Hi - just as Laura said, up your protein and you'll find the weight coming off. ALso, if possible, increase your exercise. The two combined will definately make the difference.

Have you tried upping your protein? That works for me. I'm still losing steadily.

The two biggest sellers in any bookstore are the cookbooks and the diet books. The cookbooks tell you how to prepare the food, and the diet books tell you how not to eat any of it!

Congrats! You're doing AWESOME!
Fortunately, I don't have any hanging skin, etc. so I don't need plastic.........What a blessing! On another note, I wish I had kept better records of monthly weight loss as you did....I think I missed a couplle of months record keeping but otherwise, all is well.

Hi - why are you mad? You've lost over 100 pounds - talk about MAJOR accomplishment...Keep up the good work. I'm down 84 lbs and 8 lbs under my goal.
I eat protein, protein, protein and drink lots of water and diet iced tea...Sometimes I still need the lift me up (caffein) so I might do 1/2 and 1/2....I work long hours so I have to make sure I get in my meals - which is extremely difficult so I use protein shakes when I can't sit down and eat a normal meal.
Great snacks include cheese, turkey (deli meat) with ww crackers -- fresh fruit, peanut butter crackers....
Good luck and keep us posted, okay?

Oh, yes, and I've already had a consult with a plastic surgeon. I'm getting my arms done and lipo in my thighs in December. Then I have to find the financing to hopefully get my lower body lift in June!! My boobs will have to wait until later...lol.

At surgery, I weighed somewhere between 323-321. I did not get weighed that day. 12 months later I weigh 160 (a loss of 163 lbs). I hope to lose another 20 lbs.
Is everyone starting to think about plastic surgery?
