Be careful with the salt. It can make you retain water.

Hi 8/3'ers, I have lost 117 pounds! Woo hoo....down from 2x-3x to a L/Xl in shirts and a 22 pants to 14-16, L pants. It would be much smaller if I could just afford a tummy tuck! I am having trouble with old eating habits as well, which scares me to death. I can tolerate most anything, except that I don't eat sugar.....too scared to try! The scale moves slowly but steadily so I have no complaints! Susan 296/179/160

Tracey, Congrats on the weight losss you must be feeling great. I am sorry you are going to have to have surgery but know it will not be as bad as when you had all the extra weight and had surgery. I am down ove 140 pounds since surgery and 155 from my highest weight. I also have to have surgery but for a hernia the doctor discovered when doing my gastric-bypass. I was hoping to loss all my weight prior to needing this surgery but no such luck. I am 30 pounds from my surgeons goal and 40 pounds from my goal but know I will hit it. I have had no complications from this and know except for my kids the best thing I have ever done in my life. Best of luck on your surgery and congrats on the weight loss. Ginny 340/198/160

Donna - you are singing my song, girl! I hit a plateau at 6 months and was on it until last week. I went on a strict low carb diet. If it's not protein or veggies, it doesn't go into my mouth! I lost 6 lbs. last week. Of course, I did hit the treadmill a little harder, and the results were definitely worth it. I'm back smiling again. Give it a try! Foxy Baby Diva 240/191
