Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'm the same way Pam, I just feed Dan and if he has something that I either can't, or don't want, to have, then it doesn't bother me either.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Well good for you LaWanda and congrats on breaking through that Plateau! Get used to it because that seems how it is for me at least. I will stay the same weight for about 2 weeks then I drop 10 pounds...weird but its okay because it is more than I could ever ask for. Hang in there. Pam Marsh - 4 months post op. 170 (79.5 pounds gone/27 presurgery & 52 post surgery) Goal: 130 (press for 122-100#s loss post surgery) --- LaWanda Ezell konfuzed@...> wrote: > I'm the same way Pam, I just feed Dan and if he has > something that I either > can't, or don't want, to have, then it doesn't > bother me either.
