Topic: RE: going sugar/carb CRAZY!!!
Ohhhh.... I am so hearing you on this craving deal..... I have been craving AND eating peanut butter..... i love it to pieces... irrationally so, moreso then I've ever done before... seriously, I had a dream that I went into a convience store for pb cups and read the nutritional info and it was 530 calories a cup.... oohh the horrah! I've been eating pb and jelly on crackers ... 2 freakin' tablespoons are 190 calories.... I need to stop this insanity!! I also dig the pb cookies.... any soft chew cookies.... ugh... and work sells them!!
it's so hard to stay away.

I seriously need to increase my protein as well... but, despite that, I would recommend you trying Syntrax Nectars... the Fuzzy Navel is very good, tastes kinda like Sunny Delight.... and it's a fruity protein drink... the more water you add to it, the more fruit drink and not sludge like it would be... it has like 23g of protein, 0carbs, and 90 calories...
There are a bunch of different flavors, but I really like peach, so... 
Another way to break your plateau is to increase the amount of your caloric intake for a week... increase it by 100 calories a day and then go back down to your normal intake, it should spike your metabolism. I know it sounds crazy to eat more to lose, but that's the truth.

Carolyn,
I have discovered that when I started doing my protien and getting my water in, the needle will move. I am doing at least two shakes a day and try to get in at least one protien bar a day. What I have found is tha****er is the key though. I shoot for minimum 80 grams protein and 80 oz of water. I do not count my shakes as part of my water allotment. I used HiTech 100% Whey Protien and 2% milk. I tried some Myocel my friend has and I really liked the taste of it. Protien protien protien...water water water. It got me off the plateau from hell that I was on.

Topic: PLEASE help!!! I have a question.
I need your help. I was talking to a couple of gals from another site about the needle on the scale not moving. They were telling me that a good way to break a plateau is to drink a protien shake (or sugar free instant breakfast with skim milk) for breakfast and lunch and then eat a couple of oz. of chicken breast or tuna for supper. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? I am starting to keep a food journal to see what exactly I am putting into my mouth. I know that since Easter the sugar and carbs have been driving me absolutley NUTS! I just want to sit and munch and munch and munch. I know that I have talked to several of your re: not making it to the century club within 6 months. 
And even tho I am trying to deal with that by talking about it, thinking about it and looking at the wonderful progress that I have made, I think that the disappointment is adding to my cravings. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried the shake thing and what their thoughts were.
Thanks again for all of your help and support!

JulieAnn,
AMEN!!!! I know exactly where you are coming from! I feel like such a failure!!! I had my surgery on 9-29-03 and am only down 83 lbs. Now, I must note that if I had not had the surgery and would have lost 83 lbs on weigh****chers or some other program, I would probably be shouting from the highest hill or mountian that I had lost 83 lbs!!!! BUT...For some reason, and I am not sure where I came up with this, I truly thought that I should have had at least 100 lbs off by now. I know for a fact that my surgeon did not tell me this, nor did my nutrionist. I get so gosh darn frustrated. I feel bad because I read other peoples posts and they have lost 100lbs or more and instead of being happy for them, I am sooooo jealous. Right now I am having a terrible time with sugars and carbs. I want chocolate sooooooooooooooooo bad! But as you said, we are all human and you know what...I screw up sometimes. OH WELL!!! So as for me, I will keep on walking, keep on swimming or doing an exercise of my choice and keep on learning. But most of all, I will keep on living...and part of living is making mistakes and trying things (easter candy included) I am proud of my weightloss and I should be. I am less of a person ( in mass and weight) than I was 6 1/2 or 7 months ago!!! Look at all we have accomplished!!! We will get thru this! We should all be proud of how far we have come! Thanks JulieAnn for giving me a reminder that YES there are other people out there struggling just as much as I am!!! GOD Bless you!
