Move, move, damn stall!

[jintycb 721]

Weigh in day again and I'm back in a stall. Hey ho. Am I fed up? Am I despondent? Nope. Not one bit. I have got so many NSVs happening that the fact that the scales aren't budging this week doesn't bother me. I feel great. I look a damn sight better than I did 5 months ago and I have ditched 40lbs of useless flab - so far. I started swimming last week and by Friday I was clocking up half a mile (without stopping) in 35 minutes in the pool. The dogs are getting one to two hours walking per day so they are thrilled with my weight loss and fitness gain. My jeans without belt loops (thus nowhere to anchor a belt) are beginning to slide off my arse and I have to hoik them up, when no-one is looking, when I'm out and about. I can get a beautiful pair of Frye boots on that were too tight around my calves not that long ago. I've bought a couple, or three, new pairs of jeans and can get into two pairs well before I expected to. I've still got a way to go yet but just to be able to see and feel results so quickly is just wonderful. I don't feel that my weight loss is too slow. I am only too aware of how long it took me to put it on and it didn't jump onto me over a matter of weeks that's for sure. I spent fortunes and untold hours at Weight Watchers meetings and although I managed to lose weight it never, ever stayed off. Having the VSG has been one of the best things that I have ever done for myself. I just wish that I had done it sooner. It has given me the mental kick up the rear end that I needed to get my eating habits under control. I'm still learning a new way of approaching food but now I have a physical 'stop' button in the shape (literally) of my sleeve. So, I embrace my stalls because I know that my body is juggling and rearranging it's composite parts during these times.

Beautiful post!!

I feel exactly the same. To me it's more about how I feel. The weight is coming off and will either drop quickly or slowly. Hey as long as the body's feeling good no need to fret.

Jinty that is how I feel too. I'm always happy to see the scales moving down but sometimes knowing your jeans are too big and you can get in the next size is even better!

I'm enjoying my running C25k and I never thought I would say that! It won't be too long before I'm up to 100 lb lost and you know what you will not be far behind me

Go girl go !

Great post! I stalled for 2 weeks 2 weeks post-op. I came to find that was common, but still it was frustrating. I'm noticing so many little NSVs here and there that even though the scale isn't always moving (thankfully right now, it is), I'm still making progress.
