Just made it under 200...exciting!!

[keeping the faith 0]

Although I have lost about 60 pounds, I am just now seeing the weight loss. I've had ups and downs as we all have...and I have an appointment tomorrow with the doc. I can't exercise at this time, but wish I could as I know this would speed everything up. I have tried to get to 199 for soooooo long. I have been going up a few pounds and down a few. But so happy to have reached this spot at last!! I am finally starting to see a difference in the way my clothes feel and I feel a bit lighter!!

I keep you all in my prayers and have been so thankful for everyone's advice. I still don't know what the sweet spot is, but I am not getting as many nights of getting sick. Funny thing is that I can eat a lot of salad, but hard Protein is more difficult for me. Thank goodness for cheese!! I am joyous today!

Congrats!! How exciting! I bet you are on cloud nine!!

I too have a very hard time w/ Protein (meats). salad, however, goes down without a problem and I have one for lunch and dinner everyday! if you find something that works to get the Protein down, please share.

Again, congrats! Keep up the good work!!

Ok, here goes...now this may not work for everyone, but it has worked for me. After a fill or if I am feeling tight, I make a quickie Soup. Granted, it has some carbs, but it is easy and tasty. When I was going for one of my other ill-fated attempts to lose weight, I did the HMR shake thing. I was told that it had little soy in it, which I can't have. WRONG! But from that, I purchased a very nice blender...expensive, but worth every penny. I put in a scoop of simply potatoes...they taste like homemade, then I add cheese, some chicken or ham...or maybe a quarter of a piece of bacon for flavor. I then add a few green onions, maybe some fat free sour cream, etc. The blender has a button for Soup and it comes out piping hot if I hit the button twice and the potatoes make it feel like I am eating something substantial. I haven't played with keeping the protein chunky...I've been stuck a few times after a fill...and it never fails...it is when the doc goes on vacation or on the weekend. Pure torture!! I've also made a chicken cordon blue sauce, and when I can't deal with the chunks of protein, in the blender with a little milk and mashed potatoes it goes. A disclaimer here, I have a condition in which I cannot have acid of any sort. I had to give up my beloved coffee and sniff, sniff, tomatoes and Tomato based products, so no vegatable soup yet. I did make some ham and bean soup and it was fantastic. I used ham from the honey baked ham company...delicious. I can't exercise at this time or the weight would come off faster, especially if I was able to do free weights. But consider investing in a good blender. I can try to get in touch with the guy where I bought mine. It was about 350, but they normally go for much more. I hope this helps!! And thanks, all of you, for your very kind words that keep me going. You give me such hope! Kisses for all of you!!
