First-- BIG CONGRATS to you guys that are losing phenomenal amounts of weight! Even a couple of pounds is great, but I'm amazed by those of you losing 20 and MORE lbs--GREAT JOB!
OK, after my little pity party I decided to give up on my journal...it works for some, but when it came down to it I really didnt have the time to figure out all the mathmatical parts of how much I'm eating, how much fat, calories, etc was in everything. I dont eat out much & dont follow recipes, so it was getting to be a real pain. Anyway, that's actually GOOD news for me because I seem to do better by just keeping a cursory eye on what I'm eating. I do have to keep track of my sodium intake for bp & water retention, but I've gotten used to that.
Also, I have found something that really seems to work for me--roasted edamame. It is a soy nut/bean that's chock full of protien & fiber. It also keeps my hunger in check.
I have also had gall bladder surgery & have diverticulosis, so Ihave to watch what I eat (no corn, nuts & things of that nature). I have found through trials & tribulation that I actually CAN eat some of these things, as long as I do so IN MODERATION & not like I used to. It comes in handy when you're trying to lose weight...but this is my testimonial & I do not advocate not following your doctor's advice on your health issues.
Anyway...all that to say that I am now at 153.2 lbs (almost 3 lbs since I went back up)! Not a lot, but I'm happy to be coming out of my fat clothes!

Lets update

Tell me how much you have lost total so that I can add it to the main title

I am SOOOO proud of you ladies. I will be re-joining the party soon, I hope. I have to go ahead (again) from the doc, and now I need to get a couple other things squared away.

Soooo, give me those updates.........What is your total weight loss to date?

Ok, when I actually started working on losing the weight (before I saw this thread), I weighed in at 160. Now I'm down to 153, so I've lost 7 lbs!

I have lost 6.6 lbs in the 7 weeks I have been dieting!

What happened? I hope that you Red Hot Mama's havent fallen off the wagon?

C'mon ladies.........Who is still going? Who needs a lift back up?

Right now, I am trying to be careful not to gain any weight back. I have the go ahead from the Doc to go back on the diet, but to be perfectly honest.......I am scared. I got so sick before, and well, I dont want to go there again.

Sooo, what I am sayin' is........I need someone to jump back on the wagon with me. Really, who wants to be the first to kick me in the rear end and say "get over it, ya lazy bum!"

Anyone?
