August 2013 Roll Call

[Mocha2871 182]

Well I have not been on here in a long time, so much going on in my life but still trying to get the weight off and keep it off.

I am currently down 79 pounds since Aug 2013. I still have a ways to go but I keep pushing. And I have to agree with other post I have read. I cant seem to get the weight to move from the places I need it to go but my waist line is flying away. I need my butt, thighs, hips, and arms to all shrink. But still its a work in progress!!!

Had 6 month check up yesterday and I have lost 75.1 pounds since August 28th! Per my doctor I need to lose 36 more to reach goal! Almost in site! Happy...

Hi August 2013 sleevers, was peeking in to see how everyone is doing. I am now 7 months post sleeve and down 93 pounds. Unbelievable. Only 20 more pounds and I will be at my goal. It has slowed down to about 5- 7 pounds a month, wearing a size 12 feels better than a 24. I am throwing out all of my big clothes, how about you all ? Anyone finding great fun in shopping for new clothes? Except for the hair loss and elephant skin butt, I feel pretty good. I can also eat about a cup of food at a sitting. How are the rest of you doing?

Was sleeved 8/8/13. Hit -100 lbs today . Long way to go still but it's going.

Kennedy, 100 pounds, congratulations. I hope to join you in that accompllishment soon.

I had surgery 8/14/13...I'm down 113 pounds. Want to drop about 30 more but I'm content thus far :-)

You are all doing so well! I have only lost 66-pounds since sleeved August 23td 2013!

What's your secret? I've been stuck at this weight for about a month!

[Hannah55 79]

I've lost 50 lbs. since august, but I've been bouncing up and down at 270 since Nov., very frustrating.

[bonmilligan 53]

I think I'm cheating too much. I've probably been having more carbs than I should. I'm not good at exercising, either. My doctor said the weight would be harder to lose now. Time to get serious again!

[Kennedy 100]

Believe me, Bon, I've had stalls too. I seemed to yo yo around in December and January but really didn't lose anything. My NUT told me to switch up and eat up to 30 carbs a day for 2days and on the third day, eat up to 100. At first I had a slight gain, but then it seemed to kick in. Also, we joined a gym and started doing Water aerobics about 3 weeks ago, which has really helped. I started at 410 and now I'm 310, so I've got a long way to go and I know the next 100 will be even harder. We can do this. One meal at a time.

[NiyaChi 7]

Hello All- I was sleeved Aug 1 since then down 73 pounds. Losing very slowly, I am in average losing 4-5 pds a month

[LI Gemini NY 607]

We really need to consider what percentage of our weight we actually lost instead of complaining about only this and only that and how slow etc etc! You may be surprised!

[Kennedy 100]

LI is right. I like that My Fitness Pal shows me the percent change in my body weight. Also a lot of times, weight loss is slower if you aren't really big to start with. I stared at 410.
