I hear you and posted a picture of where I was in 2007 on facebook. I had to remind myself. My friend who has worked with me for 21 years said she does not see me as fat anymore she said she sees me as skinny.
I told her I had to remind myself.
I totally agree with protein levels. I cannot eat much. I stay as focused on weekends. I have protein shakes to keep up my protein. I like the shakes as opposed to feeling stuck.
ok i could only watch part of your video cuz it wasn't loading right (sometimes i hate youtube...or my puter lol)...but its great to see you and see that you're doing so well!
It's great to hear about the struggle of maintenance - honestly. And I know what you mean about getting used to a weight and starting to feel fat. I've been at 180 for two months and initially I was strutting around at that weight, but after a few months I started to feel super-puffy. So weird! I dump on ice cream too - my gf (who's all sciencey) thinks it's because of the ratio of fat/sugar in it, which is sort of unique. sigh.
I'm glad you shared what you're doing now. I can definitely eat more now and at times it concerns me...However, I do know that it's just part of it and we have to do the work.
Oh my....you hit this one right on with me!! My problem, I don't even dump on ice cream . Pretty much nothing! I get the gas though. I need to stop carbotaging myself.
OMGosh! I am typing as I am listening and I so could have made this video. I am feeling fat again too.
Sorry to hear about you bf's dad. Great video. Miss you! I should get back to making videos.
I didn't realize you were only 2 1/2 weeks after me. oh I can eat too much too...makes me nervous.Your hair is beautiful! Oh I do get sick with sugar. Sometimes it throwing up sometimes it's need to lay down. Sometimes it's gas too (never made that connection til you said it). So can you meet me in Vegas baby in February for that meet and greet? I think a few are going. pls pls???
I'm maintaining mostly too. 134.4-136.6 mostly.oh I have way more head games going on right now..big time!!
Yes, I knew our surgeries were close. The issue is that I had so much more to lose than you! That's why you figured I was further behind. (Now I know you'd never say that, but that's how I perceive it.) I'd kill for your legs, Shannon!
Wow, thanks for posting. I can so relate, I'm still "Carbotaging" my diet, especailly that last week, and the scale just showed it I have a gain. And I need to work on accountability with myself. BTW, love the hair, you look marvelous.
Margo, your hair is adorable! I'm just starting to be able to eat more food now too, and it's scary! Maintanence is tough, for sure. OMG, I totally dump on ice cream too! I cannot eat ice cream at all. Luckily, I was never a big ice cream gal. My body actually CRAVES sugar. It's like this chemical equation that I have to get exactly right: enough to get my chemistry right, but not too much or I'll get the shakes. Anyhow, you look great, and rock on girl! :)
Hey Roomie,yup protein has been my priority this week what a difference.I'm coming back this weekend with a video.Hugs Diana

SO funny about the fudgesicle comment! I have really been eating them lately (not bragging!). You look great!

The fudgesicles I eat are 60 calories, so for some reason I eat two to three a day. What's up with that? Thanks for the comment.
