Whoot.....Whoot !!!

Gorgeous !!

Wow....you look great !!

Sounds like your protein and calorie intake are good....how about your carb intake.?? My nutricianist wants me under 50 per day. Your body could just be adjusting too. Hope it doesn't last long for you...

That's GREAT !! Congrats !! I hit onderland yesterday.....it is a great feeling....I was worried when I got up that I would have gone back to 200.... But I was 198.... The farther away the better I feel!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone.....

Finally under 200 !!! Weighed in at 199 this morning...I had been stuck at 202 for over 3 weeks. It was so frustrating. I saw my nutritious on Tuesday. She looked over my daily intake (I log everything in on my fitness pal). The told me to get 80 protein, 800 calories, and under 50 carbs a day. I was only getting my protein up to the 50's and my carbs were up in the 70-80 range. I made the adjustments, and immediately I started loosing again. My surgery date was 8/7/12. I feel like I'm back on track now.

Wow....that's great!

I started adding a spoon of ground flaxseed to my food...it seems to be helping....

Welcome Aimee....sounds like you are off to a good start !!

WOW...amazing.....thanks for sharing!!

211-surgery day (8/7) 202-8/24 201-8/31

Wow....you've been through a lot !! Hope your days are better now.

I tried the Depo shot years ago....it screwed with my emotions...I couldn't stand to be around myself!! I've had the Mirena for the last ten years (2 implants 5 years apart). It's been great not having a period, but for me it was very painful having it put in...which is why I'm not having a third one. I told my husband he could get snipped or we could have a baby....he's 56 and I'm 47....he decided to get the first option. I don't think it's painful for everyone....it was just difficult getting mine in which took more time and caused more pain.

I couldn't wait to have them. My doctor gave me the ok at week three (purée stage). I've tried them twice and got sick on them both times. At my support meeting several people said the same thing. Hopefully I can handle them in the future. Hope you don't have the same problem.

Yay!! Happy for you!!

Has anyone got the Fitbit to go with My Fitness Pal? If yes, does it work good?

Me too!! I lost 9 pounds the first week. I am now three weeks and nothing!! Except the one pound I was up yesterday....ug....I seen my nutritionist last night at a support meeting and she said to stop stressing about it. Even though the scale isn't moving, I am noticing a big change in my cloths. I went shopping and the smaller sizes I fit into did lift my spirits!!

I woke up several nights with similar pains.....my doctor thought it was muscle spasms....they stopped before I even took the meds he gave me for it....hope all goes well for you.

You did the right thing!

211-day of surgery (8/7/12) 202.6-last Friday 202.4-today So frustrated ...been jumping between 202 and 203 for 10 days now!!! Thought I would be in the 100's by now ????

You're doing great! What did your doctor say about exercise? I'm just a couple weeks out....I'll be asking my doctor about it on Friday.
