welcome back!
I am still struggling with giving up sugar.
I had some medi fast "oat meal" today...full of soy protien and actually tasted like oatmeal, only had 100 calories and I was not hungry for a long time...could not believe it! It is very expensive but may have to order some, a friend gave me some to try.
Congratulations alffe and ginnie on the sustained weight loss!!!!!
awesome!

Thanks Bizi....consider trying the Health Food store for the steel cut oatmeal that Ginnie talked about. A lot cheaper!

Bizi, you can find Medifast products on ebay for a whole lot cheaper than buying from the company. And you can buy just certain products individually.

Thank you bizi. The weight loss is a big deal for anyone on that journey. I actually did it too fast. 19 months. I had help in a way because I was in pain when I was obese. I figured if I didn't do something, the upcoming surgery would not go as easily. I also loose my appetite when the pain is bad, so that gave me the added boost to do something right. I made up my mind that when I was hungry I was going to put only good things into my mouth period. The weight poured off fast once I changed my eating habbits. If I could give everyone struggling out their with their weight one good sentance, I would say to put nothing in your mouth that isn't good for you. Coke, Pepsi, lots of sugar, salt, butter spreads, donuts, all that stuff has to go. I now drink real milk, have small amounts of real butter, and I eat all food groups in moderation. I learned to eat a less amount of food in general. I had wings on super bowl sunday and I was not guilty over it. I only ate four, had veggies and dip, and I did have a treat, a glass of coke. I still love it. I am having the best time of my life right now with cloths. I have never fitted into anythingbut oversized t shirts and big baggy sweats. Now I can look like a lady and smile, even with the lumps ande bumps I look good at 59. I shop good will for cloths and have found desigener things for little money. Go girls, it is so fun to do this and look like I have not looked like since high school. I am praying for each of you, that you find success and peace with food. I wish I could send you my joy in this note. ginnie

thank you ginnie! you are inspiring!!!!

Hi I have to buy some more scales mine broke so I have no idea what
I weight. Heehee


But I do watch what I eat. So I'm still doing well. I will restart my
exercise soon. The dizziness is better, but it has to get lots better
before I can challenge my body.

I'm so glad you are both doing well.

I've gained some, too. I had a doctor appointment on Monday and according to their scales I've gained 4 pounds. I would have guessed it was more. I need to get back on my diet, too. Usually it's easier for me to diet during the Summer. I need to get my motivation back.
