Ok so I was reading in another thread for short people like myself if u up ur calorie intake u can lose more weight because with the 5-800 calories that I'm getting in my body still feels like it's in starvation mode...anyone here had that experience...I'm 4'9 and I can't seem to get past 157 I'm in my 3rd mnth I know I'm going to lose slowly however I didn't think it would be this slow...I can tell I'm losing inches a lil bit....I still look the same from before surgery...so yes I'm a little discouraged at this point....Don't mean to burden anyone else just had to let that out as I looked at these pics [ attachment=48362:ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1412264686.401330.jpg]

I like working out alone too but I was thinking if I had someone besides my kids with me that would keep me going but you're right because I did have a friend who had convinced me to join the gym before and only went with me once soooo that didnt help at all....I just can't do a trainer I be got mad with them and cursed them out or start to avoid them when I think they are just doing to much for me...I was the same way in the military...(I stayed in front leaning rest position)I didnt think of that with mapmyfitness...thatll work too...guess I was only thinking it would work outside silly me
