B- decaf tea L - tried a Smart Ones - some beef one and it was gross. I maybe ate .5 beef and 1/4 c veggies from it. Ended up eating 1/2 slice banana bread and 3 or 4 potato chips out of my daughter's snack bowl. S - 10 oz skim milk, 2 oz cheddar cheese D - 2 oz chicken, 1/2 c mixed veggies from homemade chicken pot pie. S - 1/2 c steamed spinach Fluids - about 40 oz. Not very good. Getting very annoyed a****ching that darned scale not move. I have been playing within the same 3 pounds for over one month!! Jenn

Wow...me too!!!! I thought it was my imagination the other night when I kept getting off the bed to wipe "things" off the bed...I glad to know I am not the only one!!! And it is hard to find a new comfy sleeping position....but, it is soooo worth it!!!

Great job everybody. Wow - You guys are amazing. I started this whole journey last March in my cardiolgists office. I hadn't weighed for a long time since I couldn't find a scale to use. That day I weighed in at 440 pounds. He recommended the surgery and on June 12th I went to my first meeting about the surgery. I had to lose weight to even get an appointment with my surgeon since my BMI was too much. I lost and my pre surgery weight was 360 pounds. I lost 80 pounds before surgery and have lost 76 since the surgery on October 19th. I have been walking since June and in November I joined the local YMCA and go there 5 to 6 times a week. I really like the idea of this board, and since I found it, I plan to keep checking in here. Thanks for all the encourgement and motivating words. Jean W.

Well done on avoiding the Funyuns!!!! I must admit from the get go I had a bad encounter with 50% reduced fat Pringles. Probably ate a servings worth! UGH! Other than the Pringles "incident" I had today: Slim Fast Low Carb Protien Shake (20 grams protien) Gyro meat (about 3 ounces) and some feta cheese and lettuce. (Yes, the inside of a gyro sandwich. Atkins Bar - 15 grams protien 2 ounces of ham that I sauted in crushed pinapple. 1/4 cup mixed nuts Wat hit about 50 ounces today. Need to get better about that H2O. Bye all!!!

Wow, it seems like we are all thinking the same thing. I have been having some bad days. Very blue, wishing I was losing faster. Wishing I could see what everyone else was seeing. I was on another board, and heard a great idea. To take a picture of yourself today and hold it up to your before picture, and compare it. I am going to try it. I think it is a great idea. Jean W.
