Topic: RE: ALWAY HUNGRY
Hi, Mrs. T.!
I have this problem when I start eating too many refined carbs. Add more meat to your meal, it fills you and keeps you feeling full longer. And if you feel hungry, DO eat, just be sure you eat the right thing--have a protein snack bar or shake, eat a salad or just chop up a chicken breast and chow down. As long as you eat healthy, you'll be fine and your body will eventually regulate out.
Plus remember, if you are exercising more and seeing inches come off, then you are adding muscle from the increased exercising, and that will counterbalance what you might see on the scale, but don't let this frustrate you. If it gets too frustrating, just toss the scale--as long as your clothes are fitting better and looser, you KNOW you are actually still losing fat, even if the scale doesn't move.
keep up the great work!!!

Add another 93 lbs. to that total 
My 6 month surgiversary was yesterday and try as I might, I just didn't make it into the Century Club by then--but it should be just right around the corner for me.
I haven't been measuring, so no ideas there--I truly regret that, but starting out a 340 lbs., I just couldn't face the tape measure! HOW I wish I had taken down those numbers!!!
I have moved from a 5X into a 2X in clothes, but my belly still hangs down so low that I'm still wearing the same type of stretch-waist pants. I do have several pants that are just flat TOO big now, and MANY shirts that just hang on me. I look best in a dress, which camouflauges my sagging belly.
I exercise on my elliptical in my living room, and occasionally take midnight walks in my neighborhood, which is a really nice change of pace.
I get my water in most days and protein is not a problem. I love pork and fish--soft is easier still--and eat a lot of chicken, too. The biggest boost on my protein intake is the "Profect" brand drink. I water them down so they aren't too syrupy and they taste just like a kool-aid type drink...and I've even discovered that the Blue Raspberry makes a GREAT mixer with rum--but can't do that too often, now can we????

Topic: RE: Stalled since Feb!
Casey,
I feel your pain, there was actually a point this month I went from 208 to 220 in a week. I was devistated.
I am now back down to 215 but I will not be showing a weightloss for the month of April. I go see my surgeon and my GP within the next few weeks and am going to discuss it with them then.
You're not alone,
Janet

Kim;
Thanks so much for your kind words.
Actually my husband's office was in Dearborn (right across from Ford World HQ). We lived in Howell out in Livingston County. But, my grandmother lived in Melvindale as long as I can remember. She died last summer. We're actually in the process of selling her home there.
Yeah, I'm seriously disappointed in my Wings this year. 
What a choke in the first round...especially against Vancouver! WTF?!? Be careful claiming Basketball town...there's lots of Spurs fans that will challenge you on that one. 
Where in Michigan do you live?
Blessings,
Jennifer
