Hey Girls.... Still maintaining... kinda jump around within 3-5 lbs... I dont care though.. Still weigh everyday... Statistics show, people who weigh at least ONCE a week, keep their weight off!!! HW 292 SW 282 LW 143 TW 143 No change.. I did see 141 this week, but also seen 145... Bought size 8 jeans yesterday... and all Medium shirts..and size M workout clothes That's a GREAT feeling!!! Glad to see everyone doing well!!! Stacey

Hey Katy!! Glad you posted!! I can definitely relate to you and your struggles...I know I can and do eat way too much at times but most times I dont and I am thankful to know that just because I can do something, does not mean that I will. I have had a few very bad days and I binged with out a problem..on stuff I had no business touching but I figured that because I now recognize when I am binging and making unhealthy choices, I am in a much better place than I was in the past. And I agree, the more carbs I have the more I want. Its crazy but true. You will be under your lowest weight before you know it! And I love your new picture! Take care Stephanie

I was pouting last week instead of facing up to a weight gain. so I didn't post my weight. I had finished my prednisone and got so hungry that I started grazing big time. I don't know if it was from the drug or if it was an emotional reaction to a suspect mammogram. The extra tests they put me through ruled out malignancy. They basically told me that an internal fold in the breast tissue was the culprit. Great! I not only droop on the outside but the inside too. I am just so thankful that the tests came back the way that they did. But it really gave me pause that my eating issues aren't "fixed". I can still eat too much. I wasn't pouting about the cancer scare. I felt like whatever happened was in God's hands. I had peace about that but I was so stressed to think about telling my family. And I was the most stressed over weight gain. How ridiculous is that? My head apparently has some serious issues to deal with. My scale has slowly moved downward after I quit that but it isn't where it was the first part of February. I have taken myself in hand and am high proteining and exercising every day and journaling and doing everything I am supposed to do. It is strange...if I have crackers or some junky carb, I go off on a tear-fortunately I can't binge anymore, but I want them all the time and for all my meals. I have to stay far away from foods without nutritional and protein value. The good foods seem to cause me to have a clearer mind. I swear that I go into a brain fog on carbs. Anyway here are my numbers. HW 367 SW 357 LW 218 CW 211--3 pounds above my lowest weight post surgery Remember the protein and water and exercise today! Hugs, Katy

So for those of you who still track your food intake...how many calories are you getting in now? I can tell you for me it is way over 1200 on most days....and I feel so like I want to graze all day if I get in only 1200 a day. Just wanting to put some feelers out and see how everyone else is doing...Most days I am around 1400-1500 a day. Then when I fall into a bowl of candy....I am not even going to tell you what my intake was on Friday night...but it involved a whole bunch of fun size snickers and some candy corn tha ........

Morning Marilyn: You and I are in the same boat...I am trying to get to my goal of 140 still and I am inching along towards it slowly but surely. We can and will do it!
