Hi all, I've decided I can literally eat anything I want and the scale will either A): Not budge or B: Go down. It doesn't make any sense. I can eat super healthy and stay the same or eat chocolate cake and junk food all day and lose a pound. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I don't particularly want to lose anymore right now. I'm pretty happy with where I'm at. Anyone else have this "problem". How do you STOP losing weight?

@@VSGAnn2014 I've never heard of him. I guess since It won't be covered by insurance I can pick which ever hospital I want. I am going to do a couple consults. I know Dr Reynolds did a great job with my daughters lip when she had a granuloma cut off. I am going to speak with him too. I just hate getting naked in front of all these people. I'm sure they will any to see the goods. ;(

I'm also still waiting to see if I will need jaw surgery and that appointment will be in January. I'm concerned about that. I don't want to waste away with my mouth wired shut. I get my palate expander put in next Wednesday. I'm just hoping that will work and I won't need surgery.

Yeah, you're gonna have to get naked for this.

@@VSGAnn2014 Well that makes me feel better...not the naked part but the good surgeon part.

We (my daughter and I) are going to be baking cookies today. Wish me luck!

My son asked me yesterday if I was going to make Christmas cookies this year. I told him I would make them on Christmas Eve because I don't want them around for too long. This is my first holiday watching what I eat and I'm kind of looking forward to January as far as the food part of the holidays is concerned - it's exhausting trying to avoid the temptations.

@@Elode i remember seeing a pic of your tummy a while back. I would love mine to look like that! glad to see you back on BP.

@@Elode I can remember being like that. Once I got closer to goal, it seemed like there was less I could do to impact the scale. While I worked at losing, it was fairly easy. Now, at three years out, I've noticed another alarming trend. My weight is creeping up, and it seems I am unable to impact that, too. Staying around the same calories or less than I used to, and I can't seem to drop the 5-6 pounds that have crept on since last May. I swear it feels like a switch flipped or something and I am going to weigh 300 pounds again, and I will be powerless to stop it! I stayed at 1100 calories for two weeks and nothing came off. I guess I'm to have drop back to 900 to see if that works.

@@BestDayEver We made a few dozen and I ate one so I'm pretty happy about that. I don't have much of an appetite lately. The husband and I aren't doing so well so I don't feel like eating. Keep up the willpower. Nothing taste as good as a new pair of smaller jeans feels!

@@jane13 Thank you. It's not great but it's to be expected. I still need a tummy tuck.

@@MichiganChic I'm sure I will hit that too. Im trying not to, I'm emotional overwhelmed right now so I just want to eat junk but I'm trying not to.

This would be me with my daughter making cookies. I'm not "skinny" I feel like I'm ok proportionately. I don't want to be a stick. I like curves. I would like to stay this way. My daughter is 128 lbs but she's a bit shorter.

You look perfect!

You look awesome. You're curvy like I am. I also need to say your sweater is amazing....

My weight is constant too and it doesn't seem to matter what I do or eat. I'm wondering if it's absorption thing. But then, I really just don't eat much these days!
