You are an inspiration.  I have the motivation down on the exercise but I can't stay away from the bad food and too much of it!  I have my 20 year high school class reunion in August and I would like to drop 10-15 lbs.  I know it can be done but I am a food addict!  I need to go back to the basics I guess.   I will check out daily plate and see how that works out.

that's good to hear.  I did really good getting to the gym and even on Sat. my daughter and her friends and I went to N.Y.C. to look for wedding gowns and they all ate at McDonnalds and I actually went to the metro deli next door and got a turkey on Pita.  That was just a big thing for me. 
Thank you so much for the support.  I need it.

It was really tough for me the first week too, it seemed I was really hungry so soon after I would eat. However, my body did adjust and that stopped eventually. My grandmother used to call it head-hunger. Hang in there, I promise it will get easier!

I can't believe how hungry I am all the time.
even when I eat dense protein I'm hungry right after.  Are you?
It's so depressing.

Good luck to ya ! Im right there with ya too..when my 16's got tight, I panicked! So now Im off the carbs and walking again, and drinking more water. So far its coming off and my clothes are looser. The tool really does still work if we work it. Breaking that carb cycle was hard...

We can do this!! hang in there!

Good for you Koukla for not letting your illnesses knock you down!  The Daily Plate has been a huge lifesaver for me when it came to tracking my calores.  Good luck and keep posting!

Topic: hopefully getting back on track
Hopefully I'm getting back on track.  I actually went to the gym 3 times this week.  I haven't been to the gym regularly since before Christmas..  I've had my thryoid completely removed.  they went in to take out 1/2 because of a goiter on the right side and they ended up taking it all out because of cancer on the left side.  The good side.  so thank God they found it.
Also as soon as I fully recovered from that I came down with pneumonia so that was another 5 weeks of recovering.  The doctor thinks because of the bypass the antibiotics weren't absorbing too well and that's why it took me longer to get better. 
And now I feel good.  KNOCK ON WOOD.  And hopefully I'm back on track.  I'm sore from working out but it's a good sore and I've noticed my eating has been good too.  I guess I figure if i'm going to work out this hard I better not destroy the work.
So this is my update.  I don't want to gain any more weight.  I already gained 35 to 40  pounds and I'm a sausage in my pants but I REFUSE to buy the next size (18).  so  I hope I can keep this up. 
Good luck to all of us trying to maintain.

You can do it Koukla!!!

I am now down 12 lbs in less than 4 weeks.  I have decided to change my goal from 150 to 140, so that means I am wanting to lose 15 more lbs.  If I can keep up the 3 lbs a week, then I should be good to go by July
