Melting Away?

[peacequeen 434]

I've been more than positive over the past few weeks. I'm trying to stay that way but after reading for the 3rd time how "you'll just melt away"..it's just not happening for me. This is the hardest I've ever had to work at losing weight. I don't have regrets but I'm not jumping for joy either. I've always been a hard worker and I don't expect things to come easy but I don't understand why I'm not melting away. I lost 5 pounds last week just to gain 3 back this week...I'm just feeling really discouraged this morning,,maybe it's the rain.

Try going to the gym or walking I found it keeps my mind of the weight loss and make me realize that everyday is a step closer to being healthy

I'm a slow loser too. Maybe we won't lose as much hair.

Peacequeen, dont stress it! You will lose weight! Just make sure you are getting your Protein, taking your Vitamins and drinking all your Water. Get in some cardio if you can. Not only will it get your heart rate up, but probably make you feel better. And the bright side, the slower you lose the less loose skin you have. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I know those words dont mean much when you are not losing but it will happen. Maybe you need to reevaluate your eating plan? Do you have a smart phone? Myfitnesspal app. has been a huge help to me. Keeps my protein and carbs in check. Good luck my fellow December Diva!

Myfitnesspal has been a one of the best tools I have...it helps you stay on track with your cardio and food intake

[fluffylibra30 323]

yeah, i love that it even keeps track when you do housework! i scrubbed my kitchen floor on my hands and knees over the weekend, (not something i do often, just spring cleaning) and after 2 hours i was sweating, my arms and legs were so freakin sore and i said "self, this feels like cardio" so i looked it up and low and behold 2 hours of hard core cleaning is 600 calories!

I gained this week too! I'm so pissed! I'm doing what my Dr says and I Freaking gained!!!!

Weight will fluctuate guys. I'm almost 9 months out and go up and down between 2 to 4 lbs all of the time. make sure you get your Water in. It does help. Start moving and you will notice the difference! Good Luck!

[peacequeen 434]

I do inclined walking everyday on my treadmill and I work out on the home gym. Guess I'll mix up my eating routine and see what happens. Thanks yall.

I can't figure out myfitnesspal..it seems a bit complicated for me. If I had someone to show me how to use it, it might be a good tool for me.

I took my scale out of the bathroom and only weigh myself on Sunday's. I was becoming manic about my weight. Just follow your plan drink your Water and do your workouts and you'll shed the weight.

Girl my scale finally broke yesterday and I thank god for that . I am not buying a new one until get over my scale OCD. Is normal to bounce 2-3 lbs here and there ,don't get discourage ,the weight will come off sweetie

I lost my prior post to you, but i have a lot of the same feelings at times. I lost as much weight in the three months preop as I've now lost in the 3 months post op. But I guess the overall good way to look at is it that the trend is downward. And we're hopefully going to be able to keep it downward. Despite our concerns and slowness, what positives can we focus on? I try to think about all mine as much as possible and give myself credti for the good behaviors I am doing.

I have a lot of work to do on cravings and emotional eating. The sleeve keeps me wel lin check at meals, but eating snacks/slider foods was more of my downfall, and perhaps my decision for sleeve should have been RNY. Might have been a stronger tool.

Omg I'm so right there with you!!!! To me I feel like I'm on another weight loss diet that I'm gonna fail.

I've worked so hard and see less results than I did before the surgery. Now I'm told these results will last longer but they still require lots of hard work.

I'm 4.5 weeks PO and week 2.5 to week four I lost nothing but actually GAINED 2lbs.

This week I lost three so am now at a one pouf loss for over three weeks time!!!

How's that supposed to feel other than depressing!!! ????

[sleeve 4 me 910]

Awwwww I totally understand how you feel! That scale can be CRUEL!!! It use to DRIVE ME CRAZY!!! You have an awesome attitude my friend, don't let it get you down...(((HUGS)))
