be where you are. Instead use the main message board to post your question, or I suggest reading a variety of messages on the main board, or going to the Q&A Library on OH at http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/information/lookup.php and enter the word "plateau" -Pam

Im sorry but this is a downright shame that Amy Jo even trusted in such a place (thanks to a very rude poster) to even come to this board, Amy, if I was you, I would turn from this board and never look back!!! Why would you, so you can continue to be made fun of, or be called names??? WTF is this Sh*t!! I have never seen such BS in my life. Im sorry this ****** me off, I'd never come back Amy, no matter what excuse is given the lady is in the wrong. No validating her what-so-ever here!!! I thought we was here to support? Guess I was wrong when I read a post such as I just did. ThiS is Just rediculous..... NO FREAKIN EXCUSES WHATSOEVER!!!!! Later!!! Geesh, Im glad not a July baby... good god, I'd be crying by now...

Now this is much better and is what support is all about, thank you for pulling the negative posts. -Jessica
