Brown, don't lose hope! I know you say you are not THAT woman! As CGJ said, all body types are different. But just know that many, including Feed Your Eye, Coops, M2G, and others have never reached goal. They are close now and WILL but many were in very long term stalls or had gained upwards of 25-30 pounds since their lowest. Yes, I did reach goal very easily the FIRST TIME. Then I relaxed, fell into bad eating habits of junk and I'll be honest, it was not until I was facing a close to 30 pound weight gain that I truly got scared. I tried low carb for several months with no success and if you look back at posts from me around March or so of last year I truly sounded just like you! It was not until I hit on 5:2 that I found an answer for ME. And I kicked it around for about a month or so before really committing. The. I hit it with vengeance. It HAS to be if you really want something I feel really sure you will find what works for you. I would ask that you REALLY commit to 5:2 for another few weeks. And REALLY HIT IT HARD. What I found is that I had to drastically cut my feast day carbs and cals as well to KEEP the weight lost and move further down. Our bodies are metabolically altered and we cannot eat like others. That's what I think anyway All said to say, I believe in you! I know you want to be HEALTHY first and sexy second! . Go after it!!!!!

CGJ , we hijacked your thread. I, hope, at least we are keeping your mind off those depression, oh I mean, compression garments .

I think you are my twin sister! I could quote your exact comments. Lol My all time fav. "I've ONLY lost 85 pounds in 3 months? What's wrong with me?"

Update from last few days. Walked 4.1 today. Giving me a total of 55.5.

And um, how old were you? Just sayin. I think our butts age faster

Oh, yeah, Girl! I had to change positions SEVERAL TIMES on my way to WORK!!!! My tailbone, unfortunately, also extends longer than average! I can literally feel it all the time! My suggestion, buy you one of those padded butt thingy! LOL it might be worth it, though. And yes, I am 3 1/2 years out - below goal - I DID NOT REGAIN ANY BUTT FAT!

Girl, you weigh 109!!! That's amazing!!!! I def want to see pics. Take care and be a good girl!

M2G, my "unloading" of the lunch was a sleeve thing! That's what makes it so weird! I haven't done that in a year or more. So Mr. Sleevie is still very strict! And I say, "YAAAAYYYY!" LOL Well, I said yaay after i IMMEDIATELY felt wonderful that it was all gone! And just between me and you, my first thought was, "Oh, well, you didn't have to add all those calories to MFP!" BAHAHAHAHA!

Very interesting article today. Puts it all in perspective. Keep fighting the good fight, Peeps! Our health matters!! THIS is primarily why I chose WLS. My Mom had it all! http://health.yahoo.net/news/s/hsn/diabetes-may-outrank-weight-measurement-when-it-comes-to-weight-loss-surgery

And THIS is really why we are doing all this. Yep, I like the BMI too (and size 6/8!! LOL) But... http://health.yahoo.net/news/s/hsn/diabetes-may-outrank-weight-measurement-when-it-comes-to-weight-loss-surgery

Speaking of drive. How much does a recumbent (sic?) run $$. I'm thinking I want one.
