I finally shopped in the front of the store. Let me explain. Places like wal-mart, k-mart, sears; they put plus size clothing to the back of the stores. I always felt like I was being banished. Well I set out to just try on clothes last night and I adventured to the front. It felt so strange and new yet exciting at the same time. I was able to fit some tops and bottoms. I have never been able to to that and it excites me.

coloradomom how DID you know you were having problems with your gallbladder? Did I tell you ladies that my port is severly twisted? It is and the doc says its fine except when we go in he uses the ultrasound to figure out where to go. It sucks because its not the seemingly pleasant experience that I know it could possibly be. Most of the times it hurts. I haven't been to the doc in almost 2 months and here lately its been hurting a little. When I cough especially. I'm really praying I won't need a new surgery.

amanda this is what blows my mind! I can eat thin crust pizza on a regular basis with no problem. The other day-and this is bad-I ate a hotdog. NOT just the inside like usual but the whole thing. Yes I did it slowly but it disgusted me (after i was done)that I could do it at all. I haven't been hungry up until this week. Its time for a fill but I rescheduled it and now I wish I hadn't. Can u take pills whole?

Pickles I am 32. I don't know if you consider that not young:smile: but I'll be the first to say I am horrible about following any type of plan. It's too restrictive I have cravings that won't go anywhere. As long as I have cravings I'm not going to be able to follow any type of plan. I WILL say that I do my best and I am still losing weight so I am somewhat satisfied.

Well I don't know what the fill centers are but they don't sound too personable. I would definitely try going and getting another fill. Things happen-SMALL THINGS- and you realize how much you take things for granted. I have NOT been hungry in forever. I didn't think I was at my sweet spot and I thought my doctor was exagerating. I was even saying how would he know! Well recently I have been getting hungry. Not super hungry but just enough for me to realize that I haven't felt that feeling in about 2 months. Guess what-I don't like it one bit. It makes me want to eat and eat and eat. I go for another fill on 3/8. He had scheduled me a fill this Monday but I had to cancel. Now I wish that I didn't. Now its up to me to make sure I continue to lose weight and not gain. :frown:I don't like for things to be solely up to me. Wish me luck.

hello everyone, amanda, even if you didn't make your goal I'm sure you have lost alot. I know you look great. I am not losing like i want to. Its all my fault. I can't seem to NOT eat on the weekends. During the week I eat well and exercise then the weekend comes and its gloves off. I eat and eat and eat. I gain all the weight back which I spend M-W getting off so by thursday I'm exhausted from "dieting" then I may lose a pound by Friday to mess it up on the weekend and have to start all over. I have been doin this the past 3 weekends. It is driving me crazy. My down fall I must say (and ladies I have been trying not to say this out loud) is my boyfriend. 3weekends ago we went out of town where he tried to feed me to death. Last weekend it snowed and we stayed in and ate. This weekend was valentines AND it snowed so we stayed in and ate. HELP. I feel like I'm going to have to break up with him just to get this weight off. No, he's not jealous but I have the feeling that he don't want me to lose weight. He's scared I'm going to change or I may not want him anymore or SOMETHING. I've said no more eating. I done all i can and now I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

I am struggling with the low carb thing. Some days it really just kicks my booty. I'm still losing weight but I feel like I could be doing alot better if I could cut the carbs more.

No, no blog. Its a struggle to stay caught up here and facebook. Well I guess I'll keep pushing along.

Coloradomom, I just looked at your blog and you look awesome. I can't wait to be in a size 14. I'm straddling 16/18. I think my tummy is keeping me in that size. I've noticed you lost alot of tummy. Please tell me how. I am doing pilates like everyday and while I can tell my core is alot stronger it is still so big. I have only lost about 6 inches and while that is great I know it could be smaller at this weight. Tell me all the secrets.

I don't have diabetes but I am an insulin resister. The sugar and the starches that I take in aren't taken well by the body so it over produces and more. It is said that it is on the path to type II diabetes.

My doc have yet to set up a post surgery support group. It is in the works but I haven't heard anything about it just yet. They have a pre but they just haven't made room for post hmarko, I have been up and down this whole time. Changing things up does help. I figured once i get to about 210 I'm going to do px90. That program is all about change. Your body does grow accustom to things so I figure this will give me that last boost I need. I just ate a hard boiled egg and 3 cubed pieces of cheese and i am full. I wish it was like that during the whole day and not just in the morning. Most mornings I don't eat. I have a shake because I am so tight. Is anyone else like that?

thanks. Didn't think of doing it that way. I've never heard of zumba. Hope everyone is doing well and losing weight. Relax a day.:0)

hey, I've tried saving the url in my signature so I can continueally come back but there was a problem Do you think I will be able to continue doing that or am I doing something wrong?

Travel & hmarko, I too believe that we come over here more often. I tried going to the other and I like this one better. Also if someone has come over here then they continue to get the notification so basically they are no longer coming here because they don't want to. I go to the other place but it too many threads and I fear I may lose this one.
