Wonderful Onederland Reached!

[TheSkinnyCow73 72]

Finally! After almost a 3 week stall it broke this morning and I am at 198.2!!!!! It is WONDERFUL in ONEderland!!! These 13-15 pounds that I have been dealing with for about 4-5 months (when I actually tipped 199) have drove me craaazy!

I am here to tell everyone that the stalls DO break and as frustrating as it was DURING the stall, stepping on that scale and FINALLY seeing it MOVE is soooooo REFRESHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

So everyone that is about 5 1/2 weeks out.... tie a knot at the end of your rope and hang in there, this too shall pass if you are in a stall!!!!

ALWAYS KEEP ROCKIN' YOUR SLEEVE!!!!

XOXOXOX!

Good job Amy!!! I also teetered right on the edge of wonder-land (and then again at my 100 lb mark) and it was horrible.... but it felt awesome when it finally moved! You are right, stalls will happen and they will pass!

Congrats on doing so well!

Thanks Emily!!!

I am not losing as fast as I would have liked but... I am losing! I had a discussion with my mom during the stall and her comment was "surely you didnt have all this done to lose 11 pounds"... uhhh, no!!!!!!!

I cant lie and say the thought of me being THE ONE that doesnt lose weight with this surgery didnt cross my mind!

Congrats to you!!!! Wow! You have done awesome Rockin' that Sleeve!!!

11 lbs is GREAT though!! I know it seems like a lot of people do at least one or two really large drops in the beginning, but you may be like me. I lost 2-3 lbs consistently from the very beginning. There have of course been a few stalls here and there, but that is normal. Also, did you stall at 3 weeks? Pretty much everyone does, but if you didn't this might just be what that was... at some point after surgery your body has to stop to readjust and that is the infamous 3 week stall.

I know slow losing a the beginning is tough, because 2, 3 lbs here and there... 10 lbs overall, 15 pounds... when you are comparing it to the 100+ that most of us have to lose it seems insignificant... but I PROMISE that as it adds up and you look back, those 1 lb, 2 lbs drops will feel amazing! Also, supposedly if you lose slower supposedly you don't have as many skin issues as your skin has more time to keep up with your body. Not sure if this is true, but hey... maybe!
