I saw your posting pic and wanted to say it's a great pic! I went into your profile and saw your before pic and WOW! You look so much younger now too! What your saying makes perfect sense. Now we all see the beautiful Judy you were always seeing. Congrats! amber 296/160/140 -136

Congrats, Heid! Feels great, doesn't it? I have been within 5 pounds of goal since October! It's my fault,, though that I haven't made it. I discovered that I could tolerate beer and it has been my downfall. I'm happy to say that all the protein, water and food intake is okay, though, and I have not gained any weight, either. I'm a week away from 10 months out and am stuck at -104 pounds. I know I will be below goal at my one year followup in April. Judy

Oh, honey, don't give up! Are you really hungry, or is it head hunger? Keep up the protein intake along with the water. Stay away from the sweets, if you can. I haven't tried anything with sugar in it, because I do NOT want to know if my body will tolerate it. Are you physically active? I know that the gym is not the place for me. I am just not disaplined enough. I have started pilates and yoga classes, though. I thought maybe I could meet single men there - hahahaha!!! This might sound really gross, but sometimes I get the craving for a certain type of food. I find that is it really only the taste that I crave. Sooooo . . . I chew a bite and get out the flavor and then spit it out. I do this several times and the craving is gone and very little of it has passed down my throat. Like I said, this may sound gross, but it works for me. Good luck and please don't give up. You have come so far already. Judy
