 However, I have only lost 6 pounds in the last month.  I exercise regularly and harder than ever but???  I guess I have to be happy that I am still losing.  I never eat carbs or fat but my portions are closer to 1/2 to 2/3 cups.  I still feel great and know that I will reach my goal.  All my cohorts, Peggy, Joanna, and Leslie, are all doing great too!  So everything is still good.  Weight today, my mom's birthday, is 208.  I want 160!!!

Well hello everyone!  Things sure change fast around here.  As of today, I am divorced!  Yes it was fast but also not surprising.  Yes, I'm doing great and I think he is too.  I am still doing all the things I'm supposed to do and more now.  My clothes are falling off me and I am running out of smaller sizes.  However, if that is the worst of my problems, I am very blessed.  
I hope everyone is doing good.

When my mom found out she only had a short time to live, she would get up everyday and thank God for another beautiful morning.  I just found out that I am going to live and thought I would thank Him for another beautiful morning.  NO, I don't have a terminal illness, but I am single again and thought I was going to die for a day or two.  Now I know that I'm going to get through this, so I thank God for all His strength.  

I'm working out EVERY day for at least an hour with walking and strength training and recently started back water aerobics two days a week with my very good friends.  I am adhering to my diet and taking my vitamins and guess what?  I'm losing again.  Will wonders never cease?  ;) 

Life is good, enjoy it.

I am feeling great and have for the last week!  I am losing weight, albeit a little slower than I expected, but I am losing!  Thank you to all my friends who encourage me and call me and remind me of wonderful things.  I needed you and you were there. 

The treadmill is a wonderful investment for me.  I use it nearly every day and am glad I bought it because it's just toooooo cold to go outside.  My clothes are way too big (most of them) and it's fun to try them on and then throw them away or donate them. 

School is going great and since I'm off all those legal drugs that clogged my mind, I now see clearly and my grades have improved tremendously.  

So all-in-all, life is worth living and I'm going outside to work in my herb garden and get it cleaned up for summer.
 

I posted on the forum for answers and got a lot of help.  I am feeling much better today.  Yesterday I invested $400 on a treadmill since most days I don't want to go outside to walk.  It's helping already.  Got my mile in already and feel good.  My weight loss is not as fast as I would like it to go but I'm losing and I'm happy.  As my friends keep reminding me, everyone is different.  I will post more pictures as I deem appropriate.  Have a great Easter and remember it's not about the Easter Bunny! 

I went to see Dr. Cannon last Friday and he said I am not losing like I should.  I am so frustrated!  I walk 30-40 minutes a day, I drink 64+ ounces of water a day and believe me, I do not cheat on eating.  Everything tastes like crap!  I am not even losing a pound a day and I am at 307.6 pounds today.  

I am sick, weak, depressed and totally disgusted.  I take all my vitamins as prescribed and my GP wants me back on my Levoxyl as soon as possible but Dr. Cannon says it will take six months to be able to take pills.  However, he has me on a Slow FE pill???  (since this post, I have found out that you can get injections for IRON, that is the only way to go, those pills made me sick.  Also, my Levoxyl dissolves in water.  I showed Dr. Cannon this and he was amazed.  He said go ahead and take it that way.)  I am thoroughly confused right now.   It has been three weeks since surgery and right now I wish I had not had it done.  

Any suggestions from anyone???

Don't ask me now.  The answer would be NO!  I am in pain every evening and all the pain meds make me sick.  Everything tastes nasty but I'm so hungry.  There is no way I can get 64 oz of water down me and I had diahrrea for a whole week after surgery.  In fact, I am wondering what I did to my poor abused body.  Add insult to injury.  This just may be depression too because I had to come off my depression meds when I went in for surgery but thank God they make liquid Prozac which I could just start taking.  

Does anyone out there have any suggestions besides "quit whining?"
