72 lbs. down makes you at goal? I guess needing to be 100 lbs overweight did not pertain to your surgeon? I am somewhat perplexed. How tall are you?

Topic: RE: 100 Gone Forever!!!!!
Congrats! It was on that day that I also joined the century club! I was 7 months, 1 week, & 5 days post-op. It is an AWESOME feeling!! I have 50 more pounds to go to get to my goal weight. I have gone from a size 28 to an 18! I have also dropped a size in shoes! I love it! It is GREAT to be able to shop at places other than Lane Bryant! My pocketbook is enjoying being able to buy things at Target & Wal-Mart! How much more until you reach your goal weight? Kristy Vest

Those lunchables are loaded with soduim. You may be retaining water. Watch your salt intake.

Topic: RE: I have gained
The foods you are eating sound right. So let's go down my check list (that I use any time I gain for no apparent reason)... 1. Drink more water...yeah, even if you're already floating away....you might be retaining for no good reason...so drink more. 2. Eat more (OR) less calories. Some times our bodies get used to our intake and learn to function on say 800 calories...so a week or two of eating less (OR) more (some times adding some more good calories works better than cutting calories). So try both for a week and see what happens, which works best. 3. Review the fat grams in your food. Remember that good fats (like in peanuts/peanut butter) isn't the same as bad fats (like in whole milk cheeses or junk food). So if you're eating 30 good fat grams, no worries...but if you're 30 grams of fat (which is a high number in...I get around 15 a day total) are like 10 good and 20 bad...time to make some adjustments. 4. Review your workout. Again, our bodies adjust to the rountine. So change things around. Increase the incline on the treadmill or do things in a different order or add something new. 5. Review CARBS! I am NOT for low-carb diets...too often people regain on these dietary habits the second they start eating more carbs. BUT!! On the same note...the more active you are, the more carbs your body needs (Carbs is fast burning energy...and doesn't hang on to us like the slower burning fat energy). BUT also! In general, you need carbs. Good carbs like in whole grain breads/crackers, carbs in milk or cheese...these are good for you. So try adding more carbs (say 10 per 10 minutes of exercise additional) or if your not working out still increase the carbs a bit, add like 20 a day. Try it. If it doesn't work, try decreasing (remembering to increase carbs when you are going to be working out) Ok. How that helps! -110lbs and 10 from goal

Man I WISH! I was stuck, but got up this morning and lost 2lbs since yesterday!! YAY! My goal is 165 - 170 & my MD agrees with that for my build & height. I'm at 217 today so I have about 50lbs to go to meet goal. Hopefully things will continue and I can get to goal by my wedding ANV on 10/26. Which is just before my Surgury Anv. of 11/7.
