(((Shireen))) You could try mostly shakes for a week or so if you want to. I would still eat at least one meal with protein and a fresh veggie though. Are you able to get out a walk on a daily basis or anything?

I walk here and there, but nothing consistent. I probably REALLY need to bump that up and start walking at lunch time.... Yes, I am sure that would help. I hope!

Maybe I will try and do shakes and one meal with veggie and protein? Something HAS to change ,I have felt SO GOOD about myself, my weight loss etc, but I still want to lose 40 more lbs, 30 for sure. Its just a little scary right now.

Hugs and thank you! We shall see how the one meal, shakes and walking goes. xox

I never got closer than about 30 pounds from my goal. And I'm more than two years out. I've pretty much given up hoping for goal. I appreciate very much that I ***** about these last 30-40 pounds because that's the least I've EVER had left to lose in my life! Nothin' compared to trying to lose 100+. I used to want to slap people who were trying to lose "only" 30 pounds or so because they had no idea what a struggle REAL weight loss was like...and now, I'm them!

Me too...me too,,,,,

Love you Gail............

Just sent you a PM. I wish I could shake things up. Don 't know what to do either.

I am in the same boat as everyone else but you only have 40 pounds to go. We have four month before we are a year out I am sure you will get down some more but know that I am going through the same emotions as you. I have more than that to lose and the stupid scale isn't moving. I will be fasting next week only consuming liquids for personal reasons but the fast may just get it moving again. I will let you know how it goes. I so want to be out of the 200's but will be happy if I can just see 200. 67 more pounds and I will be there baby!!!! Keep your head up!!!!

I will not get to consult with a surgeon until January. I am low carbing until then. How long do protein shakes satisfy your hunger?
I am starving like Marvin soon after I finish one up.

Look forward to seeing this thread everyday!
