I have no idea how many calories I consume in a day... 2 or 3 protein shakes, all the herbal tea I can drink during the day... and then a light meal (4oz) with my kiddies during dinner, before bed snack a few SF popsicles and water at bedtime.

I doubt thats much more than 700 - 800 calories every day.

I have lost 60 lbs. So that make the loss of 103 lbs. Sharon

Well done!

getting food stuck really sux
I miss my friend (food)
cooking isnt as much fun as it use to be.

I had surgwery on Feb 19th and have lost 40lbs.  I too think I should be losing faster but I will take what I can get.  I do go to the gym I try for 3 times a week and then walk on the off days but sometimes life gets in the way and I just don't have the time.  I have been giving away alot of clothes but really haven't bought very much I bought a couple pair of jeans and atwo shirts at Fashion Bug the other day for $26 deal of the century i don't want to spend much yet because i hope to be even smaller soon.  I really do not have many food issues and sometimes am afraid that I have eaten too much.  I have had two stalls one a couple weeks ago and then this week I haven't lost anything.  Has anyone else experienced these stalls?
