Congrats!

thanks!!

That's the only thing we can do. Keep moving forward girl.

I won't even lie I slipped on the carbs and man old habits are sneaking in on me. I need to get a grip and seriously drop the carbs, well processed carbs for a couple of months. Too much hard work to throw it all away now!

VEronica, you've answered your own question. What matters is that you now know your direction. Best wishes.

We all stumble, so don't beat yourself up. So the good news is that now you know what to do to rectify it.

Why?

Its not a bad thing that the honeymoon is over. It gives you the reality check that this is work. You know what to do.

I'm hating the old feeling of not losing and trying really hard, feeling the old well its not working just give up montage coming back. I'm doing a huge pouch reset recommended to me by my surgeon. Its for two weeks and I will tell you I'm having the pre op headaches and head hunge. I'll get through it just tough not losing anything for month on end.

Don't buy it! Today I went to GNC and bought a protein cookie because I've been craving cookies. I have planned my entire day eating around this cookie. I just reuse to give in to mindless eating anymore. If I am going to snack, it ill be with a purpose. Plan, plan, plan! You've come too far to stop now.

Eat your protein first. Then wait 30-45 minutes. You still want that treat? Fine. But it doesn't mean the treat can have *you.* Take 3 to 4 bites and put it away. If you can't deal with it sitting their staring at you (you know how some foods seem to have accusing eyes) then toss it out or stick it in the freezer or do any of the alternative behaviors you've developed for yourself. LOG your treat. Better yet, LOG it before you eat it. Look at the numbers. Still want it?

Thanks for the encouragement...I know what my problem i. Old habits I don't see progress so I slip back into the old way of thinking and it says screw it just eat whatever it doesn't matter. I locked up all the junk food and gave the key to my family so I don't have access to it. Tomorrow is a new day! You guys are my rock!

Thank you for the link!!!

You are welcome, very good stuff there, but I know not for everyone.

Change things up!

I did. I did the liquid diet with you lost two lbs

I am in the same boat. I am actually gained 5 lbs. I ate cookies, but not enough to gain 5!

I would never eat another bite LOL

I remember a tabloid that said Nicole Kidman does this...

I did it three times last week two bites in I was like I'm done......

Its not my goal weight or anything its just so I can be under 200 lbs finally. Its been a long road and that is a huge goal for me. I'm proud of how far I've come but we all have that one huge goal we want to achieve and that is mine!

That makes sense..

I wish you well on that venture!!!

thank you very much and on your road to life o healthy living too!

You're not alone. I also gained four mystery pounds this week.

The earth is sideways!

Yea I'm noticing i'm not the only one...kinda stinks, Its like wth right?

me too and I have gotten off track and the scale has moved VERY little in the last month.

I'm doing a pouch test starting Monday. I spent the whole weekend being kinda naughty so back on track I go!

I've always been the largest person at any event that I've gone to, and I want to healthier and smaller...I don't skinny is even in the cards for me. I can't ever remember being skinny, even when I was a child, I was always big for my age.

I'm currently the smallest person in my family. It feel quite good cause even though I've never been the biggest I was made fun of for being a girl and still being heavy. The great thing now is I'm a girl, smaller, and I can run two miles none stop. Its great!

Woohoo! I can run 2 miles at a time too! Isn't it great?

Congratulations !!

Congratulations!!!

congrats!!

Get it gurl! You got this!

Yes yes I do cause I lost it today! yay!

I am stuck atm as well. Hang in there, it will happen, just stick to the plan!

Stalls test us, that's for sure. My bariatric group has never mentioned them. Thanks to this site we know stalls are part of this experience. We are not alone!

I'm chronically tired too now due to my anemia which has gotten worst so I think that has something to do with it!

Yay!

Are you walking and drinking lots of fluids A?

Yea I'm drinking tons of water and I run 4 miles a day..... just a stubborn stall.

The puke part is just a steep learning curve, you get over it. The human body is very good at learning ways not to get sick

Good for you!

lol I do the stair master and the treadmill every single day I just hate the running bit. No need for it! Just sounds exhausting

I bounce and jiggle too much. margaritas are not to be shaken ONLY stirred.

lol that's too funny!

Thanx...

You're not too shabby yourself...

lol thanks
