Keep up the good work! I was 282 when I started 3 years ago - down to 185 and loving the size 12 jeans. I still go for that extra large size and it was so nice to hear he sales lady tell me that I'm bigger than I think I am. I know I've lost the weight, but my mind still sees that size 22 person. I've been stuck at this weight for a long time, but hey size 12 who would have thought!!!!

I am the same way - mornings are the worst and yes, I don't eat until the afternoon. Can't get anything down in the morning except a few sips of hot tea. I was so frustrated and stressed that I couldn't eat so the Dr. took everything out to let my stomach rest. I gained 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Guess I didn't learn anything. Now I'm back to where I was as far as liquid goes and having a hard time eating. I'm not going to have them take anything out until I lose the 10 pounds I gained (down 4 so far). But I don't understand the ups and downs - eating some days, not others. The dr. did tell me stress has a lot to do with it but it's very hard to talk yourself out of being stressed. Sorry - just rambling here, but wanted you to know I sympathize!
