Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[ibehere10 163]

So' date=' I am, like most, in yet another stall. I did Lil Diva's Bootcamp to kick start my weight loss (which worked) but as soon as I started reintroducing foods again...BAM, the weight I had lost came back on. I know I need to be patient but I am so close to hitting my goal.....Very Frustrated Today [/quote']

Hang in,you will get there !!

I am in the boat as some of you ladies too. My 6 months sleeversary is Monday and I am down 92lbs with 32 more till goal but have hit a 2+week stall. Started at the gym last week but nothing is moving. It's so frustrating. So close to onederland too.

Takroom, I am so sorry you are feeling frustrated. We completely understand the stalls and the frustration and sometimes it just helps hearing us share to know we are not alone. Patience wasn't added to my nutrition book guidelines. I'm getting close too and in another stall...so sending you hugs!

Lmao yeah me to in 1 week I'll be 6 months and that puts me At averaging 1.3 lbs weight-loss a week for the full 6 months. That's if I don't count the 4 lbs I put back on this week lmao. And I really have tried and done everything. From working out since day one hours at a time. Not indulging in junk food soda and other things I should not be eating or overheating till I get sick. The very few times that I've actually had a cookie or a handful of chips I made myself get on the elliptical for half an hour each time. Drinking a gallon of Water a day eating 80+ of Protein a day staying under 100 carbs. This is bs I payed 25k for this to loss 35 lbs. I feel frustrated disgusted and defeated I feel like I was cheated out of my six-month honeymoon. Slow I know slow I know hard work and to still be slow. I have every right to be so mad I could spit nails out my butt. Because I have done this right and I have tried my hardest and I have put in effort to get get so little in return.

artsong its ok to be mad, i feel for you really i do. it sucks big time im so confused right now i am going to look at my diet the first 3 months and eat that food and see what happens. i know its a tool and we have to work but when you work and the tool is not doing the job it sucks. hopefully this time next year we will look back and laugh i hope sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[newgrandmother 725]

so i use fitclick to log my food so i went back to december because it seems to be when i was losing 2-3lbs a week to see what i was eating and its seems my carbs averaged out to be higher than my protien intake. so instead of taking in 80+ on protien i will reduce it back to 60-75grams aday and my carbs at about 100grams. i am going to try for a whole week to see what happens. i have tried everything else so lets try this. plus i added working out but the scale and inches are not moving . i will let you guys know what happens

[teatimed 23]

Funny story.

Yesterday I went Bra shopping. They had a bra fitting specialist from Vanity Fair that measured me. As soon as she put the tape measure around my rib cage she said... "Your tinny" I know I must have looked like the world stopped spinning or something... I said to this lady .. " I've been called alot if things but tinny has never been one of them". She looks at me strangely then I explained that I'd lost alot of weight.

I'm telling you.. It felt strange and great all at the same time. It's funny how our brains still see us at Pre op weight.

I have gone from a 42DD to a 34-36D. If this keeps up I may have to buy some new boobs. Lol!!!

[teatimed 23]

Why is it that the boobs are the first things to go???? I'm not there yet, but I can't wait for someone to call me tinny!

I was also shopping yesterday and picked out some clothes to try on, and I was looking at the clothes and thinking "I'll never fit it to these...they're way too small". Once in the fitting room I realized that everything I had chosen was way too big and I couldn't believe it. So you are right, I too see myself at my pre op weight...it's weird!

Anyway congrats on your amazing weight loss Ms Tinny!

I've been stuck at the same general weight for like a month. I don't know what to do. I try to track my food on my fitness pal and I don't go over calories (1200). I've been doing Water aerobics twice a week and training on the couch to 5K for the past 6 weeks. I'm jogging for 20 minutes at a time but the scale just doesn't move. What the heck is going on? Should I do strength training, more cardio, eat more, eat less? This is why I could never lose weight on my own LOL, I never knew what to do!

[newgrandmother 725]
