Topic: RE: How much are you eating?
usually the same as you but this weekend i experienced my first eating like a horse. i hit just over 1,000 calories and ate like a pig. i don't know what got into me. Farmer's Daughter just told me that the B's can increase hunger. I've been trying to take my B complex in the morning so can I blame that? I also had low carb, low cal, multi grain bread for the first time in 6 months. can you say carb ***** omg I cannot do moderation. the bread is in the trash. so, back to your question lol, normally I am with you and I will be back there tomorrow. sorry for the mini hijack. i let my dh go fishing tonight and have spent too much time on this computer! happy new year, judi

Topic: RE: I Need some support
hey jamie: i think we have all slowed down recently. you haven't gained. so while you were maybe not making great choices, your overall calories must've still been ok. i think the protein drinks are a great idea. i've seen people talk about the hood low carb chocolate milk. has anyone seen the stats on that? at quixotic we are going to start another challenge soon where you have to check in that you took your vitamins, drank your water and exercised at least 3 times a week. Last time we split up in teams to keep us accountable to not let the team down. No prizes though but if you think something like that might help, come on over and join in! you can do this! i know your schedule is crazy hectic but you will find a way! hugs, judi

Topic: RE: problems with certain foods........
I'm a bander..but it's funny right after surgery I ate anything..then after a few fills I couldn't eat any meat..it would hang up & I would get Very ..Very Ill..Then a month ago after another fill i could eat meat again ...Go figure ??? The only meat I don't eat is solid beef..like steak it still hangs . Imust not be chewing enough. I chew & chew & when I think I've chewed enough .. I chew some more.. but still.

Topic: RE: This is too cute
I love it ! I made a promise to myself to throw out anything with elastic in the waistband after my surgery & I did. It's such a forgiving thing. At least with a tight waistband it keeps ya in check or ya have to go naked & beleive me no one wants me to do that !! Ha ! Happy All Year !

Topic: RE: NEVER would have expected
That's fantastic !! I'm sooo mad at myself for not doing any measurements. All I know is ..I was a size 26 pants & now I'm a loose 16 (can't quite get into 14's yet..But they're hang'en right on the bedroom door just wait'en ! I went shop'en & tried on 16's & they fit So I put them back & purchased 14's. My husband said "Are you nuts ? Ya just tried on t/16's..Why ya buy'en 14's ?" I said ao I got something to shoot for for New Years ! Well I didn't make it..but I will real soon. As Charles Swindel's poem says "Attitude is 10% what happens to you & 90% what you do with it".

Jamie, If you like choc. also try EASE Choc. Protein drinks. Get it cold & it taste just likeChoc. Yoo Hoo's. (17 grams protein). I beleive if I remember right in training they told us your body can only process about 37 grams of protein at one time...if you take in more than that , it's just wasted. anybody can correct me if I'm wrong. Cathy told me to pass her willingness to help on to people..so don't hesitate to slip her a note..just tell her Jill sent ya.

Topic: RE: How much are you eating?
Bekah, Same as you depending on what the food is. Some things seem to feel like OMG with one bite. I don't know what.. I guess some things hang right there. I like those foods because I lose way more if I stick with them. I'm also careful with food combining ..I'm kinda into that . I don't mix protein & high carb in the same meal..I'm just weird like that..but hey..it works for me. I've lost 87lbs. since june 12th (banding).
