I had a New Year's Eve Goal of 199 lbs...didnt happen... January 31st goal of 190.... not going to happen

Im not discouraged at the weight not loss just frustrated with the scales and the things getting in my way....

Last week I had a Migraine from hell for 3 days then mentrual cramps... Didnt go over in calories but made a couple of bad food choices.... I still managed to get most of my exercise in...

This week I have a bad cold & bronchitis... Im mostly on liquid diet because thats all I can handle... not going over on calories but havent exercised since last week... Today is the first day I feel like I can hold my head off the pillow without crying...

and thus the scale has NOT been my friend

Jan 1: 210.4

Jan 7: 209.3

Jan 14: 204.9

Jan 21: 202.2

today 201.8

it should NOT take a month to lose 10 lbs....

Overall Im happy... Im down over 70 pounds from my HW 6 months ago.... I am solidly in a size 14 which I havent worn in 13 years..... but frustrated none the less....

I have decided that From February 1 to March 1, I will NOT look at the scale AT ALL.... I will record my weight as well as my neck, bust, waist, hip, thigh, and calf measurements on Feb 1... then not again until March 1....

I don't want to upset you, but after your initial loss and now that your bmi is only 31.1, I think 10 lbs a month is pretty normal. The weight loss is going to slow down the closer you get to goal. Plus, 10 lbs a month gives your skin some time to catch up. Hang in there. You are doing great!

I think you are going great! And you need to remember (although it is hard) at least the scale is consistantly moving down!

I am kind of where you are right now. Kind of frustrated but hanging in there. I was really sick two weeks ago so I stopped working out and then I went on a little mini vacation last week and didn't work out again. For me that is the ONLY way I lose weight (which is kind of a bummer). But I think we have made great progress thus far! Keep it up- hang in there! Get back to the gym! I think once you get your juices flowing again with exercise- things will start to change. At least that is my hope for the both of us! :)^_^;)

scale has NOT been my friend

hey bud

congrats on your accomplishments - good for you!!!

70 lbs gone since highest weight WooHoo!!

migraines, menstrul cramps, cold, bronchitis????

girl, you've been through the wringer!! :angry:

glad you are on the mend :)

like lovetennis said - at this point you "might" lose a bit slower. losing 10 lbs a month is GREAT

throwing that scale away for a month - good luck on that!!hard to do, but go for it!!!, couldn't hurt!!!!

frustrated????

vent away - we're good sounding/listening boards!! :)

take care bud

you are on the right path, going "downhill' :lol:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
