[Flo-grown 195]

HEY guys! Im new here. I see a couple surgery twins! RNY 7/31/19 I just stepped on the scale earlier and it said 229!!!!! I'm below 230's now! WOW! I about cried! So I am never hungry! I have no desire to eat. And i hardly ever have cravings. I literally have to force myself to eat everyday....Is there anyone else going thru that too?

Welcome!! Great job!!! I have days that I have to make myself eat too. Yet on some days I do get hunger pains. However I can eat a few small bites be fine for a few hours [emoji4]

I felt skinny this morning for once so I snapped a pic. I then added it to my collage and what a difference! I still can't believe the first picture is me. But then I still feel like I look like the first picture and that even though I've lost 45lbs I still look that big. Now seeing the difference I gotta push myself to believe I am changing and to stop seeing myself as before. I'm 5lbs away from the half way mark of my goal weight and I'm 17lbs away from Onederland! I can't wait!

Update, I gained 3 lbs last week but lost 2 lbs this week. We had catered Breakfast and lunches brought in last week for my team and I made some poor decisions but this week I'm focused and back on track. I was miserable last week. This 1st pic was taken yesterday the other one a 3 weeks ago.

What a difference! Pretty woman before and still are, but you can see how well defined your cheekbones are, etc.

Great job!!

Back in a stall. Am not happy to be honest. Over the past 2 to 2.5 ks I've actually went up almost 2 lbs. I cut my calories for the past few days back from the 800 calories my dr gave me and was hitting around 600 to 700 calories. I managed to get '1' lb off...

I intellectually understand that stalls happen but inside my head panic sets in and thinks if I can now only lose ONE or TWO lbs a month - this will TAKE FOREVER! I was settling for maybe a 1-2 lb a week weight loss and had lowered my expectations...as that would give me a loss of anywhere from 4.2 to 8.4 lbs a month. NOTHING like what I'm seeing with most people especially as I'm 10 days shy of being 3 months past surgery.

This is the "time" when we are supposed to lose the most weight so I'm getting a bit concerned.

Hi guys,

I am going through a three-week stall. Kinda bummed. Have lost 0 lbs- maybe +/-1 over the three weeks. I did increase my calories during this time and feel my hunger is back- I obviously dont eat as much as I used to, but I do get hungry nowadays. I wonder if this is it. Maybe all my body wants to lose is 50 lbs. I was really hoping to reach 155 lbs.

Well, hopefully this is just a stall and not end of the road.

Hope all the others here are having better luck.

[MeowAMR 219]

3wk stalls are normal. I know how hard it is to be positive about stalls, but they are just that stalls. You'll definitely lose again. I would put the scale away and not check my weight for awhile. Hope yall break your stalls soon. I know normally there is a 3month stall and we are all coming up on our 3 month so we should all start stalling soon if you're not already. I'm not looking forward to it...
