I am hoping it is just water weight ...I am going to get back to exercising on monday. Today we have to run up to kansas for the day.. my kids play in a syphony up there so every sunday it is travel day...they have just been asked to play with the college in Italy, over spring break...Alex is 13 and Stacie is 16.  Looks my next project, fund raising,,oooo.  Oh Molly your house sounds alot like mine, we also rescue alot of animals..right now we have 9 dogs, 3 cats and a cocatiel that was rescued from its mother who was tring to kill him in the nest, we drooper feed him and this bird seems to have no idea it is a bird...the 9 dogs we have kept are special needs dogs such as meds ,therapy, phsyical and emotional. you know the dogs that very few  people want to deal with...when they come in wiwth mild issues we rehab them, get them healthy and a little basic training and we find them homes...my husband was also in the military.  well everyone have a great day.

Hello everyone. Josie39-- I know the feeling. I have been withinreaching my perfect weight more than once and little things put the pounds on.  The last time, which was about 18years ago, my weight was down and I started dating my husband, who did not know how hard I had worked, married and 3 kids latter, well I was back up. and then some.Anyway, this time I have been pounding the whys to that so I don't make that mistake again.  and as you I am up and down, in fact in the past three days I am up 3lbs.  I am hoping it is just water weight...What is differnt this week is I am not as involved in something that has a purpose, Oh yes day to day life has a purpose, but I have found that watching myself and others involved in making some kind of differnce. I seems as though not only weight drops but health and spirit improve.. just food for thought.  Don't dispare.    And around here, in Oklahoma, summer never wanted to end..we are just now getting to turn off the air conditioner at night...its has been hot and wet all spring, summer and fall...drought for the past 5 years and last winter lots of snow,which is not normal for around here, that lead into lot of rains and floods...just strange.   I bet it is nice to wear some of those smaller sweaters.

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing great this morning and no more flu bugs, yuk!  Molly fire that doctor!!!!!!! My doctor hates those surgeries.  She has had many patients insist on having it done and they had many complications. I know serveral people who have had it done and all of them had alot of complecations. In fact my mother-in-law had it done about 3 years ago, oh yes she lost weight, but she has been in the hospital most of the time since, (in california.UCLA) she has no real quality of life. Eventhough my husband knew all this he tried to convience me to have it done and, well needless to say he received a "little' piece of my mind.  I have been working with my supportive doc and it is working... as for the taste bud changes it does happen. The trick I have found that does speed it up is don't us artifical sweeteners,  after not having any of those sweeteners or any surger and even fruit or starches for 2 weeks I no longer craved them at all.  and as far as fried, I changed to olive oil only. works great on lower heat and don't bread anything. now if I eat anything with bad surgars, well it goes straight through me and I can't hold things down that have been fried in bad oils. And boy is your a body rejecting bad food a great detruent!!!!!  Also I have small viens that are deep and had to go through blood testing 1 a week for 3 years,blood clots after havn g kids. I found that if I drank alot of water that helped alot, the hydration made it easier for them to find those tiny little things...my doc has no problem with water before any blood test.....have a great day alll.

Good morning everyone.I am getting back on track. 

go4gold, as far as eating.yes I did. I am on a very low cal. diet and if I miss any meal I start feeling really sick. most of the time I simple at the same thing over and over, Things I knew that were easy to fix and quick to eat. In fact I would go back to my past food list and followed some of that.  having that to glance at made things easier..

mollymouser,good job, the pumpkin dessert sounds good.  I don't know where you live, but fall has just arrived here in our part of Okla. in the past few days and I am loveing it!!!

singing_girl, Hi good for you. pounds down are pounds down!!  great choices.  A couple of months ago when I got my act together and set forth on my journey of pealing off the pounds I totally avoided anything that was not a "perfect food", I did find two places I could eat that I could find many choices were Panera Bread and subway... I have also learned how to go ahead and have that cake, but I only eat 2 bits. and I eat them slowly. In  the past I would have never thought that would have worked but it is now. And you ought to see peoples faces when you say " oh that was good, I am full, after 2 bits... I have a couple of friends who made the funniest faces. Not because I used to eat so much, they were tring to figure out how I could have that kind of self control with such a great cake, and they could'nt. I just smilled. There will always be more cake, but if we don't get our health under control we may not be around to take that bite.  Again good for you!!!!

  I have added another reason to loose weight.  I have alot of things comming up that might involve being on the oppisite side of some of  the media again and BOY!!!, If you are on the oppisite side of the cameraman, well lets just say they don't exactly catch your best side. He could have taken this picture from any angle, and what did he do. well as I was bent over putting a sign in the ground, he deciced my hinnie, which is not tinnie by no means!!. would make the best picture, well I guess it did hide all the signs.  the other camerman was on our side, he was much more merciful.. I guess I got the last laugh, was sent to the watch party were he sat in the corner pouting, while we had a blast!!!!!!! everyone have a great day!!!

well hi all!! I have been tring to do some catching up and wow!!! you guy are doing great..I get stuck at one weight all the time, so don't dispear.. I did discover something by accident, during this election. A little history first, I was going to the gym before I started working with this elct. and worked out, weights and cardeo.  my weight was dropping  and would go stagnant.  during this elct. I was put in the postion of spokes person a couple of time more than I wanted to. Well you know the media they wanted to see how we were getting our message out. walking door to door. A funny thing was I never had time to walk more than 2 blocks at a time and I stopped to speak with voters. the pounds started dropping like mad...I don't know what it was, about being outside. I still did some weight training the only thing that changed was my cardeo was out side...who know why I guess it was just the changing what I was doing.. I hope that helps....good luck to all and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone again....have a great night and a great day tommaro w..jansa

HELLO EVERYONE!!!! The election is finally over!! and the we won, the. It was a grass roots campaigne..we had 10,000 and person to person, no big dollar adds, no P.R. FIRM.   It was the people from all over the city and county  that beat the other side and the who's bugget ran well over a million dollars...Some very snobby ''YOUNG PROFESSIONALS'' kept refering to the gerneral public as uneducated hillbillies. The posted diatribes about the back labors, We kept waiting for them to take a page from Marie Antionet,''LET THEM EAT CAKE''. ok, yes that might sound pretty good about now, but....Oh sorry if my spelling is horrible, but I guess I would fall under that discusting group that the all knowing young prof. and cities elliet can't bare to share  the air with. Now by most standards we are your average middle class america..math is my thing.I was on the local news many times and because of my size I received some dorgatory comment because of my size, and of coarse I would'nt want to "develope the arkasas river" I wouldn't use it. Things got down and dirty. Thank you all for being here, when I was tired I would come here and another forum and read thanks for the insperation.  Oh I am down to 296 as of this morning and I had to go off my phintimine almost 3 weeks ago, I started having blood pressure issues with it . anyway thanks again.  we are delivering a large vote no sign that has been signed by alot of citizen and politians that worked on the no side with a little note listen to all the people..Alot of polticians will be voted out for their conduct during this thing. Ok,  I  am off my soap box     bye for now.

Hi everyone,  I hope you all are doing well. Sorry I have'nt been arround things have been crazey arround here. I am envoled in a camaign here. this election  surpasses all back ground.  the city and county tring to shove another tax hike on us. Well a grass route campaigne aginst got started and folks from all over this small overtaxed county are really ticked off. Our sales tax is all ready higher than New York Cities.  All for another entertainment area.  Our intrstructers are falling appart and there are no real middle class jobs here. Anyway, as you can see crazy. But the good news is I have been able to stay on my eating plan and I have lost another pound, I am down to 307. not much but I am glad.

Especally when I am going to the gym.   On my way out the door, goog luck to everyone and good luck.

Hello everyone,  I am 45, as of 9/11,  married and have 5 kids, from college to middle school. I am currently finishing some additional ed. hours to maintain my license. I joined C.C. on 8/3, and I weighed 326.5 lbs.  I have many intrests,  and stay very busy, which has made it hard to get to the gym, or even walking but as of two weeks ago I have been forcing myself to take the time. It is getting easier to fit it in. My husband is not a very supporter. He is rather mad at me, because I did not go to the gastric bypass meeting he wanted me to go to. He dose not think I can loose the weight without the surgery, and he is very passive agrresive. I keep reminding myself I lost a hundred pounds before I meet him, and I did it the same way I am now. My kids are outragiouly supportive, and they are very helpful and positive.

Michelle-YEA!!!!!!,Good job! I know how that feels. those wonderful milestones!!!keep up the great work.     

Kellygreen-I am glad you enjoyed your bday. don't worry. Mine was'nt self control as it was me tring to a point accross to my husband. My oldest son brought me a big contianer of cherries and when I woke up this morning there they were, right ontop of the boston cream pie.. my kids get it maybe my hubby will be as understanding and supportive as some of you all have, and if not that will be his problem not mine. Great job getting back to it!

ajjciir-That is so cool!!I can't wait to be able to start keeping up with my kids, and good for your hubby for being so supportive!!

Well I made it to the gym today, infact several times in the past few weeks.  at first it was cardo one and the next it was weight training, I have now moved to both everyday and I am feeling great!! I am keeping the weights about 1/2 of what I was a couple of years ago. but I am doing more reps.  I hope everyone is doing great and keep up the good work!!!!

Hello everyone, Well went back to my Doc. today and she was amazed, I have lost 20lbs since I saw her a few days before I joined CC.  So that was around aug 1st.texasteach, good for you, getting back on track and having a great vacation! nathan29, My son just got  a trainer and he suggested walking fast and weight training. The more muscle you build the more calories you burn. But being a college student be sure you get enough lean protien, you will need it to build those muscles..and as far as parties, a little trick I used back in the day and my young adult kids use is, enjoy the party without the intake.  It is amazing what you learn about your friends when they are a little tipsy. It can be very funny. And you are avalible if anyone needs help. mgoyder, the only time I have ever been able to continue loosing weight  is when I was weight training..I feel better and I am able to more cardio.  They like all things work together.  A couple of years ago I hired a trainer who herself had lost a great amount of weight  and she headed me in the right direction.  I only had to use her once and I had the info I needed .

Hi everyone, Looks like everyone is doing great. Congrates on all the pounds down!!! Since my last post on 9/6, I have lost 2 lbs

stared cc on Aug. 3- 326.5   

joined group Aug. 9-319

today Sept. 10- 309,   so down 10lbs since 8-8 and 17.5 lbs. down since joining cc and my last Doctor app.   I see her tomarrow , on my birthday. so I will find out the rest of the story blood pressure , blood stats ect.   But mainly the reason I wrote all that  is thanks everyone for being out there.  You guy have been a sorce of strenth and insperation. Especially since my husband got back to town. He has filled the fridge with eveything that will pack back on the pounds. The mean thing about that is he went out of his way to buy my favorites, which I know he dose not care for, passive- agrressive.  He is still ticked off that I did'nt go to those bariatric meating. Oh well he will be back on the road at the end of the month.. I last week I made time to go to the gym and hit the treadmill too.  that is making me feel better.  Anyway thanks again and all my best wishes and support to everyone.       &nb sp;               &nb sp;               &nb sp;               &nb sp;

michellesmith0, Just an idea and I don't know if it can be done.  but what about a weight loss chart , like the one thats on  the biggest loser. One that we up date. I am not very good with computers, but I could even figure that one out..now that said maybe the is someone who is as computer savy as yourself that could help setting that up, life most cerntanly can get crazy..it just an idea, if it can be done.  P.S. I would volunter, but by the time I got done with it , it probably would be in chinese and some secret service guy would be knocking on our doors becuase I messed up something...My son can testify to that he is always having to fix some screw up I have done..He is a patient man.  HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Hi everyone, and all you newbies. Wow!!!alots happened!  congrats to all you loosers..and those who seem to have not, it happened to me and basically as the pounds went down I built more muscle which weighs more and need more food to keep going. I am losing again with more eneergy and strength.  YEAH, Beth congrats you college girl you... I have not had time to get on my computer very much, kids and hubby being in town and a demanding mother,ooooooo.  Well I have been able to maintain my low cal. diet but my husband is no help..He is one of those who thinks that nothing will work for anyone this overweight  except bariatric surgery.  I thought about it but I am not at deaths door, so why take the extra chance.. He is one of those who wants to see 40 or 50 lbs off in a month, like his mother did, she was at deaths door.  Oh well, he is going back to Enland at the end of September. and that stress will be out of the way..good luck to all and have a great weekend.
