i've been at a stand still for the last 2 weeks.my weight has slowed down before that to about 3 pounds a week but now NOTHING. i do feel like it aint working anymore.

It has always been my dream to wake up thin. Some day I might But, for now, I am almost out of the 300's I am hopeful that I will get to the 100's sometime. I guess we have to keep working toward our goals, and have patience I feel better than I have for years.

Congrats Betty! It's wonderful when those around us start noticing the results! Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 187 / ???

I started with incontinencer after the birtyh of my second son... 1991. It started with snezing, coughing.. then became the "gotta pee NOW!" And forget about going outside in the cold or sticking my hands in warm water...insta-pee..lol I mentioned this to my OB/GYN at my annual appointment and he checked me.. I had a uterine prolapse.. it was lying on my bladder. I had a hysterectomy in 2000. That pretty well took care of it for me until just the past few months. I think that I just have weaker than usual muscles. I do Kegal exercises to strengthen that area. I suggest talking to your docs. I did take one of the meds for it... but I don't remember the name of it. It did work pretty well. But the final solution was surgery. Hope this helps.. Jacki K from PA

I can eat just about everything I've tried. Only have problems if I don't chew well enough or eat too fast. I have no problem with meats - have had salmon fillets, swordfish, scallops, shrimp, pork tenderloin, chicken breast, ground turkey, ground beef, tuna. Also eating salads - usually baby spinach or broccoli slaw. I use shredded cheese and garbanzo beans for added protein. I like the frozen fruits - it's easy to dish out a small serving and let them thaw. For me it's less waste than eating a partial piece of fruit and tossing the rest. I do occasionally have a half a banana and freeze the remaining slices for use in my protein drinks later. The frozen fruits are great in protein drinks, too. Haven't tried any breads but have had crackers a few times. Haven't tried raw veggies other than the salad greens and mushrooms, only cooked veggies. Haven't had rice but have had several meals with whole wheat pasta, recommended by my nut. I have made seafood stuffed zucchini, chicken fajitas, white chicken chili, taco soup (the recipe is posted on OH at least once a week, ), and shrimp stir fry. I like variety and so far, except for the small portions, I don't really feel like I'm on a 'diet'. And that's the way my nut. wants us to think. We've tried dieting and failed. Now we're just eating healthy and in small portions. Kathy
