Good job Jerz !!!

Thanks!

What can we take for a cold? Babysat a sneezing coughing baby this weekend and now feel a cold coming on. I'm pissed cuz her mom knew she was sick and didn't tell me and I didn't realize the baby was sick til she left. Being pregnant, I have a weaker immune system and try to avoid sick ppl. I feel horrible and have no appetite.

76 lbs gone!!

GW????? Just want to look healthy

Super frustrated to be stalling-knew it would happen at some point, but apparently I also gained a couple pounds! I was even drinking a ton of water...however my protein intake wasn't too great. That being said, I usually do pretty good with food in the morning, but want to snack in the evening. I know what I "should" do-but darn if I can follow through. I'm still exercising, even though what I can do with my knee injury is limited. Where are the days a couple months ago when I just didn't care about food at all???

I am in the same boat girl!

Am I the only one who has lost less that 40lbs in 5 months?? I am so discouraged that it is just ridiculous. I had my surgery on Jan 30 2013. Day of surgery I weighed 286 today I weigh 250. I am sooo done. My doctor does not see a problem. Yet I have not found anyone anywhere who has had this procedure and lost so little intially. Please someone tell me that there is someone else out there like me.

I have been on an all protein diet since 1/29. I know that's helped.

So sorry-its so frustrating!!! We're all going at a different pace, and I'm afraid mine is slow too. I've lost about 52. I was almost 240 DOS, am now 188. I was 186.8, but gained about 2lbs and stalled in the last two weeks.

I know part is related to my hypo-thyroid, part to not getting in enough protein. I do exercise regularly but not super heavily. My caloric intake is steady at 900, but sometimes I get "the snackies" in the late afternoon/evenings, and it's not "good" food that I snack on.

I think we go into this knowing it will be hard, hope it will be easier than what we've done before, get excited at losses, then when we face stalls it's even more disappointing.

What does an all protein diet consist of?

I have been drinking one protein drink a day. Usually for breakfast. Lunch almonds and string cheese. Dinner usually 4 oz of meat

My surgeon has had me in this diet since my surgery and I haven't incorporated fruits or veggies until I have hit 75% of my weight loss. I have 9 lbs.

That's very restrictive but awesome that you're able to do it. what did you start at and where are you now?
