Same here Jan....Im in 12's and really happy with that although I know I need to loose more and fear I wont...my scale hardly moves lately... gotta run............God Bless you all! Im so proud of us!

Thanks for replying ladies...sounds like you guys are doing way better at being organized than I am............ I didnt eat well over the holidays and my scale is up 8 pounds...........it freaked me out so my resoluation is to eat enough food every day and EXERCISE...I have been slack on that lately... do you guys get scared this is just a dream? I am able to eat lots more now and I fear that I am messing this up or something...then I have nightmares that I get big again and that this didnt work for me............its scary! But today I went and bought 4 size 12 pants so ITS NOT A DREAM! Happy New Year guys! I pray for your continued success....

good question.... but since we all have different doctors and nutritionalist that have "ordered" our food intake to be of certian foods... it can become a bit confusing. But I am proud to say that what has gone in my mouth seems to be doing ok with my new little stomack, I have consistantly been loosing weight, and my blood work reflect I am doing great! Now for my actual food.... Breakfast: I eat an egg and toast or about 3/4 cup of cherrios with skim milk and a splenda at that time I try to consume my calcium and vit. And I have been having tea, even though I am a coffee drinker, it has not tasted that good to me. Lunch is my Dinner: I have something around meat.. chicken, hamburger sometimes made in a cassarole, I might even cook up a healthy type tv dinner. I eat what ever is served and then pick at the meal for about 1/2 hour or until I am totally full. The rest of my calcuim and vit. Supper: I sometimes have left overs, but more than likely I have soup (lately I enjoy chicken noodle again) or a sandwich with meat and cheese. I had one slice of cheese pizza for Newe Years Eve. Snacks during th day: I have had a cup of popcorn, a cheese stick, protien bar or drink, yogart, sugarfree fudgecycle, and juice. And lots to drink - tea, water, coffee, sugarfree cocoa, sugar free cider, iced tea...etc I probally intake about 800-1000 calories a day and about 80 grams of protien. If I go out I have something on the menu that I think sounds good, and eat a little bit of it and have the left overs for days! thanks for asking! -Pam
