CHM

Been there many many times in my life. I cannot figure out why I go back because I really don't even like them anymore. The only thing that helps me is stopping them completely and then slowly introducing good carbs back in.

I put some cottage cheese in a small bowl, add Stevia, cinnamon plus vanilla essence, top it off with custard. This fixes my sugar cravings.

I was also advised to take 2 Psyllium husk capsules, about 20-30 mins before consuming carbs, apparently by adding fibre it can ease off the craving for more carbs. This was from my Thyroid support group. Just go the capsules today, may try it tonight or tomorrow.

Good luck @CHM Carbs and sugar are Evil!

Friday...

So....

How was your December?

Much better than my January, thats for damn sure...

Oh, and where did the straw go ?

Congrats!! That is a great feeling!

Thank you very much everyone. I truly appreciate the support. And I have to say...I think this is my favourite milestone so far! =D

Thank you so much everyone. It took over two frustrating months to get through the last 10 lbs to get here, but I'm here!!

Congratulations!

Stop, close your eyes and remember the way you felt when you saw that 19*. on the scale readout. Wasn't that priceless???? Remember and never forget. You're worth it. You deserve it. Enjoy it!

@KindaFamiliar

You are just too much sometimes...

Thank you. <3

OMG! So impressive. Respect!

You're doing so well, keep it up!!!

Hey. As long as you are getting at least halfway there, you're gravy. That's all I could do for most of my first year. Why should it matter if you drink it or eat it?

At the very least I'll hit my protein goal every day if I'm drinking it!

I've found that liquid diets that allow you to meet your protein goal is so much easier!! Good luck!!!

16 months out and no appetite...

I'm wth you C...

About time you showed up, KF! You're needed here!!!! Do something...

CHM, NEVER change anything . I like you just the way you are. ---and I LOVE your profile picture.

Good job love...

Congratulations! Awesome result! The stall shifted, great news xxx

Great Job! You've lost a whole woman. Do you miss her?

I bet not

How very multicultural and inclusive of you...

You're so PC...

Queensland winter is like Northern European summer .... Only had heating on for 1 day so far. Love this weather

You can wish us Happy Election Day

well you aren't losing really anyway so you don't have much to lose increasing your calories. If you laid in bed all day and didn't move, someone of your height and weight burns 1900 calories a day just being alive. So if you are burning any calories with any type of movement and exercise, you have an over 1000 calorie a day deficit. your body is going to cling to the weight like it has been. jmo

Touché - I suppose you're right. If I'm not losing anyway then what does it matter if I increase my calories again. If I start gaining again I'll just cut it back down. Better a stall than a gain!

I think I was at the 6 month mark and had to increase to 1000 after a 6 week stall. It worked for a long time and then I bumped to 1100 and finally 1200. Now at 21months post op I have had to increase again because I continue to lose even after I hit goal.

All you can do is try it for a week and see if it helps break your stall.

As it should be...

Finally set up a time for @KindaFamiliar?

How reserved??

Very!!

I am with you on the assholes types @CHM

Still hate paperwork, and the assholes who make mistakes with my carefully filled out forms ....

When I was with the airlines, I had handcuffs and baton to use if needed ....

Offloaded few assholes straight into the police waiting at the terminal, and dobbed few into customs as well!

Karma can be so sweet at times

ME!!!!!! I really wish I worked with dogs instead of people! My favorite sweatshirt "DOGS - because people suck!"!

Yes, dogs are better because they wag their tails and not their tongues!

Not ever...

good surgery and recovery. GOAL, i MUST keep doing what i've been doing every day for the rest of my life- no ifs and or buttttts!!- no stopping til the day and die +1 LOL - kathy

Aww. Can I put you on staff as my resident ego booster?

Dear Hair.....Stay on her head - and I MEAN IT!

THANK you!

Now if only they would listen...

Glad we could entertain you. Lol

That will be $10 for the peep show, please.

Hell for the way I smiled at this conversation between 2 hotties I'd gladly pay 100! It was awesome! Thanks ladies!

Instead of being full of sh*t.

Instead of being full of sh*t.

Yes. Knowing sh*t is far superior to being full of sh*t. Always.

"If I lay here...

If I just lay here..."

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I speak only for myself when I say - Yes, yes I would...

"Now that we're here it's so far away

And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive

And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today"

Indeed. =)

big aaron lewis fan right here!

Glad it's all good.

Perhaps the time for talking is over..

Perhaps it is...

If it comes thru a straw, then swallowing is good too, right?

No chewing required...

Omg @LipstickLady you almost made me shoot jerky out my nose!!!

Yes @jane13 swallowing anything from a straw is good. Desirable even!

Penis owner checking in.

And yes....I'll agree that swallowing is great and that spitters are quitters.

I hadn't tried it yet. I am pretty happy with my chocolate unjury.

RTD. Yuck yuck yuck. And if it wasn't bad enough down, the aftertaste was even worse.

I'm the minority, but I loved the green tea version. But it's too expensive now, but when I first started it was perfect.
