Ok so i had my 3rd fill one month ago. I now have 5.6CC and in the first week i lost 4lbs.....and that is it!!:smile2:

Once i started eating solids i have maintained.In total i have lost about 35lbs..in the last 7 months. i am only 1/3 away from my goal and i have ZERO restriction. One night i was able to eat about 10oz of MEAT! and to top it off i had about 2oz of mash potatoes.

 

I have been keeping to 1200-1500 cal per day and about 65+ grams of protein. I am working out 2-3 times a week. I just started going to Zumba classes and at home i work on tummy crunches.

It just seems my body is refussing to give up any FAT.

I have not been perfect with the Diet.... with 3 small kids it seems i am always surrounded by food and so i find myself eating cookies, crackers, godfish, chips... and ofcourse those things go down well:sneaky:

 

I have my next appt in 4 weeks. I would be somewhat happy to be able to loose a total of 10 lbs before then. I am guessing my Dr will give me another 1CC...

I read alot of blogs and hear people say that they " are at their sweet spot"

I would truely be happy if i could loose 1 lbs a week...more importantly to see iches come off!!

 

I hope soon i will be able to have a more positive Blog. thanks for hearing me out... its good to vent!:wink2:

Does your doc allow you to go more than just once a month? I was going every two weeks until I found my sweet spot, and believe me, when you get there, you will know in a matter of days..... no need to wait an entire month.

ALso.... every person is different, and it is so hard with kids and all (I have 4!)..... but for serious weight loss, you will probably have to add more work-out days, or more time to the workouts you are already doing. I am going to the gym 5 days a week. I started out at 5 minutes on the eliptical, now I am up to 40 minutes on a good day, plus weight training. And even at that, it took two months for all of that work to show up on the scale. (If THAT isn't frustrating!)

And one last thing..... the snacks you have around for your kids.... I don't keep them in the house at all.... I Would eat them if I did. ANd in my case, I can see a couple of my kids already having weight issues, so I decided they dont need it any more than I do. It is a personal choice, but something to consider.

Hang in there..... it DOES work out.

hi Vicking_ girl

My surgeon seems to be very conservative. I got my 1st fill 2 months after surgery and i have basically seen him every 2 months. i did call his office last week and left a message with his assistant that i would like to try to come in soon and not have to wait another 4 weeks for my fill. I am still waiting for a call back. It is not easy for me to drive into Boston since i have to find someone to look after the kids if my husband cant take the day off.

Right now i am doing :

Zumba 2 days

recumbant bike for 1 hour 1 day

toning/ tummy crunches at home 2 days

Luckily my kids dont have weight issues as of yet. I do not denie them anything but i do limit portions. The problem is me grassing all day while in the kitchen making meals or snack for the kids.

Thanks for the advise. I will try to be patient and hopefully i will see results soon.

I know what you mean about the drive... I have to go to Salt Lake City, which is about 90 minutes away, depending on traffic for the day. I love to visit the city, but I have a kindergartener so I usually have to leave as soon as all the kids are on the bus, and then dash to SLC and back before the little one gets home -- some days that is a challenge!

This will probably make you laugh, but what in the world is Zumba? I have never heard of it!!
