Hi All, I'm still in it. just haven't lost any thing of late. Figured out what was going wrong-- hope to change my line soon!!

Hi All my Goal for March is the same as for Feb- #245. Lost :mad2:zilch in Feb. but the med changes made me tired :sleep:and i started grazing :confused:. So here i go again !!

Well, only lost 1# this week. but it's bettere than going down.

JoanMarie, Trina, and Auggies, i'm in the same boat. Had 2 fills for a total of 5cc. do well for a week-10 days then no restrictions. Am getting concerned, the Doctor took me off the BP RX as it was so low but other meds make me crave salt - then i feel like I ate too much . last 2 days have been horrid.

My list changes - want a pair of real shoes- no birkiew, clogs, or crocs want to swim in a nice swimsuit. have a great pair of jeans

Congrats all!! For me, this week, ithe jeans i bought 3 weeks ago are beginning to feel loose. (Any change is a victory !)

Hi All, i think it's the weather and the lull after all the changes. i had my 2nd fill (started yoyoing again)- and am on track, again.

Hi All, Maybe it isn't just us-let's blame the weather. :thumbup: i, too, gained 3# :mad2:this week when i went for my 2nd fill. But have lost that and 1 # more. i may not make 250 by next Sunday but i am still losing.:tt2:

Wow, you are all doing great!. I seem to be able to eat more than 1 cup - so get my 2nd fill on Wed.

gentylwind, Am so sorry for your loss. We have all missed opportunities with our children, family, and friends because our weight ( or related health problems) got in the way. Please don't focus on your losses and the past ; you should always remember your child but focus on the future wins.:thumbup:

Hi, Everyone is doing so well! :thumbup:Still at 257, even with salt binging- :thumbdown:I am trying full liquids with 1 meal for the day to see if i can stop this craving.

:scared2:Off All BP meds and they cut my inhalant in half. :smile:giving all the old (fat) work clothes to local groups that help women ( abused, or with other problems) get a job.

Want to buy lingerie from Victoria's Secret Want to swim in a regular swimsuit; Want to wear real shoes- no more Birkenstock or clogs.

Hi, Per the scale, Am down 3# this week, from 260 to 257. But on a salt binge. My BP was so low, they took me off all the BP meds this week and cut 1 inhalant in 1/2. No longer light-headed but still "'Want Salt!" :crying:Am thinking of doing full liquids for a day to break this obsession-any advice out there?

:thumbup:Hi All, ready for the next challenge. find it helps stay on task. Hit 257 # this morning so met my goal + 4 #more. Also gave away my Fat Fat work clothes and any thing i really don't want to wear again . Off All BP meds, too!!!

pcmfarm, Good Luck. From what others and I found to be true- it takes a while for the fill to 'kick in'. Had my 1st fill on the 4th- it really hit today- :eek:when I was back on a regular diet.BUT IT WORKS!!:crying:

Some things i won't miss-- BP meds, CPAP machine, sore feet knees, and ankles, being too tired to do anything. thigh friction. Not speaking up 'cause you don't want (or feel like you deserve) attention.:thumbup: avoiding swimming and other sports - cause of my size

Doxie, My Starting Weight in February was 269#. my goal was to get below 260- but am at 260 now:thumbup: - so let's shoot for 250#by the end of Feb. I seem to stay at a wt for a while, then lose suddenly

Hi, I got stuck if I took too big a bite, or if the food tends to stick- Pita bread had me barfing the the restroom of the greek restaurant. rice in soup , did it to me tonight.

Florida Pete, is it the oatmeal or the sugar often added to oatmeal they object to? All food has some carbs. oatmeal is also high in fiber, and B vitamins - talk to a registered dietitian. The new term may be nutritionist but one doesn't need training or a license to be a nutritionist, but a dietitian does. If the concern is the about possibility of sticking- Try Cream of Wheat- also with fiber but finer grained and less likely to get stuck.- again add your own SF sweetener. Myself, really am rushed in the AM and stick to some protein in milk.

:mellow:Hi, My wishes are 1) a swim suit that isn't a butt ugly, fat lady, flouncy, flowery mess; 2)shop in a real store , not Catherine's;and 3) get off the CPAP machine

MRS Mauricio, It was a # of factors for me. I'd yo-yo'd all my life, but relatively healthy.My knees hurt and but not too bad, until 2007 ended up on a bunch of pills, developed asthma, which i couldn't shake. They started talking about using Oxygen at home :w00t:and I'd had enough of being sick. Am much better now but have a ways to go.

UKCATSFAN, I am in it for the next challenge- set a new deadline. Lost 1 more #. Seems like i get stuck for a while then the #s come off overnight...
