a little discouraged

Hello all.. I know i have no reason to complain.. because I have truly been blessed. I am officially 8 months and 1 day out and i have lost 171lbs. But the scales have not moved in 2 weeks. I am just accustomed to approx 1 lb every 2 days.... I have noticed my eating habits picking up as well. I have been scarfing down popsicles like crazy and eating unhealthy foods.. am I the only one who ha**** this phase as far as the eating binges? I do not go over my half cup.. but grrrr.. just annoyed with myself I guess...

You have lost 171 pounds, that is great!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not be discouraged, it sounds like you may have just hit a plateau. I had my surgery 02/14/05 and have lost 50 pounds. But I have noticed that I am eating over 2oz of food at each meal and I worry. I eat a lot of soup and chicken. I still have my old cravings as well and I may take a small bite to end the craving but i try to stay in control. Look at how far you have come. You should be proud of yourself. You are a inspiration to us all!!

Tonya you are doing wonderful!! I've had my surgery 8/26/04 and have lost 120 lbs..I'm on a scale that has been consitpated for a month and 1/2 and I'm about to throw it out the window.. I really wanted to be under 200 by the time I went back to to the doctor 6/22, but at this rate...I'm still stuck on 210.. Please don't worry and just pick-up a little more walking and moving about and you know that "e" word (excercise) of course i should practice what i preach.. Next Tuesday 6/14 is the meeting at Norton's Bariatric on Broadway..6pm come and share your concerns!!! best of wishes..renee
