Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In - Week of Feb 3rd
HI all! Happy V Day! I started out 8/17/07 surgery day in the 270s, down to 158 today. It is funny...seems like if I eat a lil something every two hours I loose more quickly. I feel better too. The constipation lady up there (lol sorry that sounds bad) I had the same problem. Drink the water...it will help alot. I also got a jar of baby food prunes. I know it sounds silly, but it sure did work. I was afraid I had a blockage, but my reg. Dr. said a blockage hurts very badly and you know it. I love going to the gym too. For Christmas, Hubby bought me a treadmill. Instead of sitting and watching tv, I just walk slowly. Daily, at the end of the night, I usually walk 4 or 5 miles and burn 600-800 pounds. I just walk at a slow pace, but instead of sitting, I walk. It works...my legs are going down nicely, not real flabby. My belly and arms......whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....u dont wanna know. And um my boobs...Grandma Floppola ok? But I guess you cant have it all right? And I am a Grandma anyone (a young one lol). U all take care and hang in there. Remember we control our success by what and how we eat. Eat to live not live to eat.

Topic: RE: I have stalled for about five weeks now...no real weight loss???
I cannot believe how honest you have been and how much I appreciate it. A few weeks back I was on this site trying to find some support and everyone who had surgery the same week as me had lost like 95 to 100 lbs. I've lost about 75 to 80 lbs) That made me feel like such a failure even though I know that everyone loses differently.
I too have extreme trouble with sweets. I still cannot eat very much, but I can eat pretty much anything. I was so depending on this "tool" to work miracles when it is me that needs to do the work. I know this intellectually, but it still for some reason disappoints me that I actually have to expend any effort.....sheesh!!!!
I am ashamed that I too hide stuff in my closet to much on so my husband doesn't see. But I too fessed up to him to hold myself accountable. I want to change and NOT be in the 95% that gains back all their weight. (As quoted from Jillian on Biggest Loser).
Thank you so much for having the courage to admit honestly your troubles and ways to combat them, you have helped me so much!!!
