| Weight Loss | scale obsessed | Apr 22 2009 22:56 (UTC) |

I don't have to weigh myself multiple times a day, but I did weigh myself every morning...at least until my scale died 2 weeks age...I really miss it...it's my rudder to keep me in line. I'm looking for another one...I really liked the one I had. :( |

I gave up butter (I really miss it) and any milk higher than 1% (sob!) and macaroni and cheese (if I can't make it the way I love it and eat a large amount of it, what's the point?). |

I have never tried any variety except the original and I'm addicted to them! You can't leave a bag of them in my possession...I think I could eat a whole bag, just snacking on them like peanuts! |

| Weight Loss | Food Scale = My new best friend | Apr 14 2009 02:43 (UTC) |

I REALLY need to make measuring and weighing my food a habit. Last year, I lost 30 pounds, was so proud of myself!....went on Maintenance and relaxed tooo much...now I've gained back 10 pounds and I know it's because I'm not watching my portions close enough. I've lost my "eyeball it" edge. I need to use the scale so I will be more exact about my ounces. I have always had one but today I dusted it off and began to use it and measure my portions more acurately. Whatever it takes... |

When I started CC in '07, I could count on oatmeal to keep me full until lunch but now, not so much...why would that be? |

I tried a brand of tea...Stash...it was so good! I tried a couple of different flavors...one of them was some kind of spice...totally delicious! I tried these at a company I was visiting. I can't find this brand at any store I've been to. Has anyone ever heard of this brand and where can you buy it? |

This sounds great...I just ate a half pound of chicken tenders with wing sauce...this would be so much better for me and I have become a big fan of wing sauce! I'd maybe skip the blue cheese...I love it but enjoy the chicken with just the wing sauce so I'd save the calories. Thanks for the recipe! |

I don't know how often one SHOULD weight themselves but I weigh myself every morning before my shower and my coffee. I feel like I need to know if I should pat myself on the back or kick myself in the rear...it's a motivational thing. |

I need to join this group. I hit my GW in Feb. and began maintenance. I don't like maintenance...I have lost my focus and gained 10 pounds. When I was in the "losing mode", my mind was on track all the time but since Feb., it's been a battle. In May, I had a hysterectomy and I also have the "swelly belly" from that, too. I don't feel good anymore even though it seems like all I think about now is food and trying to remember to keep on track. I wish I could get that mindset back that I had a year ago when I was still losing. |

Well, I followed through...4 grilled chicken tenders, baby carrots, green beans and 1 corn muffin. I was proud of myself cuz I really wanted the potato casserole and chicken fried chicken. And I didn't have any dessert. Our waiter was great...very helpful...(2 star apron) and friendly. I don't know what the muffins equal calorie wise but can't be too bad, right? Thanks for the help. |

I heard recently that a lot of people who lose weight gain 2/3rds of it back in the two years after they reach goal. Don't want to join that club! It's 11:15 AM...so far so good...why is it easier when I'm home alone? |

Thank you for the encouragement! I am a little worried about gaining weight with my lack of activity. No bending, lifting, going up and down stairs a lot, etc. Fortunately, I haven't turned to comfort foods and indulged myself too much. Trying to drink lots of water, eat fiber foods, watch portions still. But I haven't lost...maintained, for now. Thanks again for your help! God bless! |

| Health & Support | Anyone gain weight after a hysterectomy? I did...a lot! | May 21 2008 21:51 (UTC) |

Hello! I had my hysterectomy on Monday, May 19th. On Sunday, before I went to the hospital, I weighed 125. Now, 2 days after surgery, I weigh 137! IN TWO DAYS! What's going on? Is this fluid weight from the IV? There is no way I gained 12 pounds in two days! I hardly ate anything at the hospital. Does anyone have any experience with this. My belly area is swollen but they say that's normal after a hysterectomy. If it is fluid weight, how long until it goes away. I hope someone out there has an answer for this. Thanks and God bless! |
