I say I am slow by forum standards, but according to doc and nut I am where I need to be. I work out 5/6 days a week some days I eat 40 carbs some days I eat 80. Some days my calories are less than 800 somedays they are near 1000. I think what people need to remember is our journeys are all individual. I am pleased with MY progress and that is all that matters. Of course the post with someone saying they loss 50lb in 3 months gets attention because pre sleevers hope that will be them and post sleevers are wishing that was them. It just creates a vicious cycle of disappoint. I am not saying that person should not post their success , but people should be realistic and need to understand this process is different for us all. I stopped hanging around the boards because other people's whining about their slow weight loss had me doubting myself!

We live in Vegas and have a pool in our backyard...so while I don't have to deal with being in public, this year I am going to do away with the t shirt that I wore over my bathing suit last year...happy you are enjoying shopping

Start taking pictures of yourself in the same outfit every month...then you can compare side to side...and you will see the differences for sure. 70lbs is a lot of weight! I do agree with Melissa also...if this continues seek help. Those thoughts can lead to depression and then to other things. I see a psychologist monthly (because I was a binge eater). I love going actually...good insight, someone to talk to etc. And it is always the case....where you see yourself every day so it is hard to see the changes...where as someone who might see you once a week...the changes are more prominent to them. But you have done awesome!!!

You already look younger!!!

Good luck with everything. I wish I came home skinny. I love how children think. Soon the 2 of you will be roller bladeing together.

Wow I thought I was the only one! I was walking through the mall last night and out of know where a guy says hey your hott can I have your number?... I had a puzzled look on my face probably and was like ummm what?? I recently broke up with my ex of 9 years / daughter's father. I am only 25 so being single... and hit on, it's strange and awkward! I haven't had my surgery yet, but judging by other that have been through surgery... you will be hit on more, and men will want your number. I think once our confidence is back to where it should be... most of them time it should just put a smile on our face and we are being noticed. Last night after I was like umm what I said thanks and just kept on walking.

Thank you! I tried to make protein popsicles with pudding and protein powder and they did not work out too well

I reread my post and I don't see any judgment passed on anyone. You seem to be the one jumping to conclusions. AND if you've read any of my other posts, you would have known that everything I write has a humorous twist to it. Haters gotta Hate. :-)

I keep a bowl of cucumber, peppers, and onions in vinegar in my fridge at all times. Then when I can't fight the beast that is head hunger it is something very low in calories. It usually does the trick for me.

It really can not hurt to find a behavior therapist to visit once in a while. Mostly everybody who goes through the process feels like you and I do! But- if you find a professional to talk to--- you will be very pleased.
