Ive lost 5 pounds in the last 4 days I need to stop!! My cheek bones are sticking out, my eyes look sunk in, my 6's now fit a little loose! You can see all of my ribs (even thru the 10lbs of extra skin) my 34D has turned into a 32 its impossible to find that! My chest looks sunk in, I know I shouldnt complain, but all I ever wanted was to be HEALTHY and look healthy. Instead I'm healthy but am starting to look like a freak. I never realized 5 pounds made much of a difference. For once in my life I'm too skinny and I HATE it. Ive been on my "maintanance " diet that my doc told me to follow and now this! I know its my own fault though. Ive been eating 950-1000 cals a day and I'm supposed to eat 1700-2000 a day. Thats just so much food and I feel like all I do is eat all day. It made me feel like I was being a pig and was making me so depressed! Really messed with my mind a lot! I guess I just need to hear it'll be okay, and it will stop. Thank you all of you for letting me whine, I just didnt know what else to do!!! Youre all such a great support for me! Krystle 262/140 below goal and hating it (5 more pounds and I'll look completely anorexic)

Way to go Todd, that is so encourging!!! Keep up the good work..

Kath, you are doing great. As far as the back have you considered seeing a chriopractor? I was having a lot of problems with my back and someone here on the sight suggested that and I did see one and I found out a lot of my problem was muscle. I saw a pain doctor also and he did an epidural in the muscle that was causing the problem it was causing my siatic nerve to act up so far it is really helping. I also use a tens unit, which helps greatly. From what I have been reading lots of us have back problems for some reason. I had my surgery on Feb 9th. 296/200/? Hope you are able to get some sleep that will help with the dark circles. Cheryl

THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND THE COMPLIMENTS YOU BOTH LOOK GREAT ALSO!!!!!

Great job!! I think all the sacrifices we've had to make to get where we are now are so worth it! i would do this all again in a heartbeat!! isn't it fun when people don't recognize you?!? i saw my old neighbor a couple days ago and it took her a minute to recognize me. GOOD FOR YOU TODD!! i'm so happy for you! Steph 350/330/179/165
