Hi all, I am a constant worrier and last week was hard because the scale hadn't budged. Well this morning, it finally did!! I am down 13 pounds in 4 weeks. I finally feel like I have my portions under control and am learning what my sleeve does for me. I went swimming with my girls and husband this past weekend which felt wonderful and I have been getting in my walks. I feel like my pity party is over and I can get moving on losing more and weight. Thank you everyone for all of your support. I'm a new poster but everyone has been very supportive and I appreciate that.

Well done Shelley for hanging in there!! Keep up the great work and I'm sure it'll all be downhill on the weight front from here.

Stalls happen and they are natural because the body needs time to adjust to the changes. I stalled out my entire 4th week but it's moving again. Just remember that STRESS makes it harder to lose weight so just try not to stress when stalls happen :001_wub: Just remember they are natural and normal, and nothing is wrong. If a stall lasts more than 2 weeks then it's time to shake things up and try to get it moving but anything up to 2 weeks just let the body do it's thing and focus your attention on something else like trying some new activities, some new recipes, etc. :thumbup:

you're doing really well, newmommy. you should be proud of every pound that has fallen off and don't worry, as soon as you can and feel like getting more active it will come off even quicker.
