September Was Your Progress?

[cece611 6]

I'm currently at a stahl... Day of my surgery 9/14 I was 258 I am now 209. I'm losing almost a pound a week and feeling a little discouraged the only thing left for me to do is focus more on exercising...hopefully that'll work. Good luck everyone!!

Everyone is doing great! A loss is better than a gain don't be do hard on yourselves. Post surgery 5 pound was easy to gain. let's be optimistic

[cece611 6]

Absolutely, I would have never been able to lose 49lbs in four months otherwise. It's just a little discouraging when you've lost so much and now it starts to slow down, I was hoping it would slow down after I was below 200-lol, only 9 more to get out of here!!! lol

Dont get discouraged! I was sleeved on 9/19 and I hit stalls all the time. I went 3 weeks once before without a loss and other times I'm just like you where I would lose only a pound a week. You are still losing so that is a positive

I will add the same advise!!!! I was done on dep 18.. Down 50 lbs as of today. I have hit a few stalls and way too frequent.. I have only dropped eight lbs in 8 weeks!!! I watch calories and have worked out a TON in past 2 months. My doc said i am crazy and that most people don't lose 50% of excess wight until 6 months.. Also, we hit our set point and , to be honest, i feel great at 210 lbs today, even though I was hoping for 190

Cece611, I was sleeved the exact same day as you on 9/14 and I am also in a stall, ugh! We just have to hang in there and let our bodies catch up and then it will keep dropping! I hit right at 50 and then nothing now for almost 2 weeks! Evidently, this is completely normal and we just have to be patient

[NJSleeveboy 212]

Yeah. Tiny tiny part of me is frustrated that the addictive days of losing a pound a day are gone :-(. THEN I remember that I/we am/are down FIFTY FRIGGIN POUNDS in less than 4 months LOL. I wake up sometimes that it was all a dream. So I put it into perspective :-). Similarly, if I recall the past few January/new years, I do believe I wouldn't go NEAR a scale for fear of the obvious bad news. Soooo WE ROCK!!!

[cece611 6]

Thanks happily sleeved and neilsleeved it's nice to know I'm not alone!!! We just have to keep on going even if its at this slow of a pace, like others said before, it's better than gaining!!

_{I was in a recent stall for two weeks but the scale is moving again. Surgery date was 9/19/12 and to date have lost 66 lbs. From 239 to173. It's so strange but I have only lost one pants size down from size 18 to a very loose size 16 but the 14s still are too tight.}

_{Next dr appt is 4/11/13 and he wants me at 150 by that time (not yet goal weight though).}

_{Do you find the weight loss slower the closer you are approaching goal?}

[N/A 96]

When you reach your goal weight, do you have any vision of if or how your life will change then?
