I'm just curious if your doctor gave you a goal weight or if you made one for yourself. I just took the highest weight in my normal BMI range and used that. My doctor didn't set a goal for me. I wish he would have though. Steph 350/174/165

You know, I have the same issue right now. I can eat more, and I have relaxed a bit on the carbs, letting myself have breads. I have been bouncing from 201 - 203 for the last month, and I decided last night that I have to go back to basics. I got rid of all my carby snacks, and the nuts that had been a staple for me. I got some LF jerkey, and promised myself that I would start eating protein first again, and then veggis if there was room. Another thing that I haven't been as vigulent with is the water. I am upping that as well. Hopefully this will start me losing weight fast again. I hope to be under 200 by the end of the weekend, and I hope to lose perhaps another 20lbs. I am also starting an 8 week regimine designed to help you learn to run for 1/2 hr. Running can help you lose a gang of weight. So hopefully in 8 wks, I will be able to run for 1/2hr with no prob. Wish me luck! I think that returning to basics could help us both. GL@US Robin 315/202/160-190???

Has anyone experienced any problems with neuropathy in the hands or feet? I had a nerve conduction study done today and they told me i have a pinched nerve on the sides of both knees (in the same spot on both legs...weird) and i have neuropathy in my feet. It could be from having diabetes for 11 years (they said that was doubtful though) or a B12 deficiency. I'm hoping it's just the B12. Has anyone else had this problem or had a B12 deficiency??
