Topic: Can't seem to lose....
Hello...well I am 7 months out and can't seem to lose anymore weight! I lost 85 pounds and the scales keep going up and down 5 pounds but never more then 85! I feel like a failure...and I find myself depressed about it and heading towards higher carb stuff. Please I need some food ideas that are good protein and low carbs (meals). I feel like a failure!!

Topic: RE: FINALLY! BROKE THAT $#%^ Platue....
Congrats to ya Danielle,
I was at a stand still last month for 2 weeks and I had to kick it in gear, as I was geting so stressed out and I finaly made some changes and they are: I uped my protein from 60 per day to 80-100 grams and walking a mile twice a day, also I just broke up with a gf and found new one that is just starting this journey so that has lifted my spirit greatly. I was down in the dumps and was getting depressed and for the past week with the new help of my new gf that I have to give OH singles board credit for braught me out of the dumps and reaching for the sky and the scale has moved once again I am down 152lbs at 384 from 536lbs in 6 months.
Keep up the great work were all going thru this together.

Congrats on breaking thru that platuae. I have been on the same thing for only a week now. I was doing great, but I have been battling the same 2 lbs for the past week. Cant seem to lose enough to get me down into the 200's for the first time in 15 years. Im at 301 now and daily i curse the scale...lol. I have already lost 119 lbs in 6 months, and am greatful everyday for having had the surgery done. Keep up the great work, and hopefully soon you will be to your goal.

Don't get discouraged. Sometimes you just need to shake things up a little *****ange your diet around if you are eating the same things. I know this sounds crazy but it was the advice that I got when I hit a lull and it worked. I started eating different kinds of foods and bam it worked. Now I try and change my eating patterns every 2-3 weeks. It forces you to pay attention to what you are eating and you get to try a new variety of foods. I habitually get stuck in habits because I hardly have time to breath. But I have realized that I need to stop and spend some time paying attention to myself.
Look at what weight you have lost. Always try and be positive, even if it is just a little positive - it helps.
Lot of encouragement -

Topic: RE: The biggest WOW moment ever...
Wow... if my Dr told me to get down to 130, I would think he was out of his mind. 130, and I would look like a skeleton. I'm so tall that 160 on me would look the same as 130 on an average person.... so I can get away with it 
.
Actually, I'm not really going for a "goal weight" anymore... I'm just going till I get there. I picked 160 originally, because that was 103 lbs, and that's all I thought I needed to lose. Now, I'm not even sure I need to get to 160. My mom's convinced that I don't need to lose any more as it is, lol... I don't know about that, but you know how moms are. When my body stops, that's when I'll be done.

YAAAAAHOOO!
That's great news. I always get nervous during a plateau because I think to myself, "Well, that's it, that's all that's going to come off!" But I'm still losing and for that, I'm still thankful!!
