I'm stalled... I'm not getting enough rest at night and it's throwing it all to hell. I'm going to school 4 nights week, work full time and I'm having issues getting to the gym. I live in an apartment (2nd floor) so I'm worried about jumping around at home. I need to get over that, but then I'm not sure what I should be doing at home. Any ideas? Anyone know of a DVD or something I could do? I feel good. But I feel like the scale isn't moving or matching how I feel. Lacking motivation and time. Any support our ideas will help.

It gets easier, it is really tough in the begining.

I've been slacking.... I just started an evening LPN program and it's kicking my ass, I'm also working full time. I'm having problem finding time to go to the gym. I always feel better when i make it to the gym but my day goes like this.... Up at 4:30-4:45am, leave house by 5:30 am. Work 6am until 2pm. School starts at 4:30pm but I normally get there by 4 pm. Class ends at 9:00 to 9:30pm. Go home, try and study normally I. bed between 11:30 pm- 12:30am. I almost forgot i have physical therapy for my foot/everything else 2-3 times a week. And then it starts again. I have school Monday thur Thursday. My days off are Friday- Saturday. And I'm having major issues accomplishing much on my days off. I feel like I'm behind.... I just don't think I've los lots enough.... I'm stalled.... Tired.... And a little overwhelmed.. Any ideas? Thoughts? HW:297 SW: 252- (10-28-15) CW:209

@60&goin4fit.... thank you for the support.. Really thank all of you for the support.

I'm at a stall.... I started school about two weeks ago and it has interfered with my gym time. That and I've been going to physical therapy for my foot. I miss going I miss having the time to go. I need to get back in there. I just need more hours in a day.

It's been interesting for me.... today is day 75, I finally went and got smaller uniforms at work, which I had been putting off I didn't want them to be to tight. My job can be physically demanding. Plus who wants to be Stuffed into clothes for 8+hours. I've been wearing the new ones, but even they baggy. Since surgery I've loss around 37 pounds. I go to the gym for at least an hour 4 times a week, mainly cardio for now...I'm still having an issue with my hair. It used to be so thick and now I run my hands through it or take a shower and I have a whole handful in my hands. HW: 298 SW: 252 Current: 215 Good luck everyone

I'm 29, had RNY on October 28th. So around 6 weeks out. I'm 5'4 weight right before 250, out of hospital at 252. I'm down 25 pounds. And so happy about it. My highest weight was 298. Worked hard to get my pre surgery weight as low as I could.

@@JengaBee, @@RollingRing, @ pink 22 and anyone else. I'm 6 weeks out, the first week was the hardest for me. I questioned myself about surgery, but the doubt never lasted long. My recovery went smoothly. I would forget and needed to be reminded I just had surgery. The night before surgery I started a notebook called "The next Chapter, began on October 28, 2015" I wrote down everything I was thinking, feeling and accomplishments. Anything that crossed my mind it probably doesn't even make sense. I continue to use this notebook. I try to write in it daily. I have decided I will not look at any of the entries until my one year mark. That way I can look back at my feelings and appreciate everything I have accomplished. Now this isn't for everyone. But it worked for me. There will be difficult days. I felt like you do, up to the night of surgery. Do I really want this, do I really need this? I had to accept the fact I wouldn't have worked this hard to make it happen if it's not something I want or need. The whole process took a year for me to complete. (Insurance hoops) I would do it again. Just know it's okay, you planned to do this for a reason, you started this process for a reason. Trust yourself. Sending positive thoughts your way.

So happy for you.... I remember what it felt like getting the news. I had surgery in October. It really does change life. I'm only 6 weeks out and down 25 pounds. So happy for you. Which surgery are you planning on getting? So happy for you!!!

I had my 6 week appointment yesterday. My doctor was happy with my weight loss. She said to keep working on getting all of my protein and water. She is really happy with my results so far, 25 pounds. She thinks I be very successful. I have another appointment in 2 months. Good appointment.

I'm so happy to hear that.

@ Kelcified how was your first day back.
