"Perple Glow" wrote in message news:%Sgdb.601284$o%2.278512@sccrnsc02... By the way, with all of the weight loss.... does all the exercise you are doing tighten the loose skin at all??? -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast(DOT)net It seems to be working. My arms and boobs are nowhere near as bad as they were just a few months ago. The doctor held out little hope in my case that I'd totally snap back because of how big I was to start with. I'm just giving it time - I couldn't even think about surgery until after a year of maintenance and then I'd have to wait for summer so we're looking at summer 2005 for my tummy tuck. Jenn |

That is great... I am sure that you will keep us all posted with your
updates. Are you nervous about the transition at all?? After all the time, money and starving I've put myself through... I think I'll have little incentive to go crazy and waste all I've done to get better. -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast(DOT)net "Jennifer Austin" wrote in message ... "Perple Glow" wrote in message news:RQgdb.604311$uu5.99057@sccrnsc04... That was the 1st time I've seen your website... You look GREAT. I hope I do as well as you. As an HMR dieter, your success is inspiring. I haven't seen a number under 200 on my scale since I was 17.... I hope I can do as well as you. I am almost done with week 6..... Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I am currently 34. Thanks!! 284/255/199(minigoal)/???? -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast(DOT)net 37 on my last b-day. Getting below 200 was a major deal for me. Speaking of HMR, I started refeed today. Scale was at 149 and I decided it was just time for the potato instead of waiting until next week. I don't want to lose much more than where I'm at so I need to add the calories. The fiber, etc. will cause a temporary gain, but then I'll keep dropping weight over the next 6 weeks during the transition to my maintenance calories. Jenn 300/149/14? |

After I get to 190-200, I want to try to get pregnant for the first time
before it gets too late for me. After the baby (hopefully), I'll resume HMR. I will continue to walk and work out lightly if/when I do get pregnant, so that I don't gain it all back. Due to the PCOs, it will not be easy to get pregnant for me.... That is one of the reasons my Endocrinologist put me on this diet.... so that getting pregnant will be easier. I am thrilled about losing weight again. At my age, I was getting worried about my health and longevity. Anyway, thanks for posting!! -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast(DOT)net "Jennifer Austin" wrote in message ... "Perple Glow" wrote in message news:%Sgdb.601284$o%2.278512@sccrnsc02...

How did you guys quit? I smoke too and don't think I can do HMR and quit at
the same time. I've been on wellbutrin for about 3 weeks now and tried to quit this week. However, life was so stressful, I couldn't and started back after 2 days.... -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast(DOT)net "Jennifer Austin" wrote in message ...

Keep up the good work with the cigs! I don't miss 'em anymore, except for once last night when I stopped at the bar. Then I got close enough to it that the smell made me ill - which I just love.

I think I'll have little incentive to go crazy and waste all I've done to get better. -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast(DOT)net I am nervous about transition. I just decided that it was time to start putting to practice all of this great education and advice. I think I'll be ok because I have so much support and love in my life and I'm finally able to realize it. Sounds corny, but it really helps to know that I can fall on my face and have help getting dusted off and back on track. I ate 6 oz. of baked red potato yesterday with the chicken supplement & hot sauce on it. I think with the entrees last week it wasn't as momentous as it might have been had I not had any exposure to food. I ended up getting very hungry a few hours later and polishing off 2 batches of hmr banana nut cookies (vanilla supplement, banana sf/ff pudding, black walnut extract, cinnamon & nutmeg, egg white). It was all good! Tonight I am having a potato with the soybean chili on top I don't think about the money, but I do think about the effort I made to get here. I don't really want to dwell on it all of the time or I may start feeling like I have to be perfect all of the time and punishing myself for things I consider "failure." There has to be a balance of awareness and being conscientious without the extreme rigidity that some of us with eating disorders tend to fall into. I'm trying to avoid the "all or nothing" mentality. If I can manage that, I should be able to control my weight without it being an obsession. It's a long-term change that I don't expect to happen overnight, but it's my personal goal. Keep up the good work. Jenn |

Losing weight usually does increase one's fertility and is probably one of the many subconscious reasons I stayed obese for most of my life (I don't want children). Jenn |
