finally reached 199 after a two week stall Giving up legumes for a while they ate slowing down my progress (the carbs rich food I eat) Took too long to get here Celebrating with a Mani Pedi and maybe a vacation

Sounds like a stress dream...typically highlighting anxiety about something in your waking life. I don't worry obsessively about following the rules. Yep, I try to follow them. I do a damned good job about 98% of the time. The other 2%....meh...is negligible in the big picture. Perfection is more stress than it's worth:)

Wow! If that’s not the pot calling the kettle black I’ll eat my extra large shorts (that no longer fit) & save myself a trip to the goodwill. 😂 😂 😂 😂

Man, I keep learning stuff:) Thanks

Two weeks should be fine. I also have a desk job, and realistically could have returned to work after a week. I was tired for a few days after surgery, but that went away at around day four. At six months out, I can eat anything that I want. I try to eat clean for the most part, but do have "bad for you" foods on occasion. I had a few alcoholic drinks at 4 1/2 months out (New Years Eve). I was fine, and didn't overdo it. I haven't had drinks since, because I just haven't felt like it. I did make myself throw up once a few months ago. I normally weigh and measure my food, and on that particular occasion, I was out to eat with friends. I either overate, or ate too fast (or a combination of the two). Long story short, I ended up vomiting. I was really pissed at myself, because I tried hard to keep this from happening. Since then, I have practiced asking for a to-go box when my food arrives. I then pack away everything except for what looks like a handful. I eat that, and take the rest home. It is all trial and error, and you learn from your mistakes.

My husband and daughter went to spin class awhile ago and they really liked it. My husband wasn’t in the best shape at that time so that’s really saying something. There are also lolo apps on iTunes. The company is lolo. Apps can be purchased (low cost) and viewed on phone, iPad, etc. each app runs through a series of exercises which are shown on screen. Music can be added and timed. There apps include “7 min workout,” “bootcamp,” etc. You may like those. [emoji272]

Lol I'm sure I would have done that exact same thing. My late husband, I woke up one AM, spoke to him, he didn't answer, touched him and he felt cool, I stuck my hand in the back of his briefs and touched his bum. He woke up, oh my did he ever. Good thing I could run faster than him cause he was NOT happy. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

That's really good weight loss! If I hit 3 lbs a week I'm super happy. You're doing great!
