Never give up Renee! The challenge is with us each day. I am sure if you keep up the running that you will be balanced and OK. Aren't there extra endorphins in there somewhere for you?

I am a big fan of Premier Nutrition Protein shakes.  You can get them at Costco (and possibly elsewhere).  Prior to surgery, i preferred the Vanilla over the Chocolate.  After the surgery, the Vanilla is too sweet for me, but I love the Chocolate.  30g of protein in 11 oz!

Good luck with your surgery!

Wow, I am going in the wrong direction!  I know that I have been making poor choices, so it is no surprise, but still very disheartening.  I need to kick myself in the butt on my eating.

I'm still exercising, although I think I need to ramp up the intensity, or try something else to change things up.  I might try going back to deep water aerobics.  But it is the eating that is out of control--I ran 8 miles over the weekend, and still packed on the weight!!

Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 141.8 lbs
This week: 144.8
Gain of 3.0 lbs!!!   YIKES!!!

I know that portion control is a problem--I need to get back to measuring my food--it's really easy to put that extra 1/4 or 1/2 a cup of something on your plate.  I also have been having trouble with late-night snacking--Paul, I hear you on this one.  I was doing one late-night snack;  it has devolved into almost continuous eating.  Time to nip that in the bud. 

How are things going for everyone else?  Somebody reassure me that this can be turned around!!
