Ty --I was reading yesterday about the crackers made with cheese. I will be trying them--

Ty for sharing Thaeda. I know how stressful having a child in inpatient treatment for suicidal thoughts can be. We went through it too ( for 10 years) Along with all of the other stress in life it just builds up. You know that you were stressed and out of balance on your food intake and yes you got into the candy. But you…

I can handle lettuce and also raw spinach---other than that I have been having soft veggies too. I thought I could handle the cucs--I will try again in a week.

Ty SibylDiane--I will try those recipes--today i did just have hummus on a spoon!

TY! I found a flat bread cracker that love with hummus. IO was just thinking of trying to cut back a bit more on the carbs Nabisco Wheat Thins - Flatbread "Tuscan Herb" Crackers, 1 crackers is 30 calories and 6 carbs. I usually have 2 with 2 tbls hummus. The crackers are a few inches long and have a wonderful flavor. I…

At least you knew to work off the calories that you could---and you got right back on the plan! Good job!!!

I have been eating the hummus for weeks now--it is the cucs~~~ I peeled it too--I will try again in a week. I can use up whet I bough--I will cook them in food--I always used them in stir fry before surgery. The 2 I bought are really nice too very firm--not a lot of seeds

Wow very very impressive!

TY everyone!

TY everyone!

TY!!!

I was in a stall--lost great the 1st few weeks and then stalled--then gained 1.4 lbs and now finally down 5.4 lbs. (total loss in 8 weeks is 35 lbs~~but I have really had to work for this latest weight loss.) I have been losing inches--clothes are very loose. I upped my calories and protein this week--thought I would try…

You look amazing!!!

I increased my activity too---and the coconut oil caps worked!

I started using a straw. I have found i get less air and I am getting in more fluids--thank goodness! Donna

LOL!!!

I also do smoothies with spinach or kale and some fruit --and I have tried many other things but they are not working well to move things for me!

A woman I met at a weight mgmt. told me she takes GNC coconut oil chews and they work for her. I looked up the price--30 chews run about $1.00 each! You can get them when they have BOGO--I opted to buy capsules at Walmart--much cheaper. I will let you know if they make any difference.

Thanks Kate--I spoke with my NUT and she feels I am at the right spot and will need to up the calories to 1000 in about a week. I am trying to change up the calories and the protein a bit each day--I have read that sometimes it fools the body into losing rather than staying at the same amount---then we can tend to go into…

Great attitude Rob!!!

Hubby hooked up the wii tonight and I did 1 hr of bowling. I may be limited with my back and hip right now but I :D know I have to move---thank you everyone for all of your support--this is a great group!

Congrats Dale---best of luck on your weight loss journey. This is a terrific group!

The above post have really, really helped me! I was worried at 8 weeks that i have not lost enough. Now I can see that we all lose at different rates and at times a person that had more to lose will drop weight faster than the people that have a smaller amount of weight to lose. Thank you everyone for helping me sort…

My husband has sleep apnea and a 40 BMI--he was turned down by Aetna for surgery. (we are fighting the ins co) He has dropped a bit more weight and is now down to a 38.5 BMI---Based on what I have read on the ins site he should only need a 35 BMI too. His weight went up and down even dieting so the said he was not suited…

MY PCP only has a regular scale but the weight loss ctr and also my surgeon have a scale that you step on in bare feet and it gives a breakdown---of water weight--body fat etc.

On 11/9 it will be two months PO for me. I was upset tonight I went to a weight seminar and I was up 1.4 lbs! I did great the 1st week and the 2nd and third weeks. Then a stall--then a 5 lb. loss---went three weeks in a stall and now up. They though it might be water weight but the reading showed I was down a bit on water.…

TY!

I was told (I was freezing after surgery while still in the hospital and I still get cold when everyone around me is not) that some of that is because your body is working to heal your insides--

TY Everyone!

I was told that too--but I am finding I can get my fluids in better with the straw...
