HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE!

Today is May 13 - 4 months ago was "our big day".

Highest weight: 222

Starting weight: 211

Today's weight: 169

Goal weight: 135

Today I finally fit into some expensive designer dresses and suits that I loved in the 80's and have hung onto ever since - waiting to fit into them again. Unfortunately although they fit fine they look ridiculously out of style with huge shoulder pads etc - so out they go (along with all my size 20, 18, and 16 suits) to charity.

Time to start saving up for new clothes!

I can't believe it's 4 months already! I'm very happy. When I checked the other day I was down to 213 starting at 259. I'm happy. I know I have to exercise more but that's coming. Time sure flies when your losing pounds!

Hi! I was sleeved also in January. Down 40 lbs and feeling healthier than before...need to exercise as well. Choosing wrong foods sometimes just aching to eat what I want...but I know Protein works best for me! Best of luck. Thinking of all of you...

Anybody get stuck? Sleeved Jan 2014 - Lost 51- lbs so far. But have been stuck for the past 4 weeks. Is this normal?

[hazeleyeflgal 30]

I know!! Sleeved 1/13/14, so almost 5 months now. I've lost 83 lbs., but a lot more to go.

Canovasu - I haven't lost much this past month either. But I have a bad knee and can't exercise much. I found that eating more started my weight loss again. I was only having a shake for Breakfast, then 3-4 oz. Protein at lunch and 3-4 oz. protein at dinner. I added another shake after dinner and that seemed to help.

I started working out more and increased my Protein. I fell off for a few months but I'm back on. I bought a heart rate monitor to track my calories burned during exercise. Our 6 month anniversary is this week! Congrats to everyone. I hope to reach my goals... Staying positive and motivated!!!

[doneganregime1 43]

Happy 6 months to everyone! How's it going?

[hazeleyeflgal 30]

Hi doneganregime1!! Can you believe it's 6 months already. I'm doing well, but I guess I was spoiled by that pound a day weight loss at first. I'm down to about 2 lbs. a week now, which I guess is better to lose more slowly.

Where are you in Missouri? I'm from St. Louis originally.

[doneganregime1 43]

Heyyyyy mine had slowed down too. Had the longest stall. Think it's broken now. Back working out and eating Protein first. Hopefully I reached my goal weight. Staying positive!!!!

I'm in St. Louis now. Born here.

[hazeleyeflgal 30]

I'm still stalling here, but at my 6 month checkup the doctor was really pleased. If this doesn't break soon, he won't be happy next time!!! I always eat Protein first, very little fruit, no breads/pasta/potatoes, etc., a few veggies here and there. Not sure what the issue is. I'm drinking about 80 oz. of Water a day too. I can't do much exercise because of my knee. Maybe that's the problem, but not much I can do about it.

I was born in St. Louis too...down in the city near Grand and Meramec. Then I lived out in south County on Telegraph Road before I moved to Florida.

[Feeling hopeful 1]

I'm at six and a half months and have been stalled for over a month. I am way behind on the tracker app I have. Worried I'm not going to loose more than the 50 I already have.

[hazeleyeflgal 30]

Hello Feeling Hopeful - I was stalled too for a month, so I went back to having just 3 shakes a day and a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I did that for 3 days and the weight started falling off again. Try to just go back to basics and see what happens.

I might also mention that during this "stall" I was still losing inches, so I hope you've been measuring too.

Hi! I haven't been on here for a long time. I so frustrated I hope tomorrow my scale will make me thrilled. I hate being stuck. I'm so close to wonderland!
