Over a month with this on and off again UTI. Still giving me pain and I've been on the antibiotic, for the 3rd time for a week now and a week to go.
My bone spur in my achilles tendon has my ankle a mess and I have special orthotics and customized ones on order. I have a night splint which I can barely stand.  I do the stretches in the morning but the Dr orders to cut back activity 50% has blessed me with a pound and a half gain in one week.
I've stopped hitting the candy machine and going to McD's for a non fat latte for a month and to no avail in the weight loss. My problem is being able to eat at night. I can follow my plan all day until about 6pm then it all goes down with out a problem. 
I'm trying to give this over to God, but I can't control myself and I don't feel the Lord's help either. I guess I will credit Him for allowing me to be able to give up the snack machine and McD's but I thought I could lose some weight from those habit changes.

I'm feeliing a failure with no hope in sight. Gained 10 lbs this year.

got the book Eat It Up. It's alot to think about. Evaluating how you feel, your emotions and what it is you are really needing at the time, defense mechanisms and surpressing emotions.
I could relate to alot of it and I will give the book a try. Asking God to invervene between my head and what goes into my mouth.
Tom is getting a stress test. He had chest pains and tingling/numbness down his left arm. I'm nervous about it. I can't lose him. Took me too long to find him.

Gained 14 lbs since last year. 7 Lbs since May.
I'm an ice cream junkie, candy, cookies, get stuck eating meat. Not chewing enough, letting my nerves get the better of me. Husband's ex is going to cause me to have a meltdown. Started exercising (walking), back 2 3 times a week, but the achilles tendonitis is surpressing any more than 3 times. Icing my ankle/heel area.
Back in the forum logging my food and exercise trying to get back on track.

Every day I start fresh. I do very well until I get home from work. There is always something going on or some temptation in the house the I can't resist. That's all I can say right now. I know all the things I can do to distract myself, but it doesn't always work. Gained all the weight I lost in the past week.

Being on liquids, it is hard to stay low carb. I had over 86g of carbs yesterday. Weight stayed the same.
Doing soft foods today. Had some whole wheat spaghetti with everything else I am already in the upper 50g already.
Having crabs tonight. It will all even out.

The funny thing, since last time I was there, (end of March), their scale said I gained .2lbs.  I was like OMG you have no idea what I have been through. I was up 5lbs since last time and I've been wearing myself out with exercise trying to get rid of it to no avail until I cut the carbs and concentrated on protein. I had a small Un fill on March 24th, and within a week I was up 5lbs that didn't go away until Sunday when I cut the carbs.

I explained all this to them. I got .3mls in my band and I'm feeling some restriction. I am able to do my 2 days of liquid without a big problem.  Bad thing is, liquids have carbs and only protein shakes have protein, but it's only a couple days.
Down 6lbs since Sunday.

 I started using the nutrition tracker and found that over 3/4 of my food intake was carbs. I have cut my carbs back to under 25g a day and I have lost almost 4 lbs. I needed this motivation because I was ready to start banging my head against the wall because all the exercise I was doing every day did NOTHING. The added protein and cutback on carbs was my answer to kickstart myself again.

I am so friggin fed up of exercising to the point of being sore and exhausted only to bounce between 216.4 and 219.2 Mostly hovering around 217.something.  I walk 1/2 hour every day. Elliptical and bike with hand weights at least twice a week. Staying away from what I shouldn't have. With some exceptions. I think I am doing 1000 percent better than I have been and I can't get back to 207 where I was last summer. I am ready to say the hell with the exercising because it does nothing. I can sit on my ass and eat like I am eating and be the same weight.

Attempting to reach my personal goal. I am rewarding myself by getting my belly button pierced. (Ok, not for everyyone but it's a better choice than going out and eating a 7 course meal.)
It's been hard to do but I will get there.
