Just weighed, and I saw 240 after readjusting it. SO maybe it had been weighing me wrong for awhile. That doesn't surprise me if that is the case, so won't get or feel excited thinking I have lost. For that is allot to loose over night, and also I haven't don't do enough yet to loose, Trying, but always falling on my face. Can't seem to stay off of my face. I have to fight off the mind set that I failed and aint going to reverse the damage I done to myself.

I was doing pretty good today, but then I weakened and had 3 candy bars, not all at once, but still it is more then I really ever wanted. So I am going to really start working on getting myself onto the atkins diet. lost 100 pounds on it, it is focused on protein. If anyone has any thing that they wish to share with me about this let me know. For I need all the help I can get. I am also picking up my working out asap. getting to the gym is the hard thing. it is over in the next town. I need a bus pass  to get there more affordable, and that may not happen until next month. So until then I will dress for outdoor weather and go walking.

I am feeling pretty good about my food intake for today. Not feeling good about this migraine, couldn't clean like I definitely need to do. But am happy with what I didn't eat. Still have much needed change, but it is at least starting to turn around for the better.
what I ate today.
6 oz cottage cheese, (did the cottage cheese test)
then shamefully had to grandma homemade type cookies from the store, 300 cals.
1/2 chicken sandwich mayo I know mayo isn't the best.
For dinner I am going to fixing small steak and some instant rice with it. Rice is carbs but I love rice, and feel and know it is better then having chips or some other kinds of carbs with less nutrition.

I guess I had a pretty good day. Didn't get out for a walk, but did hang up plastic on my little home, and even had to climb the latter to cover up the vent that likes to leak on me. Bf helped so it was an ok chore. A little arguing here and there with him and him with I. But thats life with a man.
I did have one of those large candy bars, and its funny cus everysince I decided to make the step to get soda pop out of my life I am now having more sugar issues then when I was drinking the soda pop. So I aint doing that again tomorrow. Plus I enjoyed way to many sugar free pop cycles. Can say that the sugar free is much better then getting all the real sugar from the candy bars. Soon I will stop all candy/ candy bars,/ and junk foods, first things first. Am down to 1 soda a day, but I am just going to fight hard tomorrow to have no soda. Then once I have done that for a good week or two and have a good hold of it, then it is time to start the battle of removing junk from my life and eating lifestyle. One step at a time better then none that is. I know I can do this, I know I can find my way back down. Just wondering what you all think would be the best, Atkins (lost 100 pounds on that before WLS ) South Beach, Weight watcher, Biggest Looser, the 5 day pouch test * buying book to follow? Or what else ideas does everyone have out there who may come across this to read it.

 I am depressed and ashamed of the weight I seemed to have gained after my RNY . I just seel to keep gaining and fast, can't seem to get it to come off. Guess I must step it up and work harder. It is time for change, just hope to God I Have it in me to make the needed changes and NOW. They can't wait any longer, can't play around with it any longer, time to eat more the way I am told to eat, more, much more protein, more water/ tea, less soda, less sugars, less carbs, and MOVE MOVE AND MOVE MORE. I have to just keep my head up and tell myself that I can and will do this.

 August 26th I went in for the RYN surgery, excited knowing I am going to be painfully starting a new life, one with better heath and one with allot less weight. Body was having trouble holding up the 320 pounds of fat and so on. Could no longer stand in the shawer to bath, to much pain, and almost counldn't get around any more period. Knew there was something I was gonna have to do.
I loose clear down to 180, stop there and have in a short time since have gained back to 230-240, I am worried and freaking out that I'm going to return to that miserable unhappy 320 pound obese woman. That can't happen, is there hope for change, inprovement, weight loss again, or am I stuck and not every going to see any less? I sure hope not, I so need this weight to come off again, any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks for reading.

Has pills helped any of us lose all the wieght and you maintain it??? Nope it doesn't work!
Know what does?
It's eating your potein first then fresh veggies/fruits, not drinking with meals and follow the 30/30 rule.
Exercise is a must!! Are you exercising?
The surgery is not the answer in the long run. It's called life style change along with exercise. Okay I'll get off my soap box for now.
You can lose those last 12 pounds, it's not a race, it's for life.
I don't advocate the 5 day pouch test. I'm all for what I've talked about above.

This weight is a none stop battle. I lost all the way to 180, then started gaining, and now I bounce from 200-210. That is a 20-30 pound gain. I hate it. It just makes me feel like I have failed. I am well over 50 pounds heavier then what my dr wanted me to be.
I am sure lots of it is just from being lazy. Depression, meds, and not eating the right things. I have to get serious about what I put into my mouth, and what I do or don't do as far as activities goes. I wished there was support here whare i live. But I have looked and have found none.
Well I will keep fighting, and perhaps I will get a revisision in the next year if I can't get the remaining weight off. Being this weight is still causing some pains and problems, so will see what will happen.

I am fighting between 192-200 pounds. I just am not sure what more I can do to get this last pounds off. I can't seem to get it to budge.

Anyone whom may stumble over this, pls advise is welcomed. I am stuggling to reach my goal weight, so I am in the proper BMI weight. It often feels like it is so far out of reach for me.

I am still unable to get under 190. As a matter of face I am seeing almost 200. I think it is time to slowly get off of 2 meds. One helps me sleep at night, while the other one is Lyrica, which is for the Fibromyalgia pains. Maybe then I will see lower numbers on the scale. I so want to see myself in the right weight, and the BMI that is in the normal range. I have somethings that has to be done other then the medication, like change my eating habits. That can always use more attention and more changes for the best. It sure would be nice if there was support and someone who is going through this also. I guess I wasn't meant to have face to face friendship/ support buddy. Well I have gone this far, why am I in need of it now. This weight thing is really bothering me. I hate to dwell on this weight, but if I don't then I may just ignore that there is need to work on it and hard to make this weight come off.
