spadesmcloven 8 Posted May 19, 2012 Keep up the good work everyone!! Calorie wise how much are you all eating? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nettan 3 Posted May 20, 2012 I am staying between 500 and 800 calories a day. A good program I use to help me keep track of my daily intake is http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/flog.php . I am not loosing a lot of weight at a time. I think I am averaging about 2 lbs a week right now. I am taking it nice and slow and thankful for each and every pound I can wave goodbye too.

spadesmcloven 8 Posted May 20, 2012 Same here I had to up mine to 800-1000 because I want getting in enought and I was stalling majorly. I have only lost 21, but am so happy that is gone!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danyelleb 386 Posted May 20, 2012 I'm consuming anywhere between 500-700. I only stalled during week 3. Fortunately I always lose something. The lowest I've lost in a week is .6 and the most in a week is 7 pounds. I exercise five days a week for 50 minutes. My arms are getting crazy flabby and so is my apron. I think I need to add more weight training. This is the thing I need to really work on. I have one more week of school and then I'm on summer vacation. Woo-hoo! This will give me more time to focus on me. I can't decide if I want to do a boot camp thing or maybe use a trainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted May 20, 2012 I'm trying hard to up my calories and carbs, per NUT. Today I was at 651 cal/35 carb/29 fat/53 Protein (actually about 15 more that I forgot to log). It was hard for me to eat that much today, and still enjoy a day out with my family. Now from that, I burned about 950 cals through (cardio) exercise. And still stalled AFAIK. I assumed NUT will want to weigh me Mon or Tue so I'll know for sure then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spadesmcloven 8 Posted May 20, 2012 I need to start back with the exercising as well. I think that will really help. My schedule is so busy lately at work I am working overtime and am exhausted by the time I get home. Hope you ladies keep up the good work and stay in touch!!

Wheetsin 714 Posted May 23, 2012 I had to go in today for my 2 month post-op labs so I asked to use the scale while I was there. Guess what? I weighed 11 oz less than I did 5 weeks ago. This was also at 2pm and I'd been fasting since 9 the previous night, so those silly 11 oz weren't really a loss. Not that 11 oz would be a loss anyway. So I'm still good and stalled. Heading into 6 weeks stalled... and 9 weeks sleeved. I have patience, but this is really, really getting ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spadesmcloven 8 Posted May 23, 2012 Up your calories no more than 1000 a day. It really helped me! What are you taking in now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDFinn 118 Posted May 23, 2012 It does get very depressing when you are eating so little and incredibly....the scale doesn't move! Thankfully I seem to be losing again, but slowly. I am 10 wks out and down about 36 lbs. I would love it to be faster, and more but it is what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
