Im so glad everyone is getting NSV's! Yayyy for us julysters. Dezadoo, you got an nsv too but just didn't know it.

Does anyone else think about BMI much? My husband outweighs me by about 50 lbs. but his BMI is about 30 but he's broad and muscular. My BMI is currently 38, I can't wait until mine is 30 so that im the same fatness as my hubby lol. Im sick of being the chubby one in the relationship. I can't wait until I don't look like the fattest one in pictures anymore. I'm on a 5 day challenge starting today and ending on Friday, I'm not going to eat any sugar!

Stephanie, I totally agree with you, protein makes you not feel as hungry. Its so odd! But true. I remember when they used to say eat lots of complex carbohydrates.. lol nowonder America ended up getting fatter and fatter. But I just can't give up my carbs completely lol. Pre band I did the Atkins diet (low carb) and was pretty successful on it I lost about 40 pounds pretty quickly but eventually I just felt like I couldn't live without carbs and I ended up gaining all my weight right back plus some more. Thats why now Im trying to eat a little of everything but focusing on having more protein. And Im trying really hard to make rules and boundaries for myself like drinking LOTS of water, not eating anything after 6:00 pm, eating the healthy stuff first like protein and vegetables and then having just a bite or two of the tasty carbs I like so much. I really hope it works! I just have to share a NSV I had today too, earlier this summer I ordered some T-shirts online and they were a size 2x but they are the tight fitting kind so they are more like a 1x or XL even.. and of course they looked terrible on my fat rolled tummy hanging over the tops of my too tight shorts so I never wore them. Then today it was kind of cool/breezy outside so I put on a pair of jeans that are now loose yay! and thought Id try on one of the T'shirts and oh my goodness it fit and was a bit roomy even!! Oh happy day.

Hi! Thank goodness this site is back up. Missed you all so much and reading the threads. I had chinese tonight yum!! I never know if im going to lose weight or not lol. One day I at a bunch of mexican food, and a DQ small hotfudge sundae for supper and the next day I was down a pound. Then yesterday I ate totally healthy skinless baked chicken, steamed broccoli etc kept below 1000 calories even and nada.. whats up with this?? lol

Sam's results came back from his blood work from Monday, everything is improving but not his testosterone levels. Next appt. in Sept. will be the MRI and blood tests again. Doc will probably start him on testosterone if his levels haven't improved by then. He's looking kind of peaked this week, I hope he's not getting sicker. What would I do without the love of my life? I've got to just pray that his tumor is shrinking. I've got to believe he will be ok and make it through this. At least he is eating healthier now that im eating healthier.. thats gotta be a good thing. Ive gotta get healthy and strong so that I can take care of him and our family if need be in case he has to have brain surgery. I can and will do this! You can take that to the bank.

Hey Paulax, I have a theory about what doctors tell you to eat. They tell you what is good for most. And while I take everything my doc tells me to heart and seriously consider it.. at the end of the day I know what is best for me. But if/when I am confused I fall back on their advice. My doc says no snacking too however im a firm believer in having one snack per day that is small in carbs/calories and hopefully high in protein/vitamins. Or if its chocolate that works too lol like SF choc. pudding. I say let your body be your gauge, if you stop losing you know you have to do something differant. If you feel low energy you know you have to do something differant. I say ride the wave that works best for you. But thats just my 2 cents lol for what its worth.

I think your butt looks great, id trade you anyday lol. I can't wait to get a butt again! The running you've been doing is definitely paying off. Ok im going to go hop on that clothes hanger in my bedroom aka treadmil! Thanks for inspiration Telli! Keep up the good work.

I weigh myself every AM, I know its not usually a good thing to weigh yourself daily but it works for me. Anyhow Im down another pound and I feel like I have been eating so much. Im nursing my baby still though and I suppose she's eating more now as she is getting bigger.. 4 months +1 week old and weighing about 18 lbs. A very chubby cherub baby! But nursing makes it so difficult to gage how much I can eat. Its neat that I can eat more calories and still lose weight, but its difficult because I really do need to eat more calories and I think I do feel more hungry than the non nursing person. I would just like to know how all the celebrities do it??? *hmpf*
