I do carb cycling now but i did try to stay under 20g of carbs a day when I was in the 'honeymoon' period.

Stop talking crap lol

I can't each much.. maybe 2 oz but steak every now and again is lush

Congratulations... feels great, doesn't it

I am amazed at what you can do when you set your mind to it

Perfect outcome

I have gone down 5 bra sizes and only one cup size but they look like droopy ears. Hence the breast lift in January. whohooooooo.

Yes... type 'stalls' into the search engine (there will be tons of posts on the subject) and remember you lost 21 llbs in two weeks which is amazing !! Congratulations

Love it !! lol

Really respect you for taking control back !

Wow thats amazing... inspiring!!! Congratulations

How is everyone getting on?

Congratulations ! You look great

@@viking girl Please don't... there are so many here who can advise and help others, just rememebr there will always be people who disagree and sometimes it comes across in a bad way.

Pack that scale away !! It will drive you nuts

*Hugs*. Hope its all sorted out and approved soon. Kate

Put the scales away for a month and even though its really hard don't focus on the weight showing up on the scale. I was a scale freak and ended up having to get my husband to hide it as it was driving me mad ! Keep a couple of outfits out which are a little snug on you and try them on every weekend and see how your body is changing. I had photos taken of myself nude, front, back and sides and every two months had new ones done and boy did I see a change even if the scale wasn't. If you are sticking to the rules, drinking enough Water, weighing everything you eat and moving during the day, it will work. It's disheartening when you see others weight dropping off but we are all so different and what works for one won't for another. Be kind to yourself

@@_bribri1001 I am 15 months out so it all seems a blur those first few weeks. I just wanted to say that each day is different and you are so very early in the 'game'. The one thing I did do during the liquid stage was not bother with the rule of 6 'meals' a day and stop after 20 minutes. I think I was either drinking Protein or Water non stop from the moment i got up to when i went to sleep. Tiny sips but it worked. Your body has had a hammering, give it time to recover and congratulations !! Keep us updated on how things are going for you Kate p.s. I never feel hungry even now but I know when I need to eat. It's an odd feeling but im grateful for it.

@@Anthony74 That was to your post not LL....

wow .......

You are doing amazing.... Be strong, break the cycle and you will be fine. You CAN do it !!

I used Centrum chewables, which you can actually suck to death under your tongue. I found them lovely and a nice treat. I never chewed them!

@AvaFern such a good heartfelt and supportive post !!! :D

Breathe. Relax and Breath again. I had 18 days of 3 or 4 drinks a day. Is it easy? No... but so worth it. I never thought I could do it but I did. See positives rather than negitaves. Repeat a mantra every day ( I CAN do this, I CAN do this ), keep busy and before you know it your surgery day will be here :-) Hugs Kate

I take a good multivitamin daily, Calcium with D3 x 3 times a day, and a B12 daily.
