I too am a bit frustrated! My weight loss has been somewhat steady over the past year, but for the past 2 months, I have only lost 2.5 lbs. each month. I haven't been able to exercise regularly due to health problems, but it seems like I could lose a little more considering how little I eat!
Congratulations to all of you on your weight loss success. It is indeed quite a journey!
Love,

Topic: RE: Break the INSANITY!
I'm right there with you... but with a kick. I was 180 on June 8th and in July I got down to 175 and then in August I went back to 185 and today I am at 179 after going back to two protein shakes a day. I'm hoping that is the secret. I've been very upset with myself because I know I'm doing it to myself. I was doing so well for so long and the past two months have been hell and I have turned to chocolate and liquor. I know I know.... BAD!!!! I have been wanting chocolate or salt and vinegar potato chips ... how bad is that. I don't have it everytime I want it but I have indulged... but I have indulged more in Martinis, Long Island Iced Teas, White Russians, shots, or wine. I have about two - four glasses when I indulge lately and it isn't every day but it is a couple times a week now where I went months without a thought of a drink. Granted there has been alot of social events lately but I need to get back to just drinking water.
I've noticed a difference this week (I have lost 6 pounds this week after two-three months of nothing) by having two protein shakes a day and drinking water instead of liquor or milk. So perhaps getting back to basics is the key. I do usually eat good food (for meals) but the craving of chocolate isn't going away. I find I can satisfy the craving with one or two hersheys kisses dark chocolate but I do not bite or chew them so they last longer in my mouth.
I'm hoping to be done with the insanity too... I hate feeling I am sabotaging myself and kick myself later for it. Good luck!

Topic: Break the INSANITY!
Hi Everyone
I am wondering if any of you are experiencing what I am now going through-- I am at a TOTAL STANDSTILL now since June 1. I started out on my WL Journey a lightweight weighing in at surgery at 265 lbs at a height of 5'7. I am very frustrated now because I fluctuate between 155 and 153. I am at Dr.'s goal now at 155 and Dr. is comfortable with me staying where I am but I still want to lose about 10 to 15 pounds more. I notice now that some of my old cravings are resurfasing their ugly heads and I try not to give in, but just as before, my vulnerable time is the between 2 and 6 pm. Lately I have been craving dark chocolate and salt. I weigh myself daily only because I do not want to go beyond the 155. I now wear between a size 12 and 14. I am noticing though that even at 155 the size 14 is feeling a bit loose. I thought this was odd because I am not losing any weight. I know I must try to drink more water but at times is very hard. People at work still tell me I look so skinny, even without losing anymore weight. I figured I would ask you all what I can do to break this long plateau of almost 3 months, since alot of you have been there done that. I am going away this weekend for a family wedding out of state so I am hoping that maybe with a change in routine it may be what I need to break the insanity. I even thought of just doing my protein shakes as breakfast and lunch, eating a regular dinner and nothing bu****er in between. What are your thoughts on all this?
Thanks for your help!

Topic: New pictures on my profile
Hi all,
My daughter and sister and I went to Tijuana last week, and I added a few new pics of me and my daughter and my sister to my profile. I can't believe I've gone from 368 to 214 in 11 months!!! I just look so awfully depressed in my "morning of WLS" pic, compared to my Tijuana pics! I am SO happy!
Blessings To You All,
Tonya

Congrats on your weight loss!
I don't know how many calroies you should be eating... I still haven't really started watching that, still mainly counting protein. BUT, I am dizzy quite often actually. I know my iron is good and so is my protein... It isn't just when I stand up either, it can happen lying down too. All I have to do is turn my head a certain way and boom it hits me. I am going to my PCP in a few weeks and I am interested to see if I have something going on in my inner ear even though I don't have any pain. I look forward to hearing what you find out.
Good luck

Topic: Happy..Hungry..Dizzy?
So I am just a couple weeks away from my one year anniversary. I have lost 103 pounds and look/feel great. I am blessed. My question is how many calories should I be eating (5'7"-149lbs)? Surgeon says stay at 1000, but i feel so sick if i don't get at least 1500 or so. My resting BMR is like 1510 anyway...seeing my PCM tomorrow to talk. I just thought i'd ask. Also, does anyone experience dizzy spells when they stand??
Thanks, Katie
