You WILL get there!! I have had many stalls and drops, your body has to adjust to changes. Don't be so hard on yourself- you have had an amazing loss so far!!

I had my goal set at 180 for 1st day if summer.

I'm stuck at 185. :-( But I did lose 25lbs. Got into onederland. And now am no longer obese. Maybe I can drop 5 by the 4th of July. Weight loss has slowed a bunch, but not giving up!!!

Updating:

DOS 10/11/12 278

Weight at Setting of Goal 220

CW 5/23/13 190

Goal for 6/21/13 190

Made my goal and now I am going to be very aggressive and shoot for that 180 by first day of summer. Now that I am 7 1/2 months out things are slowing down so I don't know if I will make 180 but having a goal that may be hard to reach will just push me harder!

Today is my weigh day and I am 1 pound from my "aggressive goal" of 180 (hit 181!) 3 pounds till 100. Very very happy with my progress.

When I set the goal for first day of summer I was 220 and today 181! Wow!

I wanted to be at 175 for CW- would have made it 100lbs gone... but only made it to 178. :angry:

Is there a July 4 challenge? maybe I can tweak out those last three piunds by then. :)

Actually, still really happy. Weight loss is trikling now at 7 months, but still feel great.

Ok I'll play! My Summer Challenge is to be 180lbs by June 1st. I am currently at 219 down 80lbs since being sleeved Dec 5th. I would like to be at 150 by Aug 24th which is my 23rd Anniversary and my Sons Wedding date!

Wishing everyone success on their Summer Challenge!

Whoooo Hooooo I feel like the ill engine...I think I can I think I can.....I stalled for about 6 weeks and finally lost 4 lbs. I am plugging away and hope to be at the 180 mark soon. I guess I will have to reconfigure the 150 date. But I am the incredible shrinking woman! I guess I'll take the slow as you go approach! I am down from a size 22/24 to a size 14. I feel better than I have in years as far as the energy level is concerned.

I did not meet my goal either - I am 176 as of today, and I have been in a stall for about two months. During this time, my mother in law became very ill, went into hospice (in another town), and passed away. With all the travel and stress, and having to "make do" with what was available for me to eat, I have really seen the effects of stress and chaos on the healthy journey. We are slowly getting back into our routine, AND I DIDNT GAIN ANYTHING!

Setting these short-term goals is very helpful to me, and I really enjoy seeing everyone's progress!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
