Hmm...ok i am just going to go order them right now!!!  I can start taking them when they get here.  I see they have GRAPE flavor.  That sounds yummy.

Here! 384 at my highest. 293 today... 10 weeks out this coming Tuesday. 35 lost since surgery... 91 lost overall. Feeling a little down about only losing average 3.5 pounds per week, but the scale continues to move in the right direction!

CONGRATULATIONS to you Lilitu!

Yep you've hit one of those plateaus.  Mine lasted 6 weeks.  The only thing I might suggest is changing up your exercise.  Do you do the same things in the same order?  Sometimes your body gets really smart and fights you tooth and nail to try to get you back to where your were.  See if you can change up your exercise.  You are right...the worrying will make you want to self medicate with food and yes we know that seems insane doesn't it?  The best advice I can give you is to also concentrate on the good, the things you are grateful for and don't let that monster of obesity sneak back up on you.  Think about how far you've come and keep that stress level down.  Also....see yourself getting on that scale and breaking that plateau.  Wake up in the morning and say "I'm breaking my plateau today!"  Believe it, see it.  If you don't, repeat it again the next morning.  Say "I'm breaking it today" instead of  saying "I'm breaking it tomorrow".  I know this sounds strange but it doesn't hurt to try.   It's a way to work on that subsconcious.  Reaching out and talking about it always helps!

WELCOME!!!  You know you've told a story of so many that lost the weight and gained it back.  You know you've got the discipline, you lost all that weight on shakes but you can't do that forever.  I failed at everything for 30 years until I got this miracle.  It's not a magic pill but it will allow you to get back to normal and then it's up to you maintain.  I figured that was an awesome trade!

I started playing golf about 8 years ago and they tell me I have a beautiful swing and I'm great at scrambles because I LOVE my driver but my short game is AWFUL!  I want to divorce my pitching wedge.  I know a lot of it is in my head but that's OK.  I go and hit balls for exercise.  I have no children but 5 cats and a dog.  We traded places I think.  I'm so glad you're here!  I wish we lived closer so I could play golf with you when you get back to the greens.
hugs, Y
