How are you coping after your surgeries? I said on another post if be dead at almost 400lbs. Due to the health issues I already had at 200+ apparently that's offensive to those nearly 400lbs. But that's my truth. I was already on my way to a stroke and I was only 250 at hieghest. My body was under alot of stress. I don't feel I'm meant to be large. I just forced it but my body couldn't take it lol.

You know what. If you like toast have it. Those carbs won't stop you from dropping. I was only saying I'd ditch it. As then I can save the calories as it doesn't do much. But you need to enjoy life too lol. I'm not doing low carb and I've lost over 50 lbs in 3months. I don't intentionally do low carb. But they are not high. You need to do what is sustainable for you that's important. I used to eat alot of bread. So it's shocking I don't eat it now even though I'm allowed lol

That menus does sound lovely! I would have ditched the toast perhaps. But sounds really nice

Weldon and good luck. You will get there and pass it so fast! I was so busy celebrating 198 I didn't realise I was at 190 not long after lol it's surreal. Keep up the good work.

It's a really odd question. Recently I've been feeling more confident in my self. When usually I never think I look good. I've gone from a UK size 22 to a 14 ( I don't like tight fitted) and people are acting different around me. You know.. people tell you people change. So sure it's a confidence boost. All the compliments.. But then I get on the scale. And I'm 190lbs. I've never been 190lbs before from 250ish so it feels like I'm doing good. But now I realise in the whole scheme of things I'm still pretty big compared to other people lol its a shame so I feel self conscious again.. My mind still feels like a fatty. ( No offense id only call myself that. Everyone else is lovely know matter what size. )It's just in myself and how my body feels I feel so different! It's odd Does anyone get it lol?

No problem I'm no expert. Only 4 months post. I've seen that too.. I stay under 800 and weight loss is rapid. But you will find what works. I don't do any excersise. Perhaps I'd need more if I moved more. You can do this. What will your meals be ? At 206 I would say your body is not done losing ( I don't know your height but I was feeling quite big still then as I'm only 5 foot 2. But you have lost so much your body needs to catch up. So give it time

1250 is a very high intake for most people ( females) so it's not suprising you have stalled. You may have lost on that at first but maybe you should receive evaluate.

How much do you weigh ? What is your height. And how long did it take you to loose that ? You look fab

Eating something you shouldn't have.. followed by the urge to use laxatives? Worrying. Be safe. Your quite early our just try and focus on not eating the things you shouldn't so you won't feel sluggish .. it won't last long. Hope you feel better.

thanks so much. I can't imagine being 180 but I didn't imagine being 190 either lol

Wow your not even that tall. I'm even more confused ha. You look amazing. And your right it's hard not to focus on numbers. My goal is 135lbs if I still look fat then I'll be devastated. How's your little one doing ?

Who's going to help you and the kids when you first come home if he's sleeping? Is he having a few days off ?

My weight fluctuates between 192-194lbs 9 week goal..hmm... 180lbs? Is that realistic? I'm not the fastest loser

Its honestly not hard with kids. Like I made my toddlers pasta with a nice tomatoe sauce with corn and meat balls and cheese. I made the meatballs in the oven. Before throwing in the pot with everything. My meatballs are separate so I'll just have the meatballs and some sauce. So I always Cook the meat separate. I'm allowed pasta on my plan but don't crave it. Good luck with your goal! You can do it!!

1I had over 100+lbs to lose and now 57lbs left just four months in. Your right I'm not interested in fancy food. But my food does taste delicious or I wouldn't be able to eat it. I love halloumi cheese and cucumber at the moment so I use two slices of cucumber and some fried halloumi in the middle like alittle sand which the hot cheese with cold cucumber is so nice.

I bet there are successful people who make fancy recipes. I just prefer to keep it simple as that's just me. But if your a foodie and you enjoy cooking it won't hold you back trying a variety of things. I just don't like variety. I make a million meat balls in the oven. And just eat that with some cheese and spinach till its finished . I can't be bothered spending along time cooking for the sake of a few bites lol

40lbs .. 7 weeks.. Wants to lose more rapidly? Not judging. Answer this. Have you ever lost 40lbs in 7 weeks in your life ? I think you need to tamper with your expectation gage. Its letting you down. When you lower your expectations you will see how well you have done. I also don't want others to read this post who have lost less and they start to worry.

4 months post : cooking for my self is very simple. I cook for my kids but if there not here I don't Cook.

ONLY lost 30lbs in 9 weeks? You ever lost 30lbs in that amount of time before? I have no idea what people are expecting but never heard only for that amount before.

I hear you ! Go ahead and start one. I enjoy them what's this challenge from what to what date.

Take your time. What are you trying to eat? Soft food. No rush take your time. I'm 4months post

I'm sorry your daughter is unwell its understandable you'd stress eat. Weldone for having the power to stay on track. How tall are you ? I'm confused as I'm 192lbs and look so fat . you look nice and slim you must be tall. I'm 5 foot 2.

Its odd that the way you write is quite poetic. How much do you weigh now. What does your doctor think? Sorry your suffering and congrats on the baby

I didn't say a bowl of rice. But for MY stomach it would. As rice would expand in my stomach take to much space and make me bloated and nauseous. If it works for you fine.

Baby food for more nutrition? That's a new one .. Baby food doesn't meet an adults nutrients need my plan says. I bought it to try. Tasted like crap though. Baby rice ? I dont even eat rice now 4 months out. This early were is the nutrition in baby rice ? I just pureed real food. Some veggies ( yuck) tuna mayo chicken mayo and so on. Every plan is different but that would Not be a good worth while option for me in the puree stage.
