You know girl friend...i dont even get on the scale only once amonth to tell gg my weigh in...I am readign post and everyone is freakingout about gaining or platueing and you know i wanna weigh goal. BUT IM A SIZE 8!!!!!! who woudl of thought this time last year as i pullled up my size 24 jeans that i would be a size 8!?! i think we all need to stop focusing on what we weigh and how we feel. We know what to do and how to eat. ELISA! you know you should not eat dark chocolate! but you cant change what you did you can only move ahead. as long as my clothes in a size 8...lol still fit or are getting smaller and as long as i wake up and feel good i am ok. I still after a year dont eat bread or white rice. (only on sushi) I still dont drink soda i still limit my sugar intake....YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO! I believe in you....AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I STILL MESS UP. lol its not the messing up that casues weight gain its the continuing to mess up daily that does. All i can tell you is do what you know is right and stop stressing you know stress causes weight gain right??? I LOVE YA! J

Ok, pet peeve time. I never call th dr's because they act like the caller is stupid. The nurse asked if I used some sore throat spray. I don't have a sre throat. I feel like there's razors in my throat after I swallow. I also have pressure in m chest when i eat. I'm waiting for a call back. This is why I don't bother to call them when something isn't right. Will post again later. Jen

AWESOME! I am sooooooo happy for you. I can't wait to get there.

Thanks for keeping up with this. It is great!

Kim, Congrats on your weight loss! I, too, have been out of touch here and am just now coming back to my senses and checking in!! I agree with you that it is hard to believe the person we are now. I went shopping for clothes for a new job and I still look at things and think there is no way that will fit me, and it ends up either fitting or being too large!! My brain is still trying to catch up! I have gone from a size 22 to a size 4/6 in a short time, so I guess I need to be patient... LOL! I look at pictures now from before and think to myself that I never realized I was that big! I have been noticing lately that I feel hungrier as well... and I know it is due to the fact that I was eating foods that are not good for me during the holidays. I had always heard that you get addicted to carbs, and now I know that for sure... since my surgery I was never hungry, until I started eating sweets during the holidays... now I am hungry more often. Ugh. I am working to break that cycle now, and I can totally see how I ended up huge to begin with! I am just surprised that I have not gained any weight in the last month or so. I am not going to go back to being heavy, so I have gotten rid of any remaining goodies left over from the holidays!! Happy New Year, and continued success with your weight loss! Hugs, Deanna
