Is this you?

Is anyone else having this issue. I got down to 143 & a size 2. I now fluctuate between 148-150 - which is fine. I have no problem with that. The problem I'm having is two fold. I seem to be unable to stop snacking - 100% whole grain wheat thins - at least they are healthy? I guess there are worse things I could snack on. Secondly, even though I haven't gained any weight in the last five months I have gone from a 4 to a 8 in jeans? How can this be? I'm not working out less or doing anything different. Someone suggested maybe everthing is just moving around - but I don't see anyplace it's leaving to attach itself to my butt! Am I alone? Sorry it's been so long since I've posted - I've just been so busy. Daughter has been playing softball, doing competition cheerleading and swim team. Something always going on everyday besides just work. Candy

Hi Candy! I feel ya! I can't stop eating Goldfish crackers! I'm buying them by the dozens and get aggravated if they're $1.84 at my local Kroger Grocery store, that I'll drive 2 miles further to buy them for $1.35 at Walmart! They're baked crackers and small enough for just that salty treat I want. I can wear as small as a size 6 to 8 in my dresses and skirts but my butt still keeps me in a size 12 pants (maybe a size 10 - haven't bought pants or jeans in a while). I think the goldfish (crackers) are swimming straight to my butt!

Alas, I wi**** was me. I'm still struggling to lose my weight. I'm down to about 178 pounds and really want to get to 150. My loss is very very slow. I would love to be a size 2, 4 or 8 ! LOL. You have done amazingly well with your program. Don't give up. Just keep doing everything right and you will achieve your goals. Perhaps some PS might be in your future? Cheers & Best Wishes Karen G

I'm sorry I don't have that problem. I thought I did until I started keeping track of EVERYTHING I eat in the day time. I'm not getting enough in and my surgeon said if you don't eat and workout your weight will stay the same Donna

Hi Candy Not too minamize your issues but I so wish I had your problem. I have gained 25lbs and never even reached a goal weight. I have fallen off the wagon and cant seem to get back on. I can eat as much as I used to and when I get on the protien train it does absolutely nothing Im so disgusted with myself. It might just be a water issue with u I dont know I dont have any advice cause I cant even help myself. good luck and keep your chin up Jamie 334/ was 194 now a whopping 216

I've heard from other people and also my surgeon that its normal after about 2-3 yrs out that you gain a little weight back. As for the jeans I haven't had that problem yet (I don't wear jeans much these days due to the heat here in TX). I wear alot of blue jean skirts and blue jean dresses (alot cooler in this horrible heat). I have notice that it depends on the maker of the clothes is the size I wear. Like the other day I bought 2 blue jean skirts and they are a size 5/6..I've tried on other skirts and ended up having to get a size 8 or 10. So it depends on the designer and the material. So please don't make a big issue of sizes. Everyone's body is different...cause I'm at 157 and there is NO way I could ever fit in a size 2...my butt and thighs are to big. If there was ANYWAY possible I would LOVE to have a tummy tuck, thigh and butt lift but my insurance doesn't cover it and I don't have the money to pay for it out of pocket....Oh well..maybe once I hit the lottery...LOL!! Take care of yourself and God bless, Yvonne

Its Cheez-its for me. I think I could eat a ton of them. It is my only downfall. I am 139 lbs if I stay away from the cheez-its, 145 if I eat a lot of them. I think it is water retention. After abstaining from the evil ones, I will lose the extra 5-6 pounds. Lets make a deal...no more cheez-its for me if you stay away from the wheat thins. What do ya think? Cheryl
