I thought it was only me!!! I know exctly how you feel.. I have been shut in because of my knee replacement surgery.. So thought maybe it was boredom. Maybe it is just that time in our journey.. It would be interesting to ask some others if this has happened to them at this stage. Keep up the good work girls.. We all will lose that last few pounds.. I have been bounceing between 98-100 pounds off for 2 weeks now. Good luck all. Alice

Topic: RE: HELP! I am hungry!

I am having similar problems...I am always wanting to graze... I havent been gaining weight but the weight loss has slowed down to very little. I would like to loose another 25 lbs or so. The solution for me is to NOT have the things I like to graze on in the house. When I KNOW they are in the cupboards I can't help myself. Old habits die hard I guess.? Guess its time to buckle down again and refocuss!! Becky

Topic: RE: HELP! I am hungry!

I am having to fight the urge to snack also. I am eating 3 meals a day consisting of about 2-3 ounces a meal and then try to eat a snack in between (yogurt, sugar free pudding, cheese and wheat crackers, etc). I exercise daily. Have you tried tracking your calories? I used thedailyplate.com and average 850-950 calories a day. Julie

Topic: HELP! I am hungry!

Well, I guess my honeymoon is over. I have been craving everything in sight! I have been grazing and I eat more at meals. I am afraid I have stretched my pouch out. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks. I have been eating a orange or a 100 cal bag snack in between meals. I have been dealing with a lot of depression for some time now and the doctor put me on a new medicine. I believe this started after being put on this med. Has anyone else had uncontrolable cravings? I have been dealing with family problems with my adult children which has caused the depression to increase. I worry about them and my grandchildren. I have got to get a grip! I have come to far to have this happen. I was down to 179lbs. and now I am at 183. It fluctuates between those numbers. I don't want to gradually put it back on, and i would like to lose at least 20 more lbs. That is not my original goal but I think it would be a good number for me. Any info, suggestions, ect, would be appreciated.

Topic: Shopping

So does anyone else have issues trying to shop for new clothes? Now that spring is here I need to go out and buy new clothes. I am finding it very difficult now that I fit in regular sizes. Now that I have more options for clothing I am finding myself very overwhelmed!! I don't know what styles to wear, what sizes to try on... and I just find myself leaving the stores because of it all. How did you cope if you had the same issue? I am way too use to only having a few plus sizes to choose from and pick the one that fits the best!! I am now resolving to ordering some clothes online from jc penny and hopefully this will help me feel less overwhelmed. I figure I can try out a few styles and if there is stuff I don't like or the size is wrong, I can just return them. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sherri

Topic: RE: So, Does Anyone Else Not Like Coming to this Board???

I come to this board often, but never post. I know what you mean though... I compare too and see how far everyone has come. Even you are closer to your goal weight than I am. I've lost 173 with the sleeve and I've still got 102 left till I get to my goal weight... but even that doesn't give me a normal BMI... I'd still need to lose another 20-25 pounds to do that on top of the 102 that I have left. You are really doing great! As hard as it is. Don't compare. Go by how you feel, like you said. I know I feel fantastic compared to how I felt this time last year. Celebrate all the small things... Sending you a hug! ~Lauren~
