I've gained 7 lbs. My surgery was a Most exactly 2 years ago. I need a little support. I'm terrified I'll gain everything back

I'm in Plano and could use some help. I can't seem to get motivated to loose the last 17 lbs!!! A support group would probably help. Thanks!!

I've been drinking a bit of wine on the weekends which has really gotten in the way of the weight loss. Need to loose 22 more lbs before May 8. I need some motivation again. Hoping the trip to Mexico on 5/8 does the trick.

Just went shopping and guess what....size 10 even an 8. Wow!

Size 18 pants now 10/12. XXL top now large some mediums (I have rather large bobbies). Goal is a 6 pants and small/medium tops. Start weight 190 now 158ish down 32 lbs and 33 to go!!

Don't get frustrated!! I had a 5 week stall. Only lost one lb!!! I have now lost another 8. There is an article about how our bodies use and store glycogen. This is what causes stalls. Google it and you will feel much better!!! Hey!!! 21 lbs isn't anything to cry about. Good for you!!!!! xoxo, K

I had a 6 week stall, only lost 1 lb. Since January 15, I've lost 8 lbs!! So excited! 13 lbs away from my second goal which is a BMi of 25 and no longer overweight. 10 lbs after that and I'm officially on maintenance. Yippee!! Let's just keep the Girl Scouts (cookies) away from the house!!

Wow! That's all I can say!

I'm with y'all! 25 lbs 9/15 - 11/30. 5 lbs from 12/1 to present. I'll take it. I have 25 lbs more! More than 1/2 way there.

I'm 3 months out and no hair loss. Should I still expect this?

Thanks for this comment. I started at 188. Set a goal of 55 lbs and I'm down 26.5 which is almost 50% of my goal in 10 weeks, so I guess I'm doing pretty fabulous!!!

Try beef Jerky for more Protein. Also, (don't be shocked), try not working out for a week and eating a bit more and then go back to the plan. Sometimes you can trick your body out of a plateau! I was stuck at 166 for an entire month. Stopped working out. Started eating and boom in 1.5 weeks I'm down to 163.5. Also, try using an app like fitness pal or my net diary and see what you are really eating!! Good luck and be proud of you amazing success thus far!!!!!!

I started at 188 5'4". Lost 8 lbs on preop and 19, 11 weeks out. Super slow! Stalled for 3 weeks. Now I'm loosing .5 a week. I'll take it!

I stalled at week 4 and then again at week 9 - 10. I just started loosing again. .5 per days for the past 3 days. Yippee!

I'm cheering. I lost 1 lb in 10 days. I'll take 1 lb every 10 days. That would be 20 lbs by summer. Yeah I can see my goal!

I'm 26 lbs down at 8.5 weeks. I have a total of 60 lbs to loose so...I guess I'm half way there. Just frustrated!

Seven weeks post op 26 lbs down and stalled!! Ugh!!

OMG! So love beef jerky! It satisfies so many cravings...chewy, salty, sweet!! I just bought every package at the store!!

I've only lost 5 lbs in the past month but... I've lost 11 inches in my neck, 15 inches in my bust, and 2.5 inches in my neck! Yippee!

My BMi was 31 as well and even a bit under 30 the day do surgery. I self paid and it was no problem. It's been 2 months and I've lost 24 lbs. it's been very slow for me, about 1 lb per week. I work out 2 hours every day and my average calorie intake is about 700 per day. Actually, I'm getting a bit frustrated. Love this thread. Thanks

Was really bad yesterday and gained 2 lbs. beating myself up!

I just posted my own slip. Went to a luncheon yesterday. Had 3 glasses of wine, chicken creeps, and Apple pie. I gained 2 lbs and I'm beating myself up big time! On my way to the gym! Thanks for your post. I don't feel so alone!!

How many calories are you eating a day?

It sounds like it is working for you. I don't think loosing more than 2 lbs a week is healthy. Congratulations!
