    Hi Jen,

    I completely understand. I am trying to lose as well, and cannot stand to look at pictures of myself.

    In the past, whenever I started to lose weight, my doctor would put me on steroids. Well during the Christmas holiday, I had been on a 21-day steriod regimen. And I will tell you I was determined not to gain any more weight. So I went on a low sodium diet. During that time, I also went to a seminar to see if I was candidate for by pass surgery (I am just that frustrated). When they weighed me, I discovered that I had actually lost 1.9 pounds while on the steriods. While I am not a candidate for any thpe of surgery, I am sticking with the low sodium diet and the caloric intake suggested by My Fitrness Pal. I get weighed the end of January and will let you know how much progress I made. I am a caregiver and need to incorporate more physical exercise in my daily regimen.
