Hi B, Great questions!! 1. Adjustment? NOPE not even close. I eat more now (about 3/4 cup at a time) than I did before Thanksgiving but I have had to change to a small dessert plate to keep myself in check. Its harder at a restaurant. 2. Still losing? Yes slowly, very very very slowly!!! 3. New Valentine? Nope, same one. But fiance and I are getting to spend alone time together tonite!!! 4. Pieces of chocolate? probably 2, 1 milk and 1 dark 5. Weight lost to date? 194lbs. 6. % of total excess? well since I never intended to lose all of it, I calculate this based on my goal weight of 180. I am at 85% as of right now. Thanks Lise

Hi everyone! I haven't checked in in such a long time!! I hope all of you are doing great 1. Adjustment?: Yes and no. I do overeat at times, but I am also 4 months pregnant, so I think that I eat more some days because of that. But overall, I think I'm still doing okay. Unfortunately, I am craving candy of all things with the pregnancy and can eat a ridiculous amount without any ill effects, so that's my demon at the moment. I can almost eat an entire ham and cheese sandwich with the bread to give you an idea. I don't measure my food amounts anymore and just let my pouch be a guide. I do find I "push" it a bit, so I need to remind myself to use the tool instead of abuse it. 2. Losing?: Thankfully, NO! For the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy, I lost a couple pounds, but as of my last appt at 15 weeks, I have now gained 3lbs. I don't want to gain a ton of weight, but I want to make sure I do gain to make a healthy little baby 3. New Valentine?: No. Same Valentine for the last 11 years 4. Pieces of chocolate?: Okay, I did mention that I am having candy cravings, right? On Valentine's Day, I honestly ate probably 12 pieces of chocolates throughout the day!! FORGIVE ME, FOR I HAVE SINNED! LOL 5. Weight lost to date?: Before pregnancy, 121lbs lost. Now, it's about 118lbs lost. 6. % of total excess?: Before getting pregnant, I was within my goal. I wanted to be between 130-140lbs and I got to 137lbs. That was, I think, 96% according to the weight loss planner. I think I am at about 89% now with the few pounds I've gained. This has been fun!! I will try to check in more often God bless Erica

Hi All, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Have you adjusted to how much you eat? For the most part yes. Are you still losing? I haven't lost since August. I've maintained since then. Do you have a new Valentine this year??? Same Valentine that I've had for 25 years. How many pieces of chocolate will you have??? and don't lie!!! I don't eat chocolate unless it's sugar free. Since I don't have any.. I'd have to say none. How much weight have you lost to date??? 125 from highest. 92 since Surgery How much % of total excess weight have you lost??? About 41% ~Angel 255/222/130 at goal!

Hey, Well, let's see: I have adjusted to eating smaller portions. I am still losing slowly, but that is good. I have a Valentine, but he is an over the road truck driver and I won't see him until March I am going to have 3 pieces of Pearson's Dark Chocolate Mint Patties.. I have lost 105 pounds so far. About 60% of my excess weight so far. I hope I calculated right.. Cathy 287/182/145
