Was it ME whining???
ok, folks, I know it was me boo hooing that I was stuck at 180......yeah, yeah....well I never like to post a weight until I've been at it for at least 3 days so I am sure it is true. But I've hit what I call MY goal! I am 175! YOWSER!! I have not been this weight since I was 17 years old and now I am....well, older. So started at 290 Apr 2, 2003 and now Feb 1, 2004 175. How did I do this after my pity party?? I increased my protein. yup! Simple as that. I really took a look at what I was getting in each day. I didn't look at my carbs so I didn't psych myself out. I just focused on increasing my protein. By doing that, I didn't have any room for the carbs!! I try to listen less to my heart and stomach and more to my head. It really does help. I don't really get a stomach notice that I am full and if I went by my heart, well, I'd eat everything in sight! So I listen to my head that says hmmmm, that's looks to be about 3 ounces. I'm done...Sometimes I get the hiccups, but that's it.
Still no sugar......and I think that's key.
What a journey this has been. Of course now that I am 175, I could go down a few more and still not look sagged. So on I go!!
a NO SNOW weekend! What shall we do?? I know!! Watch the Huskies and GO SHOPPING!!
Oh, one more great thing...MY GRANT IS FINISHED AND OUT THE DOOR!

Congratulations to my Angel!
Congratulations on a huge milestone in your journey... that's what we all strive for, right? To hit our goal weight. And you've done it in less than a year. That is just awesome!
Remember before our surgeries we thought... "What if I'm one of the few who doesn't lose the weight, what if I never reach goal?" Look what you've accomplished now.
The ups and downs of the journey that you've shared with me, continually inspire me. Thank you for everything and congratulations again on such outstanding success.
Much Love,
Kim
