I need to find my fat pants so I can do that one day!!! Those pictures were just awesome!!! WAY to GO!!!

Awesome post Diva!

Thanks, that is very interesting!!!

Jeans, jeans, jeans!!!

I think that my favorite thing when my little one was born was all of the onesies! I didn't have to wash her clothes for over a week. New mom's do not have time to wash clothes. I noticed a lot of people posting about the Boppy Pillow... if your friend is a big girl, I would not recommend that. I bought one since everyone raved about it, and it wouldn't go around my big body the right way. How did you girls that are bigger get that to work? GOOD LUCK!!!

You are sounding like you are in the same boat as me. I hope we can get through this and leave this head hunger junk behind! (sorry about your hubby's wreck, my hubby had his wallet stolen the same day!)

I just called my Dr.'s office because I have been suspecting that I need a little more fill. I can eat A LOT more than I could after my first fill and I am getting really really hungry in between. I still am not eating what I did before, but I think I need a little more of the sweet stuff. The appt isn't until Feb 2, so I have time to get it in gear and see what I need. Thanks for the encouragement Lisa!!! (BTW-got the catalog in the mail, hubby can't put it down, I will be contacting you at the end of the week for an order)

Lisa~ I need a swift kick in the ass! From anyone??? Any takers??? Please tell me I can do this. I am just feeling like I will never lose any more weight!!!

Dr. Spivak is my Dr. and I can't recommend anyone else. He is just awesome!

sunta, Have you seen Oprah without make up? She looks older and more wrinkly. :rofl:

Wendell, that is just so awesome!!! Truly an inspiration!!! We would love to see some before and during pictures! CONGRATS!!!! Keep up the great work.

Yes, please post pictures and tell us your size before and after. Awesome!!!

Has anyone else heard that caffeine just hides your hunger and will make you more hungry later? (therefore you will eat more later) Someone told me this the other day.

DeLarla, Seems like I am following you everywhere!! Sorry!!! But, girl, we could be twins!!!! Your stats match mine EXACTLY!!! The big bone structure, I don't wear watches either and I wear a size 11 shoe!!! I agree with Marimaru that 190-200 will be great for us... (notice my goal says 180) I think I change my goal daily, but when I get to 199, I will be a very happy woman!!!

It is AWFUL that she is depriving your children of seeing her. My hubby's dad is the same way (different circumstances) He will NEVER see our daughter but that is his choice. Maybe you could email her and tell her that it is fine if she can not forgive you and hubby but her grandkids need her and want to see her!!! Some people are SO hard headed!!!

I am interested in your point DeLarla... My mom does Atkins and has lost and successfully maintained her weight. She has lost over 100pounds. She will have to eat that way for the rest of her life to maintain that... and I really think she will. She has maintained her loss for over 3 years. I wouldn't even call her overweight any more. She is skinny. It seems like I had found a comparison of the low carb and low calorie... and if you eat the right carbs... they really are low cal... I think I will do the low carb for one week, really strict and post what I eat.... Maybe someone can help me find Calories if I can not. DELARLA~ I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE I will start a new thread tomorrow!!!

I knew someone would come back and tell me my breakfast wasn't low carb... I know that I had a very weak morning... I am starting fresh this very moment... Trying to make a grocery list of low cal stuff to buy!!!

Awesome!!! Way to go. I had a shirt that I put on for the first time in over a year and the same thing... The buttons DID not fly off and poke people in the eyes!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!

Thanks DeLarla, I am really going to start counting the calories and see what I can do to jump start some more weight loss.

This thread is very interesting! My Dr. and I did not discuss a goal weight. I remember the last time I was under 200lbs was in the 5th grade when I was 175lbs. I don't know where my weight loss will take me, but I do know that I would love to buy normal clothes and not 3X and plus sized jeans. I do care what the scale says but then again, if I was a size 8 and the scale said 400 would I really care? I am 5'10" and I see some people posting their goal for that height is 150... I personally would look way too skinny at that weight. I want to be curvy and just want to feel good. We are all different and have different body types. I KNOW that at 200 pounds I will be a FOX!!! BUT, I will still be medically too fat! Who cares? ??? When that scale says 199, I am throwing the BIGGEST Party ever!!! (sorry for the long post)

You have a GREAT point DeLarla... I needed this wake-up call from you! I am brainwashed by carbs and do not ever look at calories!!! I just looked up how many calories are in the Sausage biscuit I had for breakfast!!!! OWWWWWWWW!!!! 410!!!! It didn't list the calories for the French vanilla Capp, but I am SURE it was close to 1000!!! So, I guess I had better not eat for the rest of the day Someone please tell me what low calorie foods are??? I don't know. All I know is low carb!!!

Those gas pains are bad! It seemed like nothing would make mine go away. Good Luck and Welcome!

I don't know if this is what you wanted... I tried tho!

Follow your Dr.'s instructions and let them know that you have a week tummy. They can probably prescribe something for you. Congrats!!!

It sounds like you are doing great without a fill. Save your fill and money for when you need it.
