Mel3620 299 Posted October 2, 2013 Don't worry you will continue to move forward! I'm struggling too but a bit differently. I'm at 226-- lowest I've ever been in my adult life by about 25 lbs' date=' and I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I need to (and will) lose more. My goal is 175, so I've got a good way to go. But I don't even recognize myself. All my friends, co workers- all who are very supportive and so happy for me- think I look great, but they are seeing me like I've never been as well. I have to really believe and know that I am NOT DONE YET! I need to keep losing and get to my goal. I am so grateful for this forum and knowing I'm not alone.[/quote'] I agree that this forum is great! I know the people here rely understand. We can do this! 1 Kristi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhyzell 70 Posted October 2, 2013 How many ounces are you guys eating in a serving? I am still only able to get about 3 maybe 3.5 ounces in during a meal. I measure and weigh all my meals. Is this pretty average to the rest of june surgeries? I ear between 2.5 and 3ish.

Kristi 195 Posted October 2, 2013 I am so frustrated! I have been stuck at 209 for about 3 weeks. This is the weight I have been at before and could never get below. I gave up after a few months and gained it all back and more. I am so afraid I will give up. oh my goodness! I'm stuck at 209 too! you are not alone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristi 195 Posted October 2, 2013 I took a new picture this morning to try and lift my spirits since the scale is not moving. I'm celebrating little victories... Friday was homecoming and I was a chaperon. A former student who I have spent a lot of time with asked her sister who the new teacher with short blonde hair and glasses was.... it was me!!! lol Mind you I shared a cabin on the senior cruise with this young lady last spring. LOL so that was exciting... and then yesterday I went shopping at Old Navy for MYSELF for the first time ever! Bought a cute little dress in a size XL happy dance here! I go for my 3 month check up tomorrow... was really hoping to be in onderland, but I'll be happy at my 209 even though I'm sure it'll be a little more since it is in the afternoon and not first thing in the morning. I'll get there soon! 1 YoColeFleet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
