*HUGS* takes time, keep it up.

that could explain the "blahs" you said you were having in another thread. Good job for getting healthy. My dad was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago and has been able to control it with diet. Hopefully you'll be able to as well.

That is what we eat during the spring and summer months, actually up to Turkey day. Not all the time mind you. But 4 or 5 times a week. They are quite filling with a salad on the side. It helps when keeping the fat content down to a manageable level.

Hi Bev: So glad you found us. Congratulations on that 3 lb loss. It is a good start. Hopefully you will find some good support here. There are a lot of people who have medical issues, and their change in eating habits and activity levels are helping them to feel better. Please stop back often and share your experiences and your challenges. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Now this looks like fun! I'm sending the link to my DD for my DGD.

Why do you think people feel the need to tell others what they should weigh? I mean if you were happy at 112. Good luck getting to whatever weight you are comfortable with.

I haven't looked in the mirror for awhile but today I happened to glance in the bathroom mirror. The mirror only shows from the hips up which is a blessing I don't want to see my thighs. However, I don't look like I am about to give birth anymore I now only look like I am about 6 months pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

There has to be something you are doing wrong. What program are you on? Or what are you doing? Let me know if you would like me to help you with a plan. :D :D

BrendaB: My guess is that you aren't doing anything wrong, but if what you are trying isn't working for you, it may be time to switch some things up. Are you drinking enough water? Are you keeping track of what you are eating, more importantly are you watching your portion sizes. Earlier JanRN mentioned portion sizes, I am definately going to work on that this week. Being on Weight Watchers you have to count everything and it is very easy to think that you know how much one cup is, but it does seem to grow in my bowl, so what used to be 1/2 is now 3/4. So when I measured it again, I found that I should maybe get out the measuring cup again and start using it again. And the pasta is so easy to over estimate the amount, because as Peach said, one cup sure doesn't look like much. Hang in there Brenda, you will figure out something that works for you.

Brenda,
I feel like you. I had reached a plateau and thought it would be time to start exercising to sort of get my body revved up again....well I have been exercising and eating right and I haven't lost a pound since March 31st. To say the least I am frustrated and sad. It was all going so well and then boom!!! I don't know what to do to get off this darn plateau... :cry:

All I can say is don't give up....if you don't I won't. I really want to get this weight moving in the right direction again.

Any ideas from all you great gals would be appreciated!!!
