I was only losing strands here and there at about 3 months out, and now, 6 months out, I'm losing it like crazy. However, upping my protein has helped. I don't think I was getting enough.

And My next goal is not gonna be any joke! haha.

So, It's been forever since I checked in- because I've been pretty sad. I started the challenge at 194, bounced down to 189, then back up to 191 and hit a 5 week stall (at 5 months post op, which I hear is normal?) . I tried everything to shake up my routine and NOTHING helped. The scale JUST moved back down to 189 again. Anyway, needless to say I am not going to make my goal of 179, however, I am hoping for 187-185 for my halloween goal. Hopefully no more stalls between now and christmas cause I have some major catching up to do! LOL

So, my weight loss is SO slow lately... I was at 194 at the start of this, then I went down to 189, now I bounced to 191, but I'm sure it'll go back in a couple days.. I don't think I'll make my Halloween goal but I think I'll be at least 185.. I'd be okay with that. Slowly but surely the weight is coming off. I HAVE however, bumped up the workouts so we'll see. Its still the very beginning of october. SW- 194 CW 191 GW 179 lbs to goal 12.

Just checking in. It's been a week and a half since I joined... SW 194 CW 190 GW 179 lbs to goal - 11 I lost 2 lbs at my weekly weigh-in (wednesday) and 2 since, hopefully those two extra2 stay off and dont teeter totter! It always makes me nervous.

Hmmm, yeah. I dunno. I should have asked my surgeon and now I don't see him again till Jan. Hopefully by then I'll be very close, if not there.

SW- 272 beginning of challenge- 206 CW- 193 Goal-185 lbs to goal- 8 So, I missed my goal by 8 lbs.. I wasnt expecting the LONG stall that I hit.. :/ That's okay though. I'm just bummed I only lost 13 lbs in 2 months! Ug, stinkin stalls.

Yeah same here, I keep bouncing up and down. Like, tuesday I was 193, today I'm 195, and I'm sure that'll go away and I'll be back down to 193 again.. Hmph. My weight loss has definitely slowed down the past 2 months... I think my honeymoon stage is almost over..

I didn't meet my labor day goal, by 9 lbs (I wasn't expecting the huge stall that I got!) but i'm going to go ahead and post what my goal is this time. SW 194 CW 194 GW 179 Lbs to goal -15 I think I can do that one...

According to that chart my projected weight loss for a year is 120-106 lbs.. Hmm. Not bad..

Wow, thanks guys. Both answers were very helpful!

So, I'm trying to decide what my ultimate goal should be- I can't seem to come to any conclusion. On my ticker it says 130, but honestly I think I'd be ok with 150, maybe even 170. I've never even been as small as I am right now. I'm 5'3 and 19 years old- any ideas for a goal? I had surgery april 6th, and have recently had a slowing weight loss- averaging 1.5 lbs a week, opposed to the 2.5 it was.. What I've just been doing is setting small goals and figuring out how I feel when I get to them. For example, my next small goal is 180- 14 lbs away. But I don't see myself being satisfied there. Hmmm. What did your surgeon give you for your goal weight?

Okay, so, I've had quite a few stalls since this one started.. but here's my stats SW- 272 beginning of challenge- 206 CW- 194 Goal-185 lbs to goal- 9. So, I'm not gonna lose 9 lbs in the next week and a half but, I've still lost 12 lbs in less than 2 months.. which is lower than my average 10 lbs a month, but thats okay.

SW- 272 cw- 197 gw- 185 lbs to goal- 12 Hmm, I average at 10 lbs a month, so I might get REALLY close. we will have to see.

Well, I'm kind of bummed because on the 6th when i first posted i was 206, and 2 weeks later (today) im 204. I don't know if I"m gonna make it to my goal of 185! I still have 19 lbs till that goal and only 7 weeks- hopefully I"ll at least get into the 180's. I've hit a tad bit of a stall, but with any luck i'll get to 185.. hmmm!
