i am still at a stall .. I believe that its my meal plan ... I cannot consume carbs (at all)

So tomorrow is six weeks! YAY and according to my scale, I am down 40 pounds. I need to find more time to walk/exercise but with three kids and a fulltime job it is hard. On the up side, I am coaching my son's baseball team this summer so that will help A LOT!

OMG, two weeks till I get a surgery date! Yeah ;0)

Oh my aching body! Week 2 of training sessions - no scale movement yet - but can sure feel the pains of my labor!

1 week and 3 days since my surgery and I feel GREAT! It's all down hill from here!

SOOO--- YESTERDAY WAS ONE MONTH OUT AND REALLY FEELING LIKE I CAN DO THIS. I TRULY WAS NOT MENTALLY PREPARED FOR THE "LOSS" OF FOOD I FELT. I HAVE WORKED THROUGH IT AND HAD A LIGHT BULB MOMENT A WEEK AGO. I FINALLY REALIZED THAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH THIS SLEEVE AND NOT LET IT "GO TO WASTE". I KNOW THAT I DIDNT EAT ALL THOSE BIG MACS IN ONE DAY AND PACK ON THE POUNDS IN ONE DAY SOOO--- IT WILL NOT COME OFF IN ONE DAY!! AHA!!! I AM MAKING GOOD CHOICES AND WALK...

4 weeks today! Scars are almost gone!!! I just may wear a 2 piece someday! I am staying around 184 though iv gone from a 16 to a 12- my body is changing though not as big of a weight loss- thank you all for your support!!

Pre-op testing done. Three weeks until surgery.

Good morning all, I just wanted to share how I was feeling this morning and get some feed back for you guys. I am 30 days post-op and I have only lost 16.4 lbs. last week I didn't loose anything. So most of my weight lost came during the first 2 weeks! I was sure that I would have lost more by now. What am I doing wrong? I must admit that I have been having a hard time finding a protein that I can drink without gagging. All of the ones that I've tried have been disgusting and I c...

Only 2 weeks until pre-op diet begins. I definitely like this countdown more. Happy Tuesday!

14 weeks & 47lbs. down

Day 12 of this stall. Haven't lost anything since one week post-op.

3RD week of stall.. wondering how long my body can fight the weight loss. Would love to hear from others 1-3 months out and how you are doing..

OK - MOnday start of new week.... I am setting my scale aside because it is crushing my spirits. I got on today and it said.. 167 - So NO more scale for a week and we will see what happens. Upping H2O, protein and lowering carbs to see it I can get this going. I was so close to goal before... GRRRRR. Strange thing is my cloths actually feel like they fit better than 2 weeks ago

4 weeks. Things are looking up.

Still stalled around the same weight since 7/17 keep bouncing around thru 2lbs up and down. My body was stuck at this weight for a long time and I'm really learning why I never could stick to a "diet" before. I could never outlast the stalls and my body must be super weight loss resistant!

I need more structure with eating on the weekends. I never make my calorie goals and forget to eat most of the time. During the work week I have a schedule during the weekend everything is out of whack.

Excited as I reached my pre-surgery weight goal! Still have 3 weeks to go!

welcome to medical school - where busting your ass by having no social life for 2 weeks leads to a grade of 62%

Can't seem to budge. It's been three weeks of no progress at all. Just got to Dallas yesterday and will be here for a week without a scale. Maybe I can break my scale addiction LOL! I've only lost 6.5 lbs since January 1st.

My avg. daily fitbit #fitstats for last week: 7,152 steps and 2.9 miles traveled. http://www.fitbit.com/user/2242L2

Is at a stall for like 3 weeks now YUCK!

so I have figured out. I stall a day after my period for about a week and when I ovulate for about a week. Then the weight seems to fall off. I don't change what I eat. Go figure.

Just had my first piece of pineapple since my surgery. Jesus that was the best thing I've ever tasted! Plus, I get to have salad this week too! I'm moving up in the world!!!!

Gonna bump it another week, Cobra payment not processed, shoulda follwed up last week, Dad in town, totally FLIPPED out and flipping me out, I could force the sugery today, but gonna bump a week, that way I only have 1.5 weekends of my festival job left and not 2.5-less chance of issues. My BFF says I am 'sabotoing' it-no, I am really concerned about my job/health so soon after surgery. Plus, I didn't eat pre-op the way I was supposed to this weekend!! One week, just one more week!
