For-me-and-only-me

I am glad that I have a place such as this to go to. I see that I may not be tw only one. At this point I just need to see the scale move pass what is has been at do the last almost three months.

Right new grand. I was told that by someone who I just saw about two months ago. Like I said my clothes are fitting better. A size 10 pants are looser but the scale says differently.

Well hello everyone. I have been catching up on the posts and it looks as if everyone is doing great. As for me my word is frustrated!!! Nothing has changed since my last post. I upped my calories changed my work out routine and still nothing. I go between 158-160. I am about 25 away from goal. I have talk to nut and such and done what they have advised. Please chime in in anything that can help. How can I jump start my metabolism and is it possible to bottom out only after 8 months.

I was sleeved September 19th. I do journal my meals(mfp). I just know its very frustrating. I see 6months is a stall time(very long stall).

No everyone:( I can't believe that I am still not loosing. I have been like this for almost two months. I have gained 7-8 lbs. this is soooo frustrating. PLEase any help. The nut just say up your calories. I am very uPset by this. I eat Correctly, exercise water please hel0!!

I know how you feel. I have gained like 7lbs. Went to my 6mknth checkup and was advised that I really don't get in enough calories especially for my workout regimen. I have placed my body into starvation/survival mode do I have to change some things eat more etc. we will see. Hang in there. Aldo my vitamin d was almost none do that has an impact on weightloss mood swings energy etc.

New thanks do the encouragement and info. I need to have my Calcium again also I didn't exercise for a couple of days, ate a lil more and stayed with my water intake(no Protein shake) and well this morning I was back down to 157 at least. I will see what I can do to keep it going. I guess I'm just afraid of the carbs!!!

Yeah I know something is wrong. I did labs a few weeks ago and only vitamin d was low so my doc will have something to say about that. I will just keep doing what I'm doing because I think what I'm doing is right and see what happens. I really can't complain. I'm down from 212 to 158-160. From size 18/20 with xl-xl shirts to a comfortable 10 maybe 8 and medium shirts !!!

Ok so I am sooooo discouraged right now. I had stayed away from the scale but hot on recently and almost had a heart attack. Not only have k not lost weight but I have gained weight. No it's not that TOM!! I have gained 7lbs it says!!! I went back to the basics because I was in a stall and usually when I do that it breaks and I loose like crazy. I was 153 now 160!!! I do my protein shake two times a day, get in about 80oz water I eat pretty much stage one and two foods. I'm getting about 70g protein and exercise 5 times a week. I don't know. I have been itching like crazy for the pass six weeks but not all over. Please help!!!!!! Also, sorry about the long book but I am SOO frustrated. Oh yeah and my feet are swollen I think!!!!

I had blood work done last week and I'm defecient in vitamin d only.

I go don't know what's going on for me!!! I saw 153 about 3 weeks ago and since then not only has the scale not move butbitbhas gone up!!! That 153 was after going out of a 3/4 week stall and having to go back to the basics which was just liquids grrrrr. I'm doing that again but I don't know. I work out. Cardio and weights about 5 says a week. Also I have developed a serious itch over almost my whole body(breast abdomen area back of thigh near buttocks under arms etc) am I the only one who has encountered this?

Oh so that's what that is!! Lol!! I have started that today. My birthday is about two weeks away, I'm in a stall and I want to see what I could loose by my birthday. These last pounds are the worse to get rid of. Twenty more to go !!

Right!!! I have had to buy a completely new wardrobe because I have wore the old clothes until there was nothing else I could do to hold them up!!! That's when all the compliments started coming when I wore clothes that I could fit. Tell your doc to get off the numbers and look at the pictures.

What is the 5 day pouch test??

I am celebrating this year!!! 20years of marriage, my 40th birthday 1 year smoke free(and dint even have cravings) and currently about 60lbs light, healthier and wiser!!!! [ATTACH]10401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10402[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10403[/ATTACH]

I went to the bank yesterday and the guy said, "sorry but I would need your I.D. Mrs. Williams to assist you". I had to tell him that US me on my I.D. just 60lbs lighter. He did a triple take, gave me compliments and then tried to flirt!!! I told him thanks and I was flattered but I gave a sob about his age AND I'm married. I put my stunner shades on and walked out with my head held high with a pep in my step!!!!

Hello everyone. So I am a little sad because my hair keeps falling out a lot!!! I am in another stall again!!!! I have decided to go back to the basics like when I came home from the hospital after surgery. I also have to get my mind back in the game. A lot if training at work so that has been throwing me off my game!!!! And again the hair thing is really bothering me!!! Congrats to everyone and keep up the great work!!!

Hi all just checking in. Reading the post it looks like we are all still on the right track. I too am a slow looser and have slowed down even more. My sleeve has done its do now I have to kick it into high gear. I exercise about five times a week and I try and get my protein and water in. From 212 to 160. Just want to see 150 something. Goal is only 30 more away(lol).

I was able to go into a store today and pick out a pair of slacks for work and they fit. A size 10!!! From a size 18/20. 30lbs to goal. One day at a time. 212lbs 160lbs........ goal 130lbs

Yes u am feel colder. It's like the extra weight was a blanket and now it's gone. My family like a it because now I turn the heater on.

I have been away. Things have been getting hard. I am looking that drive. I went. Back to work and was thrown off my routine and its hard to get back. I am going to try and the k in everyday because the support I get from you guys is so wonderful and needed. I have been having a log of hair loss and in a stall for about a month. Please help and suggest I am all ears.
