Thanks to all of you who commented on my post Staying the Course but not dropping the weight. I think that I shall join the Spa and get off the scales. I believe I was watching them too much, I feel better and look better, dropped two sizes and I need to excercise to tone up. I think I was too engrossed in this and I'll now relax and let it happen! You all were great with your comments!

I feel like I am not dropping enough weight, what am I doing wrong? I am staying under 1,000 calories per day and getting my protien. Started Walking a mile every other day along with some weight work for my arms and body toning. I had my surgery on July 30, 2009, I weighed in at 250.5 and now weigh 228.8. one week prior to surgery I weighed 256.5, but I feel so fat. I know I have lost a lot of weight, but I can't feel that it is enough for the time. I am feeling ashamed and defeated, anyone else experience this?:tt1:

Hi, I am new to this, Had my surgery on July 30, 2009. I too get hungry at night, but that is when I was always my hungriest. I am bored, even watching TV my mind wanders away from the program. Find a new hobby, get busy and you won't eat at all. The head is telling the stomach you are hungry. You then dream of all the things you can have to eat, and start looking for something to eat to keep you busy, this food stays with you all nite while you sleep and turns into sugars and starches!!! Learn to crochet, knit, take an art class and sketch, do something else in other words, not eat.
