congrats on onederland! isnt that the most awesome feeling?! And im a turtle too, so dont get discouraged! Recently I spend more time in stalls than I do losing.

GB surgery went well, after a couple days I was back to my old self with the exception of lifting. Soooooo much easier than the sleeve!

I do feel good about it. I hovered at 201 for a long long time.

Congratulations on your recovery from surgery. Were you able to get help taking care of your family and animals?

Oh yea I had help, scheduled surgery when hubby was home and he did it all!!! LOL

Where is everyone?

I am so annoyed, I have hit a plateau, and i am really trying to stay positive, but I have bounced around the same 2 lbs for over a month now. Only 27 lbs to get to goal and it seems I have stopped. uuugggghhhhh! Are yall still losing?

[notime 340]

You've lost so much. You should be proud of yourself. I've lost a couple of pounds this last month but nowhere near what I hoped to lose, of course. A member of my local support group recommended that all of us on a plateau go on a diet that has no carbs whatsoever for a short period of time to see if that breaks the stall. I started that yesterday.

Considering I went back and forth between 174 to 170 for more than 2 months, I too hate plateaus! I finally made it into the 160s, weighing 168 today. So that makes a total of 47 pounds for me. No carbs would be very hard for me to do, but anything is worth a try! I'll be interested in how everyone does in your group. Keep us posted okay?

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't checked in for awhile. Everything is going great here. Hubby and I are mending the marriage and I am so happy about that. I didn't want to throw away 18 years.

I have stalled off and on with the weight loss and am currently at 234 lbs from my top weight of 331 and the 328 from surgery day. I am so excited to get to under 200 as it's been approximately 17 years since I have been under 200.

I have not had any complications (other than the GB surgery) but that was bound to happen. I have sold all my 4x and 3x clothing on Ebay and made a good amount of money on them.

I too have not been exercising as much as I should. My 12 hour shifts at the hospital and selling Avon has me really pooped lately, but hoping to get my motivation back. How is everyone else doing?

Congratulations on your progress, dogmom! You should be proud of yourself.

I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Have fun picking and choosing at the Thanksgiving table!
