I'm blushing. I saw my name and thought that can't possibly be for me... Thanks folks, you are all so sweet. I am sure it is because I started off heavier than all of you. My body just wants to catch up to the rest of you. Honestly, I use fitday like a fiend, follow the no Water after meals rule, try to eat healthier in general- especially in regards to taking in solid Protein. Sometimes a meal isn't anything BUT a piece of steak or chicken. Other times I'll add a vegetable. On rare occassions I do allow bits of bread products and every night I make sure I have enough calories available to have a single regular size candy bar. That is my one flaw but if it keeps me motivated then??? I try to average around 1200-1400 calories a day. Ussually it is closer to the lower number but it seems that one or two days a week it will sneak up closer to the higher numbers too. I just keep doing the same thing week after week, and ALWAYS dread the weigh in days (tomorrow). I just know sooner or later I am going to have that dreaded plateau. I still feel restriction and can actually feel the point that everyone is always describing (the pre-golf ball feeling). I know at that point that I must stop and take a break and let everything settle or I will PB. I have gotten much better about the PB's too. I don't think I have had one in at least a few weeks now.

Anyway thanks for all the kind words, it really made my day. Teresa :cool:

You are absolutely amazing! You just keep trudging along and don't call any special attention to yourself. And lo and behold, we find you've a whole little person in weight loss. And you're continuing to lose weight dispite the fact that you are a chef! When are you going to post some more great recipes on our recipe thread? Yummy!

Okay folks, weighed in today and was down another 2.6 lbs, so just a few ounces shy of 49 lbs down. Today is exactly 11.5 weeks. Thanks for all your support, I adore you all. Teresa

Well it looks like I could learn a few things from you Theresa.... I wish I were still that focused... I hit and miss. But then I have never been as faithful as I should have been, Thus my lack of weight loss lately huh? In fact I just ate a drumstick. I know, I know..... Congrats girlie....I am Sooooooooooooooo proud of you.

terry has a picture, terry has a picture.. nanny nanny poo poo.. .. :cool: :D

Silly Leatha......I have been trying to get it clear, but no matter what I do, I am stretchy or blurry... Help

[hagerteresa 3]

I don't think drumsticks are too bad, that is what I normally eat when I have chicken and on fitday it wasn't too many calories. I don't think I am that rigid. I do still allow myself that candy bar and I do have a sugar free iced white chocolate mocha with carmel every single day but since that is sugar free I only have to count the milk and whipping cream. I am proud of how I have done but I am sure it was just the luck of the draw. My surgery was 90 minutes because they had to cut away some of the fat around where they wanted to put the band. Maybe it was just a naturally tight fit. I DEFINITELY still have restriction though. I got cocky today and figured since I have eaten tortillas in the past, I could eat part of a subway wrap. The tortillas were much different and not so easily chewed. I NEARLY PB'ed!!! Never did, but it wasn't the most comfy situation either. LOL. Oops... Well thanks for all the sweet words, Teresa
