sounds to me like you're right on track. Just keep working your tool. You're doing fine.
Have you incorporated any exercise in yet? How many calories are you getting per day? Keep going :-)

Topic: RE: ARM TONING....HELP!!
The only thing that's helping me is 3/4 length sleeves. HA. Seriously, I'm using 3 lb weights and I even bought some expensive skin firming cream. It's not working. I actually had someone STARE at my saggy arms the whole time she was talking to me the other day. I can just picture those people who always have something to say about my weight switching to talking about my saggy skin. There's always somebody trying to keep us feeling bad about ourselves. But I'm not having it. I promised myself going in that I wouldn't sweat the saggy skin. I'm 46, so my skin has been stretched out for a long time and has no elasticity. Yes, I currently look like the saggy baggy elephant, but I'm so much more healthy than I was when I was fatter and firmer and for me that's what it's all about.

Hello!
I am down 71 since surgery and 100+ since last fall. I am having to buy new clothes all the time...darn. I love shopping now! I look like I am melting! I stick to high protien foods 85% of the time. I do enjoy most everything else, but in small doses. As long as I am meeting my protein goals then I am happy! I am trying to shoot for the 2:1 ratio with carbs.

Topic: I feel almost lost??
So in a way i feel a little lost in a cycle of pills, protien and water then at the end of the day it hits me that still haven't seem to have gotten everything in ugh. Oh well.
This morning i weighed in at 252 which i have been sort of stuck at for a week and a half or so. Had my 3 month check this week and the dr said i was doing good. I specifically asked my nut about breads, pastas and rice and told her i have only tired whole wheat pasta and low carb whole wheat tortillas and done fine. I wanted to know because some have a fear of these foods and i wanted her opinion she said our bodies need a certain amount of carbs but the good kind and a small portion so i felt relieved. I don't think I can go the rest of my life and never eat these things and i feel better now about it and know I just need to watch my portions and eat the healthy kind and of course protein first always.
Ok on to my next thing I am so stuck in the clothes department. I started in a 4X shirt and a 26/28 pants i finally shrank out of all of those and i went shopping and my sizes are all so wierd i have 1 shirt in a 18 and 2 in 22 then i have shorts in a 18 and one pr of pants even in a 16/18 and capris in 22 and one pr of jeans in a 20 wierd it is almost harder now to shop i have to try it all on lol. I went to my clothing exchange at my clinic and it was so a JOKE i took in about $600 worth of clothes and came out with noting feel a little jipped. I am suppose to go to a ladies house tomorrow and look thru her clothes i pray hard i find something i have NO winter things at all and hate spending money on them the shorts i bought last month are to big now oh well rather to big tha to small like they use to be right. Money is so tight right now my hubs might be medically retiring from the military and starting a new job which will be a tough go for a while so no extra extravagence for now. Oh and my one friend i know here is leaving I don't know anyone else BLAH! Oh well.
Thanks for letting me blab on and on love the JULYERS!

I've been too busy to even lurk but that should be changing now that some events are behind me.
I am down 63 lbs overall. I feel wonderful!
I eat about 1 cup at a time and I eat whatever I want. I do restrict my bread because it sits so heavy in my stomach.
I just spent a few weeks hoovering around the 195 lb mark but I seem to be losing again.
I am growing out of my size 18s. I do have a couple of 16s but I think they may be mis-marked. Anyway, I just feel so much better I really don't care what the size label says!
I try to be as active as I can but have not gotten into the habit of regular exercise.
