I think we have all come to a point in the process that we have platueaed... I talked to my nutritionist and we decided that my body had become accustom to what I was eating and doing for exercise.. she told me to change it all up... I did and have began losing not quite as fast as before but Im at my half way point well 6lbs from it but still so it will slow down the closer you get to your goal... just keep pushing and doing your best and you will make it, we will all make it! Keep it up everyone! WE CAN AND WILL DO IT!!!

I am 5'0 and I started at 240 wearing a tight 20, I am now 199 and wearing 16's... I am pretty proportionate i carry my weight evenly so I hope that helps!

UPDATE!!!! So I went for my dress fitting and I needed to order a new dress! But its a special order color and all they had were sizes 2, 20,22, and 28... so they had to do what they could to take it in and make it work. It looks much better now! The only bad part is that it would have been cheaper to buy a whole new dress instead I had to fork up $100 in alterations! I am down another 5 lbs to 204 now and I cant wait until I hit 199!! Its been at least 3 years since Ive been in the 100's! All of my clothes are falling off of me or look like I pooped my pants! lol I was bored the other day so I went to the store and tried on some shorts to see if I could fit into 14's yet... well I got them on, zipped, and buttoned!! They weren't pretty but the point is I got them on!! I wouldn't have gotten the over my thighs 3 months ago!!! Thanks for reading!

I am allowed to have motzzellrea (sp)... so I am assuming its going to be your best bet... its the lowest fat cheese... i love cheese to so i can relate! good luck!

That is awesome! I started at 240 and Im at 209... I cant wait to be under 200 for the first time in 3 years!!! I bet that is one of the greatest feelings ever!!! Keep up the good work!!!

your band is probably to tight... they tell me all the time if I cant eat meat I need to have some taken out... hope that helps!

I am 10 weeks out and I hit 30 lbs lost today!!!! Im down 2 workin on 3 pant sizes and 16+ inches!!! I am sooo freaking excited!! May 31 I set a new goal to get to 180 by Aug 31... I started at 213 and already down 3 lbs!! I cant wait to what the other side of 200 looks like again! Its been too long since I've seen that side!!

I am so glad that I can help inspire people by posting my success! I know I love to read about others success too!! Hopetolose: I love that! Thanks everyone!!

I have the same issue! I have horrible cramps throughout my periods now, whereas before I might have had light cramping the first day! and I absolutely hate it!!! I dont have the nauseua or tight feeling, I am actually more hungry during my period so I have to make sure I pay attention to what I am eating!

Hopetolose: That is awesome we are on a very close ride together!! Congrats to you on your loss also!! I am a bit shorter than you I am only 5 foot tall! I am a what I have always called short and squashy! lol There is nothing like the feeling of wearing something you dont normally wear and getting compliments! It makes everything so worth while!! Rachel412: Thanks!! I dont want to have to pay for a new one but I kinda hope I have to!!!!

Thanks everyone... I cant have gum either but I had being using alot of listerine packs! I had asked the dietician and she said she has never hear anyone complain of bad breath... so I had to post this and see if there was anyone else, I knew I couldnt have been the only one! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks!

Thanks!! Will do!!

I am 10 weeks out and I started at 240lbs and a tight size 20 jeans... I am now 212lbs and in a size 16!!! So today was picture day.. I take a picture once a month on the 5th in an old swim suit that I had when I was thin... Today we took my monthly picture and you could see a huge difference from last month and an even bigger difference from the first picture!! I am in a wedding in the middle of July and I had to buy my dress early... so I had to order a 20 because I wasnt sure if I was going to get to have the surgery at the time I had to buy it... When I brought it home to show my husband, he had a hard time getting it to zip because it was a bit snug... Well I tried it on tonight and well lets just say the only thing holding it up is my butt!! They say they can take it in up to 2 sizes but I think I am already at that mark and the wedding is still over a month away!!! Ahhhahaha! I have had 3 fills and I feel that I am at the sweet spot!! I am so excited about my progress and today just made it that much better!!! I cant wait to see how the rest of this turns out! I have set a new goal as of May 31 to hit 180lbs by August 31... thats about 10 lbs a month.. and that is exactly what I did last month!!! So I am determined to meet my goal!!! I just wanted to share my exciting news with everyone!!!

I have been using nectar Sweets Protein powder and I have two different flavors... Both give me horrible breath after drinking them or eating them in pudding... My mouth taste horrible and my breath is as rank as all get out! Does anyone else have this problem?? Also I was wondering if you all could share what type of protein you like or dont like.... I am almost out of one of my buckets and I need to get some more. Thanks!
