2 Month update



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was 2 months for me. Still at 57 pounds down - been at 270 for a week now. Hovering between 270-272 depending on the day. I've been following my plan, tracking my food and everything but still no movement. This is my first true stall, the others were just slowdowns but I'd still lose a pound or two over the course of the week. It's incredibly frustrating. I hope I'm not one of those who lose 50-60 pounds quickly and just stop. I didn't do all this just for that.

Working out has been going good, hitting it at least 5 days a week. Lifting 3x and barre or walking the other 2 days. I plan to go home and walk 3 miles today and hope that helps my stall. I'll be INCREDIBLY mad if I hit Xmas at 270.

It will un stall (is that a word) been stalled a few times - but they let loose after about 8 days

I agree the working out is really doing the job I am on week 3 of cross fit and can already tell

There is no such thing as people not being able to lose weight. The only people who stop are those who:

a) Put themselves into starvation mode, and get a protracted stall while losing muscle mass.

b) Eat in you case, over about 2600 calories per day.

It's just math, and you have been doing great. But honestly you are at the weight now, that I started at, so there should be no difference between us from here on out, except you've got more practice 🙂

Ok - I'll hope for something tomorrow or on Xmas then! And of course this was preceded by a random drop from 274 to 270 last week so I'll just say it took me a week to actually lose that 4 pounds lol!

Thank you! Logically I know the math is there I burn 400-800 cals a day working out depending on what I do and I eat around 750 cals a day so it's just a matter of catching up and making it all work out!

Just like fluffy said. Stick to you plan. Stalls happen. It happened for me at about the same time. i was stuck and thought the surgery failed me. I think all of us at one point have had that doubt. No worries. Out of no where the weight will drop again. Its an even better feeling when you break a stall. So hang tough!!

Got on the scale this morning and saw 268.5! Had a nice 3 mile walk yesterday and I'm going to hit the gym today. Would LOVE to hit 267 this week and be at 60 pounds total. I'm also a good 2-3 weeks ahead of the goals needed to hit 250 before my Hawaii trip.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
