Trying But Worried!
Sounds like self sabatosh. We have all been through it at one point or another or we probably wouldn't be where we are today. You have to make a choice what do you want more do you want health and to feel and look great. Or do you want to be stuck in the rut for the rest of your life. 15 pounds is nothin compared to the big pic... RIGHT!!!! So I say do it. Get the motivation. Dance around your living room mi e move move. Ask your self will my world end if I don't eat this. Ect. I believe in you and I think you can do this.....

Rapid Weight Loss The First Weeks?
- Coconut Milk
Yes love it.- Rapid Weight Loss The First Weeks?
Some times when you lose so rapidly your body needs time to catch up. So just because the pounds are not coming off does not mean that the inches are not. The scale is just a number. Go by the way your clothes are feeling and how your body is feeling. I know how much seeing a number helps I was addicted to the scale and would get so discouraged if I didn't see a change in numbers. Finally I had a mental breakdown and now try to only weigh myself once or twice a week because I was going insane. You will do great just do what your suppose to and it will all work out. Surgery date 08/01/12- Surgery
How are you feeling today???? - Coconut Milk
