Nice pedi.

Also, I never count afternoon weights. You've eaten. Only morning weight post bm counts. Lol

SCREAMING THE scale IS NOT MOVING AGAIN! It seems every month I go through the same thing. For the 1st two weeks of the month - nothing and then the 2nd half I loss consistently and then I start again at the being of the next month. My scale is still sitting still. I am definitely not going to make it to my goal by October 1st or the way things look maybe not even by the time I go back for the 6 month check-up.

I have decided not to weigh myself anymore this week because its crazy.

One positive is I am losing inches like crazy. I went dress shopping and I am fitting into some 12s - for the last couple of months I have been a solid 14. I guess I should be happy with my results so far. In two months, I loss like 12lbs.

Inches matter. It is totally the difference in between being a 14 and a 12. I've lost 10 lbs in the last month. And it has been slow, but I am so much smaller. That is a win, girl. I have never worn a 14/16 as an adult. The last time I was able to wear a size 14, I was 12 years old. 12! It was 1989, and I was able to wear my mom's clothes. I could borrow her stuff again (at least in tops, she is still smaller than me in the hips, so that's a no go. But anyhoo, you get the point). Just keep in mind the scale is just one indicator. If you are shrinking, take that win and own it. Don't let the scale dictate your happiness, Ria!

Good afternoon losers, just got back from my one mth appmt and since surgery I have lost 22 pounds. I am so happy. I thought I wasn't losing wen in fact the weight was coming off. She said to stay between 800-1000 calories per day as long as I can get do much in. I am doing the fat lady dance. Started at 261#'s now 239#'s. Let's bring sexy and healthy living back. ????????

I agree with you Forsythia. A lot people be chasing the scales and you are losing the inches. The fact that one can get into a smaller size is totally awesome. I don't have any idea ho w much I lost since my last weigh in on Spet 8th. but I do know that I was able to put on a L shirt. i could not button it but I had my arms in it and it was loose in that area. I was not able to even come close to that before surgery. So we have to look at the Non Scale Victories. I was running outside with my youngings today and it felt good. I am blessed, we are blessed! No regrets! Love this sleeve and thread.

Later Losers!

This week was a very emotional week for me for some reason. I was in the mood of I don't feel like doing anything but sleep. So, I would go to work and come home and good to bed. So, I did not workout Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. I finally got myself together Wednesday and had a great workout. I had my trainer yesterday and man did my slacking off show.

I am going to continue to follow the program as I have been doing. I am also going to try and increase my daily intake of Protein. Hopefully, that will make a difference...

GW: 200 Total Loss: 12lbs Remaining: 7lbs Total Miles: 61.61 Remaining to reach Goal: 38.39

I'm new to this group, so please excuse me if my question is dumb. Care you all tracking miles per day in the treadmill? I'm not getting the concept. Is this a running group? Cause all it says is African American

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
