Holly5.3 423 Posted July 16, 2013 How's my fellow Octo-sleever's doing at the 9 month mark? Weight loss, for me, is still almost painfully slow...but any loss is a positive at this point in the game since my usual MO was to lose about 60-70 pounds, feel great (start looking better), then fall off the wagon-go back to my old eating (gorging, I should say!) habbits to slowly but surely gain it all back, and then some!! I have some "bad" days, but most days are terrific! Walking, swiming, just plain ole moving -- it's the best! Almost at my presurgery anniversay (8/10/12) and hope to have lost a total of 100 by then (from 278 to 178) but if I don't, it's cool. The weight IS coming off and at some point I will make it to 178! (A year ago, I would never have dreamed I'ld weigh under 200 pounds in a year-love it!) 1 LDallas reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dithdith26 3 Posted July 16, 2013 See, and I will be one year on Aug 22 and have not lost since Jan. I am so upset by this. I dont know why either. Not eating bad, exercising as much as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was told I was being mean in another post, because I was truthful! I try to be encouraging yet I'm honest. Honesty with ourselves is part of the key to success and positive thinking! Good luck to you too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
