Topic: RE: How's everyone doing?
My daughter might be able to get my bras fastened around her comfortably, but the cups would look deflated! LOL She's a C and I'm still a DD... She weighs about 215 and I'm at 252 right now. I would love to get down in to onederland. Even 199 would make me happy! LOL And I am feeling closer to clothing sizes that start with a one too as I am in 22s now. Who knows. I think it will actually happen! LOL

Are you monitoring what you eat? If not, please consider doing so even for a week or two. It can be very illuminating at times! Sometimes you are not getting enough protein. Sometimes you are not getting enough liquids. Sometimes you are getting too many carbs... You know where you should be but sometimes without writing it down you aren't getting there!

Topic: First post in a long time
i am so happy to have found you guys. I have been awful about updating and have really slipped lately. I am not eating bad things but no exercise and alot of depression. I guess it is poor poor pitiful me mode. What the heck is that about? I feel better than I have in a long time. I am so excited for all of us. Everyone that I ahve read about from around this time seems to be doing well(even if we don't always think we are) It is a daily struggle with mind over matter and I guess it always will be. Good luck to all of you and just wanted to let you know you all were a light this morning in my world. i needed it.

Hi Lea,
I am glad to see your name. It has been while. I am down from a start of 377 to 229. It has slowed a little but that is to be expected. I laughed when I sw your comment about your daughter. I have an 18 year old who was doing laundry and put my clothes in her closet. She wore my bra accidently the other day.....she weighs 159. I too have about 65 lbs to go for my own goal. WE CAN DO IT!. I see the doctor on friday. He is doing my annual check early because he is over 2 hours away.
Keep up the good work. Stay in touch.

Hi Sherryl,
Wow you have done a tremendous job over 150 lbs in less than a year. Great, great job. I am so happy for you. This shopping thing could get addictive. It is funny when I walk by Lane Bryant I still want to walk in and see if they have any good sales, but I realize they don't have one thing that would fit me now.
I see by your profile that you live in Florence, KY, I don't know where Florence is but I have several relatives that live in Pikeville over in Eastern KY. I will be visiting them in August and can't wait to see them all. None of them have seen me since surgery so it will be interesting.
Keep up the good work and congratulations.

That is how I usually feel these days. In order to lose even one or two pounds per week (5 or 6 a month total), I have to religiously watch what I eat and drink. I have to consciously remind myself to drink, drink, drink too.

Topic: RE: How much weight have you lost since Jan 1st??
I started at 370 on 8/23 and this morning was 213. I am not losing much at all any more and it worries me. I would like to be under 200 on my 1 yr mark (8/23) so I need to kick it in gear.
I am trying to eat more and have added my protein shakes back to my daily rountine trying to get enough protein. Liquids are something I still struggle with.

Topic: RE: Weight loss thus far...
Eat dear! Make sure you are getting the protein in. I have foud that if i fall below about 1000 cals a day I will NOT lose at all, even gain some. Now that is depressing! I have been suffering with a major stall for about a month, but I believe I am doing it to myself. I am eating more veggies and fruit because of the warmer weather but they don't have protein in them.
I started adding my protein shakes again today, hopefull they will make the difference again and get me losing..
