Hallelujah!! The app works!! For now... Well while we were all disconnected I hit a HUGE milestone. 100lbs gone for good! Actually 101 to be exact. To those that have reached this goal, how did you Celebrate it. I want to reward myself but I'm not sure what to do.

Congrats!!!!!

I think we can all relate to this. It is a hard adjustment for us physically and psychologically. I hope it won't be too long before our minds can catch up with our bodies. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will see the skinny you eventually! At least that's what I'm telling myself!

I have moments like that too...I still feel like the fattest person in the room. The good news is...it's not true! It's just in my head from years of it being true! No more for me and no more for you! It'll get better because it IS better.

HUGS!

I'm liking what I see… so long as I am dressed… once the clothes come off, I'm totally self conscious :( I think it's something we all have to work on and deal with.

Team June,

Thanks for those much needed words of support and comradeship :D

I think the problem was I was not measuring my daily goals , Fitness pal , Pedometer , Bathroom scale.< /span>

I guess even-though I know i am doing well i still need the measurements to verify and reinforce my conviction.

one day i wont need to track as religiously as i was but apparently that day is way in the future

today I feel better about what I'm seeing, Just had one of those days... back on track to awesomeness.

Thanks Again

RJ

Is anyone else noticing their weight loss slowing down? I use to average a loss of about 4lbs a week and now I'm at 2lbs. I know it's still good that I'm losing, but it makes me feel like I've done something wrong. I continue to exercise, I upped my calories and Protein since that has helped when I stalled in the past, but it is frustrating. It makes me scared that I will be done losing soon and I still have 98lbs to go before I'm at my goal weight.

Any suggestions?

Hey RJ!

You are NOT the same "fat guy" no matter what the camera says! It is not all about the camera either, a photographer can make you look larger or smaller than you are depending on how they set the lighting and the pose. Compare the pics to ones that were taken a year ago, and I am sure you will see a HUGE difference.

I have a family pic scheduled for tonight - I'm sure I will be looking for support tomorrow!

YES!!!! I am less than 10 pounds to ONEderland, and my weightloss is really slowing down. I went back and looked at MFP where I have recorded my daily weight. The total weight lost had been less every month with October only being about 17 pounds. Unfortunately, I think November will be worse yet!

I am sticking to the plan. Increasing my workouts, by adding one cardo workout class each week. I am thinking that by switching up the workouts, perhaps it will jumpstart the weightloss again.

The most I have every eaten in one day is 700 calories, so I know it isn't that I am overeating! We just have to be patient for our bodies to get on board!!

Best of luck...

Carol

      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.
