Thanks for the tips!! I do love, love, love my Carbmasters!

well said Larraine! I love my support group meetings though I cut back on them because I have so much going on. Now I feel so out of the loop that I can't wait to back this coming Monday night!

ok, so you have gained 10 pounds. The first thing I would do would be start logging my intake on www.myfitnesspal.com. You say you don't seem to be eating anything out of the norm. Have you journaled your intake to see how many calories you are eating every day. I know for me, If I didn't keep track I could go way over!

good luck, excited to watch you lose!

Patty, that was the awakeing moment for me...not being able to tie my shoes and feeling so uncomfortable doing everyday, normal things. Now I am running circles around my family and I love it!!

I originally set my goal to 160 because I thought that was what I realistically could get to. Once I got there I set my goal to 150, then to 140. Once I reach 140 I will see how I feel and will prob aim for 135 just to say I lost an even 100. But honestly, I am happy where I am at and to stay under 160.

go to the post for myfitnesspal.com and add your fellow bandsters. There you will see what everyone is eating. Definitely gave me a few ideas for something new. My name is holbraden if you join.

You knew it wasn't a quick fix, so put on your big girl panties and stop the pity party. I too am a huge foodie. Was always thinking about what my next meal was going to be. And guess what? It hasn't changed for me. I still think about what I am going to have next. But that has been a huge benefit for me with my weight loss. I plan ahead and know where my calories are going to be. I log everything I eat and just started using myfitnesspal.com and love it. You should join if you haven't already. It's nice to see what other bandsters are eating and it may give you some new ideas too. My user name is holbraden if you want to join and add me. As far as your mother in law not having anything you can eat. Is it something that you like? Then measure, weigh it out and enjoy it. Unless of course it's food that gets stuck for you. I have brought my own food many places. It doesn't bother me and I enjoy every bite of everything I eat! Good luck to you.

Sounds like you need a little bit removed. I know it's a bummer, I have had to have fluid removed twice.

I don't see why not. I eat 3 oz protein in addition to veggies and sometimes a potato. Are you only eating a 3 ounce meal total weight?

I LOVE my dr. www.oliakcenter.com He has an office in Brea and Irvine. Surgeries are out of Placentia-Linda Hospital and Chapman Medical Center in Orange. Please check them out, everyone is great! Message me anytime!

they are only 10 calories each, but I am sure you would get tired of them if you ate a lot!
