Thank you guys so much. This makes lots of since, especially since I am going to be down for a while.

I need help! I am out 4 years now, went back to the doctor yesterday after 3 years. I too am struggling with my eating habits. Since my last weigh in with him I only gained 1 lb in 3 years, but by my records I am up 15 lbs and don't want to get back where I was. Any suggestions on what I should try eating, he put me on a 50 gram carbs and the rest is Protein. I don't see the nut until 04/22/19 right before my knee replacement, so I want to see if I can take off the 15 prior to that.

From what my Nut stated to me is that we are not taking in enough calories to burn what we are exercising and in order to lose weight we need to eat a little more calories.
for example: If we are only eating 1000 calories and we burn 500 by working out hard our bodies are going to go into starvation mode and it will not allow us to lose weight, so we need to up our calories by about 200 this way our bodies will be satisfied and will we will start losing. I was at a stall for 3 weeks and now I took what she said and I have lost 5lbs in a week.
Good Luck everyone.

I am from Mesa, AZ I am waiting for my surgery to be approved.

My husband just had his at the same time and he has hit his two week stall as well. You bodies are just getting use to you not eating and trying to hold on to the fat, so don't be depressed. It will work I promise make sure you are following what your NUT says to do follow your plan they set up and it will work. Good Luck...

I am in, but I have been having issues losing, so then I get discouraged and I don't post. I have been stalled for 3 1/2 months now and I am coming up to my one year anniversary and would like to be at least 60 lbs lighter by then. Can anyone help.
the other thing is that I cannot see my surgeon or ny NUT anylonger do them not being covered by my insurance as of this year.
Right now I am at 195 lbs.

I am in. I do not have a Fitbit, but I did ask for permission for the google docs. I am at 195 and want to go down to 180 lbs. 1 hr to 45 mins per day 6 days a week @ Planet Fitness.

I have done a lot of soul searching and I know I self sabatage myself, and maybe that is what you do too. Here is were we will be held accountible and I am glad to be back. Iook foward to seeing how I do as well. So AmyFromCincy please keep going and don't lett want we did be in vain. We can do this. I have another 65 lbs to go and I am glad to see I am not the only one in this situtation. Please keep me posted on how you do.

Is it too late to start? I would like to start this too. I am currently at 195.6 and look to lose about 7.5 lbs by then.

I wore the spandix for the first few weeks after my surgery and it worked wonders for me, but now I am happy with my new look and I don't think this would be for me but nice to know it works for others.

Okay....so you blew it bigtime.
You went on a garbage food binge.
Why?
Why did you sabotage your progress?
Figuring out the why is what I'd be concerned about at this point.
Remember the psyche eval that was part of your checklist items? Maybe there were pre-eval videos you were required to watch....tests to take.....homework to do where you formulated how you were making this YOUR plan. Perhaps you can go back to those and get back in touch with your pre-op self and figure out why you'd sabotage things at this point.
Maybe another visit with a psychiatrist will be beneficial.....or a series of visits.
Maybe you have some type of counseling available through your employee benefits package.
Halloween has passed.....but here comes Thanksgiving and Christmas......times when many folks just pile on the pounds without stopping......then find themselves on January 1st......hoping for control to magically come their way.
Get in charge of yourself asap and solve the "why?" riddle.
Nobody with any sense said this was going to be an easy path to follow.............BUT.......there is a reason you initially chose to go down it. Get back in touch with those reasons.

I am still the same 197

As of today 196.4 Yea.... So excited.

Still 197.4 this week, but going back to the gym, I am hoping this will start to move, but on the other hand, I am almost able to get into a size 16, which is really exciting for me.

I am in. Starting weight 197.6

I had on my bucket like to be able to walk up and down the stairs with out having to hang on and hold everyone up. I am now finally able to do this, my next thing on my list is to be able to get back on a bike and ride it, even if it is just at the gym. We have already planned a cruise for next December 2016, and I want to be able to wear a dress where I don't have to wear spanks.
