Monday again...your date with the scale Current: 153 Loss this wk: -2 Loss thus far: 102 What's a quick, convenient (or not) meal/snack that you discovered or live off of? or, food you order at a fast food / restaurant that you love now that you're 8months out ? Do share Mine: I'm a taco bell junkie...lol. I can have 1.5-2 crunchy tacos and that's thanksgiving dinner feeling for me (usually leave a few bites behind, if I catch myself to avoid getting too full); yoshinoya chicken bowl, very little rice; sashimi or the sushi rolls where the fresh fish sits on a lump of rice -- don't know the name (or have a sushi roll and take the layer of rice); hot and sour soup! lol...miso soup, but definitely my crunchy taco from taco bell. Just discovered Wendy's chili (smal size, no finger joke please! lol) and like that too... Bye! norma. 255/153/138

Hi Steph, I know what you mean. I am not at risk of that yet, but I was also a "lightweight" (every time I write that word I laugh...some lightweight I was! LOL) going in, so the possibility of us losing too much is quite real. I have lost 101 lbs in eight months. I am currently at 131 lbs and am 5'3. I want to reach 128 but my dietcian wants me to stop now. However, I think I have dropped more since I saw her last week, in fact I am certain. What she told me to do to maintain, is to increase your carbs and fats. She said a little butter on toast, adding nuts to my diet, making sure I get a starch in at every meal (eat it last), etc. She said we would go from there...re-evaluate as necessary. Of course, you should talk to your own dietican or surgeon, as every plan is different and I certainly don't want to give you advice that would be harmful. You must be so tiny!!! How tall are you? Are you still losing rapidly or has it slowed down? Hugs, Denise

Hey there, girl! Marianne, you are just gorgeous. Plain and simple....so, so pretty!!! Congrats on your success, darlin'. You look amazing and you must feel like a million bucks!! I am so happy for you. Aren't you excited that summer is right around the corner and you can wear all the cute stuff? This will be the first summer that I will be of "normal" size and I am so excited!!! Congrats, sweetie. I am thrilled for you. Hugs, Denise

You both look awesome!!! Keep up the good work.

I have 49 until my surgeons goal for me... My personal goal...well...that's a bit more.... anywhere between 75-95 lbs more...not sure where I want to end up, and where I will end up without my plastics... Having a frustrating week...AGAIN...I'm back up 7 lbs, and have no FREAKING clue why!!!! Judy 359/251/258/165-185? -101 (was 108...what's wrong with me)
