Thank you Susan you are such an inspiration to all of us. I have always admired your strength. I look forward to seeing and talking to you Saturday at the walk.

Hang in there, Court! I bet you're just plateauing. I agree, you don't need the liquid diet just yet... maybe just a change in your exercise or upping your protein. Give it a little time and things will start moving again. Make sure you measure, too. Could be one of those times your body is rearranging itself.
Take care, sweetie!
Take care, sweetie!

Oh, Tammy, I'm not afraid of you! I still think of you as a success. I don't care that you've gained back 40 or 50 pounds, you've still stopped it before it got where it was before. Don't you know how much you rock by now? I am extremely grateful you're around -- I look to you as how things will be long-term, and it's so valuable to have your experience and perspective here. Please don't think such terrible things about us or yourself.
I need to get back on here more often! I miss you guys. See you this weekend, right? ;-)
PS: I'm SO PROUD of you for kicking the coke habit!!!!!!!!

I've got to hit the hay soon, but I wanted to say how proud I am of you and everyone else in this thread for getting back on track! Slurp and drink away. I'll be rooting for you as you do the oh-so-fun liquid diet again, but I bet it will get you back on track like Addie says. :)

I just popped in for a minute -- my usual time to check in is at work and things have been veeerry busy the last few weeks, but I had to respond to this.
I am so glad you are back with us, Jan! Please don't feel you've let any of us down. I've thought about you lots over the last several months - you've definitely been through the wringer. Please be gentle with yourself but yes, we do need to get you off those pain meds if we can, and then we can work on the weight. You've still got the tool, we just need to work it! It's great to see you on here again. :)
I can't wait to see you at the walk!!!
Much love and ((((HUGS)))) back atcha.

My dear lil Court.......could you be holding water??? you know some women retain water the week after the cycle as well as before. Mother nature aint she a hoot!!!!
If you think you are lacking in protien then up it. What are you taking in? You are still in your early stages and I dont think you should go liquid unless a doc says so. I think protien and more water. Most prepared foods are loaded with sodium. Are you keeping tabs on it?
How are the workouts coming? If you have been doing the same things with no problems you can either increase intensity or weights.....sometimes a small jolt to the workout helps too. You should not switch your whole program but maybe add something extra....jump rope is good a step bench or BOSU ball is good. Get some boxing gloves and a bag....great cardio!!!!!!!
have a good one
luv Tammy

well, you all know I have been struggling... I have had this 5 pounds come and go... Like today, I weighed and was 190... the other day 195... I dont understand.... Have not been overeating, dont think im getting in enough protein... i have been thinking about doing the liquid diet again, to start over again, but dad days I dont need to, because Im not over eating or eating things I shouldnt be, just need to kick up my protein...

Thanks for posting.....as you all know I have had one hell of a ride. I think alot of my issues are the fact the last time I saw my doc was about 6 weeks out. So I never knew how to properly eat and drink. I have been winging it on my own.
I know my failure to follow rules has hurt me, but it has not ruined me. I am such a horrible stress eater....still.....it sucks.
Yesterday was 4 weeks no cokes. Do I miss them...yes do I want one YES!!! The last week has been the worst by far.
I weighed the week I stopped drinking them and came in at 172ish. I have gained since then too......I am ravenous all the time with out my 1 coke.
Caffeine is not as bad for me as some. I think I may be immune to it. I take vivarin with coffee and do not get a jolt.....same thing with red bull or monster drinks I have tried while traveling to TX on emergency notice.....had to stay awake. So I dont think caffeine is an issue but the headaches are.....they are still with me.
I am ashamed and horrified to post on here because I am not a success. I dont want to go to the walk but will do it anyhow. How can I set an example when I am not an example to follow??
Maybe my issues should be a wake up call to others.....maybe that's the example I am being....maybe I have to sacrifice some to save someone else from my experiences.
I know we all preach this.....follow what your dr says.....well I dont have a dr and I am going to follow what Rhonda is doing starting tomorrow as today is a wash....I will follow her diet regime.
Very few people of the many registered with this board talk to me. I have grown fond of all of you . Maybe people dont want to talk to me because they are afraid of becoming what I have.
It is important for all of us to know what can happen.....no I dont like being the laughing stock of the group but because of my nature....if it helps someone else to not become a failure then I am ok with that.
Too many people lurk.....I know there is someone else out there with issues....maybe not regain but others.....you need to step up and ask your new family for support or advice. We are all here and should not shun anyone, be afraid to ask a question, or comment in a healthy supportive manner.
Maybe I have been through so much I see things differently. I have regrets and wishes and dreams. It may just be a harder road for me in order to meet those dreams and wishes. I wont give up.
I hope to see more activity of what the board is really here for. Of course post you daily activities and let us know when something is wrong or in need of prayer....we are always here for that. It is just to easy to get caught up in the day to day and then you start to have problems.
hugs
Tammy

Criss...
I'm not going to Dallas this next weekend, I went LAST weekend to meet up with some ladies from the Over 50 Forum. So sorry for the misunderstanding!
Sorry I didn't respond to your PM, I'm having problems w/OH. Have sent a message to them, let's see how long it takes them to get it fixed
