No loss

9/12/14 CW: 207 GW: 187 9/29/14 204 What day of the week do we submit?

Sleeved dec 2012. Lost 100 pounds. Highest 298 current 207. Ultimate goal is 160. Size 24/26 to a 14/12, 2XL to a M. I recently had a steroid epidural injection that caused me to gain weight. I need to get back to basics. Other than cutting calories to 800-1000 what advice do you have? What helps you get over the stalls? What foods...calorie number... Exercise? I need a good jump start again. I tried to find lil divas boot camp thread, but had no luck. Anyone have that? Thanks for your encouragement in advance!

Count me in! Fell off the wagon...steroid epidural injection caused me to GAIN weight. Time to get hardcore again. Ultimate goal 160. Highest 298. Encouragement appreciated. CW: 207 GW: 187

I started the Mayo Clinic Diet today. I mainly wanted to do it to jumpstart things again and to clean my body of the bad junk I have had the last few weeks. I feel ok so far. I will update in a few days with the progress. I have a wedding to attend at the end of next month. That will be the first big event I've been to since I've lost weight. Im 20 away from 100...Yes, I realize I'm a slow loser, but with all that's happened in the last year I am happy with that and working harder than ever! We got this!! Update soon!!!!!

Please post your before and after pics with the amount of weight you've lost with the time frame it took. Pleaseeeee and thank you....post op week one here...need something to look forward to.

Wow!!!!!! Congrats to you!! Looking awesome.

How's everyone's progress? Any new peeps have updated pics??

Guys and gals I need encouragement. I fell off the wagon...high stress of ending a six year relationship, changing jobs after four years, a best friend going off to rehab (shockingly-was unaware of the abuse), a brother going wild, & a few other things just got the best of me. I have sat down and read my book again from the Dr. I've made a food list again and got my mind focused. Please tell me how you jump started if you started slacking. I haven't lost any in a bit. Only down 70 (have thyroid problems so I am a slow loser, but I should have more progress). Ideas of a food plan to jump start things again...I've been looking for divas back to basics thing, but I can't find it. Any other encouragement or things that might help are appreciated. Congrats to everyone!!! P.S. still walking several times a week...mainly need to focus on food I think. ????

8 pounds off this week! Finally my slow loosing is stopping! 63 off...not near most of you guys though. I drop calories and only eating protein.

And some work on my tummy...

How far out were you guys from the sleeve operation when you had your cosmetic surgery? What did you have done? How painful? Cost? Did insurance cover anything? I need a breast reduction, lift, arm lift, & some work done on my thighs. Just wondering about others experiences.

Thanks everyone.

I haven't been on in the last month, but so much has changed. Down 52 lb 12/19/12. I started walking two miles almost everyday and I'm now doing a squat challenge. I'm about to start the breakup process...from a five year relationship. It's not the weight, I am just so unhappy where I am. That being said I am no longer hungry at all. I don't know of it is from exercise or my nerves??? Ideas!? Also my hair is so thin now I loose so much daily....what do you all use to help with this issue. This may sound like a sad or negative post, but it isn't. I'm so proud of my progress, but I'm just a little worried about my hair and appetite. Also all you walkers....how many miles do you do and how often...what's you normal loss pattern? I'm wondering if I should walk more miles daily. THANKS Y'ALL!

Was wrong on stats....was 258....I am now 248!! 50 lb down. 33 left for challenge

Everyone looks so great!

When I was first diagnosed it was 26!!! It got down to normal, but I'm not sure the numbers. I have to get it checked the next time I go to the dr because I can tell I need a different dosage now that I've lost some weight.

When I asked about Advil I was only a couple months out...my RN said take Tylenol for a bit longer. You might try that. Fibro is the worst, nothing soothes me. Try a hot shower or ice or heat pad and movement. I know heat isn't always the recommended but its gotten me through some of the worst times. I pray it eases...I know how bad it can be.

Goal 215 Current 245

Found it!!

Does anyone had the link to lil divas boot camp ?
