African American Sleevers

[sqzbly1908 6]

I am still in the challenge, however, I have not been doing my walking/exercising this week...but I am doing well with my food and lost an additional 5 lbs this week. This brings me to a total of 31 lbs lost since my surgery on 6/30/14 - so I am pretty excited about that...

I need to incorporate some kind of exercise regimen as I know I could have lost a lot more

Hi Friends I need your advice!

Over a week ago I started working out about 5 times a week. I have gotten more hungry since beginning that but Im still keeping my calories under 1,000. Usually they are 800-900 calls per day. Well I've been in a stall for a little over a week now - about the same time as I began exercising. What the heck is going on. Can I really stall because Im exercising or eating more even though my calories are still low????

I would try increasing your calories 1 day and changing your workout slightly. Your body maybe use to your routine.

Any time you up your workouts your body is going to react. Typically by holding onto the weight. At least for a little bit. You need to off set that by upping your calories/getting a bit more Protein and carbs. I always try to get up above 1000 calories on my workout days (It does not always happen, but I try). That seems to work well for me because since I've done that the losses have been steady.

Wow..I have never heard that before, but just to be on the safe side, I am taking Keratin Booster (I was taking them anyway) - I just started back taking them about 2 weeks ago...I LOVE these supplements!!

@@nx4slim, I am three days shy of my 5th month and I haven't lost that much hair. My hair sheds but not bad.

They say it starts in month three if it's gonna happen. .I am 3.5 months out. I've not noticed any unusual hair loss. I stopped relaxing my hair a few years ago, but my texture is not coarse/kinky, rather its fine and curly (or frizzy as my dad likes to call it). I do lose a lot of hair, but that is because I wear it curly and when I wash it after the gym or my swims its all matted and gnarled up and I have to really run my fingers through it to wash/condition. Today I flat ironed it and it looks the same as it always does. But I'm monitoring it closely!

I lost tons of hair about 3-6 mos post op. But I always lost hair after any serious stress. Physical or emotional. It all grew back but I just had a baby 2 mos ago so I expect some fall out starting maybe next month.

I was close to goal before having my baby and I was still curvy but I was soft even with working out I didn't have much muscle definition. I'm working on that this time.

Hi All, I am just reporting in for this week. This week was a hard week for me. I was going through this craving spell where I wanted things not good for me (my old emotional habits). I purchased these 100 calorie Lorne Doone.Even thought, I did go to the gym 4 times including this afternoon. I had great sessions with my trainer.
