I'm down from 236 to 174. That puts me down 62. I'm very happy!!! I'm also concerned I haven't lost in a month possibly 2 months. I think I have made to many allowances. I'm nervous I stretched my stomach, is that possible ? I started to lose hair, no bald spots but my brush has a lot of hair feel like I'm shedding. I've been focusing on my Vitamins and feel the hair situation is getting better but not thick.

I don't think you've done anything to your stomach- you're saying you've been making too many "allowances". I would have to say that's your issue, probably. But get back on the wagon- you can do this! As for me, I am down 93 lbs since surgery and down 123 total. Been stalled for a couple weeks now. I have a hard time getting motivated to exercise and I also have been getting a little too "comfortable". Not really overeating, but not watching everything like I should. Back on the program this week and fasting 2 days (yesterday) and tomorrow. I just started a new job, so everything has been a bit of a challenge...how's everyone else?

What does fasting for two days do? What does that mean ? Not eating? I feel the same as you not over eating so much but not watching what I eat. I've heard that some people do a liquid diet for a week. What works for u?

I am down from 296 to 184 today! That is down 112 pounds!!I am very happy but I am starting to realize that if I get too comfortable then I don't loose as much! This past month I only lost 5 pounds! I am a teacher so starting school and work again is always stressful! I am thinking positively thought because I feel like what this past month was like is kid of what maintenance will look like and I didn't gain so that is good! Keep up all the hard work and as for the hair shedding I am having the same problem! I got a Biotin supplement and have been taking those! I have found that three a day is about what I need to slow the hair loss!!! I have super thick hair so I am ok for now but I worry that if I keep losing hair that will change! Paranoid about my hair!!!

I'm down 66 pounds post-op and 94 pounds in all, but I'm still considered obese! So, I have some work to do...to the tune of 60-80 more pounds to lose! My weight will then be normal to overweight... Anyway, I'm quite happy with my progress.????
