TamaraS 235 Posted October 24, 2012 I actually had a 2 week Stall but I am still very happy because since surgery a month ago I have lost 21 pounds! I started getting so upset and frustrated with myself during the stall and "slow weightloss" but then I really put things back in perspective. If I do my best and lose 20 pounds a month or close to it, I will be down 100 in 6 months!!! How crazy is that?!?! I Isn't it exciting to see the scale moving downward? I know I would not have been able to lose weight and keep it off without my new little tool. I am so thankful for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
