Sorry! Poor form from me! I'm sure my scale will give me a reality check about eating such things in the morning. I have to say, when I got home and input all the crap I ate today into MFP. I didn't have enough cals to have dinner! (sadface) Anyway, I went over by about 150 cals, but some days are like that. New day tomorrow, and fast day on Monday. Have a nice sleep all.

I've started a new routine at the gym, focusing solely on muscle-buillding . That, plus a vigorous recommitment to ADR and I have decided to not weigh for 30 days! On the 18th I weighed in at 191.2 My ADR is 1650-1700 norms, 600 or less fasts, my exercise routine is 5 days a week, 30 minutes of max/near max weight lifting and body weight exercises with an arms day, back day, legs day, etc.

So, we shall see, wish me luck!

We all hate stalls! But you are still a success! Hang in there girl, it will come off in its own sweet time. You no doubt have lived through many stalls in the past, and broke through them. You will with this one too. 9 POUNDS!!! hurray!!!

Start Date: 7/16/2013

Loss as of: 8/1/2013

-5lbs!!!

Well, I guess it can be "official" I finally broke my stall and now since July 16, 2013 I have lost...

-10lbs

Woo hoo! I teetered on the the -9lbs thing for a loooooong time. So I'm hoping this sticks. I did see a smidge lower than that (-11) last Fri am after my 2nd day of fasting and then the weekend came and there was a dinner party and some lovely Tuaca to drink and that new low-low quickly vanished. But I'm going to call it official since today is my weigh-in day for the 5:2 way.

I've found that what happens with me is I lose to a new low, bounce up a couple lbs, and them stabilize at that low for a week or so. Then that cycle starts again.

Working on staying at low of 153 now. By the end of this week I should be stable unless I get too carried away on feast days.

Start 177

Low. 153 trying to "hold" this weight for a while.

Hoped to get to 150 go by Labor Day but don't think that will be happening unless I somehow "chunk lose". LOL

      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.
