You're doing great!! I started at 409 and am down to 216. I'm so excited to be so close to 2 big goals - losing 200 total and getting under 200 for the first time in forever. I'm also training to run a half marathon in May, and I am happier than I could have imagined. Attached are photos from sometime last February or March, and ones from last week.

Wow, that is a drastic change!

I'm lucky enough I've never had what I would consider a stall. Or if I have had one week here or there that's a little low, it's always followed up by a good week the next one. I don't know why that is, when I see so many people struggle with it, but I like to think it's because I constantly change up what I do. Some weeks I wouldn't feel the elliptical, but I did a dance dvd. I do some strength training when I'm on top of it. Or some weeks I'm a slug. My metabolism probably needs those time periods too :). Every week I change my menu - if I've been having a lot of chicken, I'll try to throw in some ground beef, or pork or seafood. I hit my Protein and Water goals set by my surgeon every single day.

I try not to worry about slow loss. 1 pound is 1 pound. As long as I keep being honest with myself and try to burn more than I eat, it'll keep heading in the right direction, I figure. I expect it to get harder on the other side of 200.

Love this. I do this a lot too. While I do a lot of Water aerobics I definitely don't stick to the same routine and always "feel" like something different every day. So it makes sense that I also have never really experienced a "stall" to speak of. Mostly just slow weeks. I've had a week or two where I felt like I didn't lose "anything" but when I later would go back and actually look at the numbers, it wasn't a total stop in loss. I am just over 5 months out so I am sure there will be stalls and some speed bumps as I get closer to goal, but as of right now things keep dropping. I'm excited to see where I am at the end of a year. Would love to hear how you're doing now!!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
