I did cheat though I might do it again cause I haven't lost any weight for a month!

first 2 days shakes and soups next 3 days you add protein, I did it didn't lose any weight

It probably was a kind of dumping Coops it happened to me once after having something sweet as well. FAst heartbeat, sweat, and very nauseaous. I haven't lost any weight for a month by the way

I agree, I would say up your calories to around 800, maybe add some greens? I can't understand why he would say that and give you no specific guidelines. I am a slow loser, but i decided to go for a healthy balanced diet and not as low carbs as some people, because I believe this is going to be the way I am going to eat for the rest of my life.

O.M.G!!!!!!!!

Non scale victory

The odds of you dying in the next say 10 years from some obesity associated disease are much greater than you dying from theissurgery! Check the statistics and good luck

Me too! (I hardly recognised you you look so thin!)

Yey Coops!!!!!!! I am so happy for you! I needed to read something like this today cause I was feeling a bit low and sick of not losing anymore weight But in the same way as you I get at least one compliment a day and that keeps me going! Keep the dress, it will keep you motivated

I agree, i was impressed when i went to NY a few years ago. I live in England but lived in the USA for the furst 9 years of my life (wasn't overweight as a child) But I told my husband I was glad I didn't live in the States anymore could I would probably be dead from some obesity related disease. Having said that apparently england is folowin the US in obesity, but the portions of food here are 1/4 of the ones i got in NY/NJ!!

I had a love affair with food for 30+ years, seriously. You'll love your sleeve even better though, I promise

so true!! i started body pump todat with some weights, never had the confidence to do it before, loved it and loved the endorphin effect afterwards that is lasting all day!!

I know this won't help, just had to answer cause I'm a Catholic. I've got my tubes tied after 3 children and 3 C-sections, so it isn't a problem for me. Good luck in what you choose to do!

Just made a yum salad for dinner: Crumbled feta cheese Raisins Grated carrots iceberg lettuce cucumbers A tiny bit of dressing, (low cal mayonnaise + natural greek yoghurt)

FAntastic Irene, youll bee in Onederland in no time!!

You're gonna get there before you even realise, good luck!

BBJ has 4 pounds to go and she eats more than 1200 a day but works out a lot, i asked her and this is what she said: BlackBerryJuice 15 Jan 2011 - 19:10 Hey, Thanks for the compliment! I don't count calories at all, mostly due to the fact that my boyfriend and I eat out a lot, so a lot of the time it's hard to make an accurate estimate of how much I'm eating. I do know that on days I only eat homemade food, I'll fluctuate between 1000 and 1800, I'd say 1200-1400 is where I'm at on most days? I also work out 4-5 times a week, though I'm def going to watch The Black Swan!

Yey!!!!!!!!

I mean 1000 not 100

Well done!! You can only be successful as you are so positive and have a wonderful personality that shines through this forum!!!

Went out with my friend today shopping, as we do most saturdays while our girls are at ballet classes, for the first time ever (she pointed this out, not me) I actually went into the changing rooms, tried a few trousers on compared them with hers, just normal things! I used to buy stuff that i thought would fit and them just change/or return them if i didn't like them. I didn't buy anything, I'm in between a size 14 and 12 (12 and 10 US) Priceless!

Just had a tiny slice of margarita pizza and having a cosmopolitan...
