Hey Guys, I guess its time for me to report that I finally got in that Century Club and Onederland. Highest Weight: 320 Surgery Weight: 300 Current Weight: 199.5 Surgeon's Goal: 178 My Goal: 169 I wish I were more excited as I've posted on my Virginia Board. I'm still very confused as to why I only lose weight when I get my period and eat like crap. I was in a bad place mentally this weekend and I popped carbs like they were going out of style. I'll take it any way that I can get it, I'm just discouraged. I thank you all for your support, I know it can get a little tedious listening to my whining. We're all doing great, in our own timely manner, and I'll be fine. I've just got a lot going on with my marriage and regular life that this weight loss thing is the least of my worries. I'm still taking care of myself though, so don't think that I won't. I get my vitamins and supplements. I'm still doing my Women's Challenge and walking at least 3 miles a day. I could exercise more and I hope to find my energy back to do so. Thanks again, all. I couldn't do it without you. A

You look great! Congratulations! Just a note on how you might lose weight while 'eating like crap'... have you kept a strict account of the calories you are taking in? I have a sneaking suspicion that your body possibly wants more calories to raise up its metabolic rate. So when you are eating 'crap' its shot up the calories and your body says, "OH THANKS!" and burns off some more of its fat stores. Just a thought.

Thanks, girl. I think you're right, I just wi**** weren't true. Who wants to gamble with eating a lot of crap regularly to keep your weight up. I don't like that idea. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement, it helps a lot! A

Hi Amber, Congratulations. I think it's amazing that you and I have the same SW, CW and goal weight. lol I am trying to be positive but I'm just not losing like I was before. I think I'll be lucky to stay in the 180's-190's. Which is way better than 321lbs.. so I'll take that.. lol Keep it up and once again Congratulations.. Katrina

Congratulations Amber! I think your looking great and just look at how much closer you are to your goal! I've reached a point where the weight loss has slowed greatly. I'm still dropping sizes though. I swear if I would just loose 7 more pounds I'd be the happiest person on earth ... it would put me in Onderland! To think I started at 374 pounds, less than 11 months ago. I can honestly say I would still be OK if I didn't loose anymore, I'm just so much happier and healthier than this time last year. Of course I know this isn't over yet. Jan

Thanks, Jan. You're always a great support. I'm in the same boat as you, I'm happy with me, I just still get discouraged, but I am so better off than I was a year ago, it's working out wonderniffly! Have a great day! A

That's is amazing! How cool is that? How tall are you???? I think I'll be lucky to stay in the 180's as well. I feel so blessed and I love where I'm at, I think I'm starting to settle into it now that I've been at 199 for a couple of days. I just wanted out of the 200's. I get discouraged when people always ask me how much I've lost NOW, like I'm suppose to keep putting up numbers or something. It's all in my head and I'll get past it eventually. I just get discouraged from time to time! I just voice it here more because you guys know what I'm going through for the most part! Keep working at it, we'll both get there! A

Hey Amber, I'm 5'6. I feel the same way, I'm thankful everyday I had surgery. I know it's easy for me to get discouraged when I hear of everyone losing more weight than I have.. ( I know, I know we've been told a million times not to compare ourselves to others) lol Overall I know I'm much healthier now, feel 10 times better than I did a year ago.. You're right, we will get there Katrina
