good luck! and good decision, too!

That doesn't sound normal to me! You should call your doctor. Feel better!

Way to go Coops!

Is it too late to jump on the challenge wagon? I want to lose 12 pounds by Christmas! I am a very slow loser, but that will put me at 50 pounds lost and will require a lot of hard work over the next 7 weeks. I hope I can do it -- I am also going to try *jogging* 3x per week too. That will be a first for me! I have always been a WALKER. SW: 278 CW: 240 Christmas Challenge Goal Weight: 228

What a brave person you are! Congratulations on how far you have come!

Woohoo! Go girl! You look amazing!

woohoo!

Yes. I take a multi-Vitamin with Iron plus an extra D plus B12 plus a Calcium chew...

OK. So, I'm 3 months out, and I've been getting my Protein in, limiting carbs and cals (about 800 per day) and trying to walk 30 mins a day. I usually get about 7-8 hours of sleep... which has always been sufficient. But, all of a sudden, this past week, I feel totally exhausted. Yesterday, I just HAD to put my head down and I actually fell asleep at my desk. Luckily, I was awakened by a meeting reminder alert on my phone, but I am still in SHOCK that I could just fall asleep like that. Today, I feel like it could happen again, so I keep getting up to stretch or walk around to resist the urge to put my head down. What is wrong with me?!

I am truly moved! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! I am a slow loser, too. After 3 months, I am down 34 pounds, and with 100 left to go, it's easy to get frustrated and not to remember to count every pound lost as a victory... Today, I am victorious. Thanks for that!

Great job! You look amazing. WAY TO GO!

That is AWESOME and so inspirational.

That's amazing! How have you done it? What do you eat on a typical day? Do you exercise much? I'm 10 weeks in since surgery, and I am just not having that level of success. I know everyone is different and that I should not balk at the 30 pounds that I have lost so far (including pre-op loss), but getting to a near-100 pound loss just seems impossible to me.

I think you are tired because your protein and caloric intakes are so low! I would recommend getting more protein in. If you are eating yogurt in the AM, try blending it with flavorless protein powder and some skim plus or soy milk and make your own version of a protein shake. Or add a little cottage cheese to your sugar free jello.
