Everyone experiences that and then you look back and think wow... why was I so fearful. It is very natural. You will do wonderful. Congrats.!

You are a wealth of info

Yepp! I stalled in week two and then gained up to 4 lbs. I was so discouraged. I am now a little past 3 weeks and went down the 4 lbs and am waiting to move the scale somewhere I had not seen yet. We have to just hang in there. It will work just keep doing what your suppose to. I know if I am not eating right, then I decided I will worry , other than that it is just the waiting game.

So sorry to hear that! Keep your mind in it. It will happen, I did not have insurance and it looked bleak , if it is meant to be it will. Look at the appeals letter, like the previous poster said and get going on it. I will pray , let us know!!! For some reason it just was not suppose to be right then but do not get discouraged, you will see in the future looking back how it is in the best timing. Keep believing!!!!!!

Gotta love it! All NSV's count.

Really good ideas.

That is awesome! Very inspirational.

I was 3 weeks out on last Sat. Since around week 2 I stalled for ten days and even gained 4 lbs. Thinks just started to shift. I also know someone that has admitted to cheating more than a little,not even sugar free and still would say how she lost a lot. I been doing everything I feel by the book and that same thing happened to me. A couple of people gave me great ideas. One.. make a graph of your weight. I use caloriecount.com just for the weight graph only , that will show you in time where your stalls are. It's like it will start to show you a pattern, a trend, your body has. The other thing...someone else said imagine hilly slopes up and down.... Up you go, up a mountian and then you get to the top and slide.weeeeeeeeeeeee downn the other side. Some hills are high some are low. Well, your neighbor is on a different mountian, my friend now is stalling, I started to move. She is walking 3 miles a day, I am barely getting in 1. I know it is frustrating but you are comparing apples and oranges, really!! I just wrote my rant last week on the dreaded stall, don't fall into it. Slow and steady you are more apt to have a healthier loss and maybe not so loose skin. who knows. Just keep your eye on YOUR prize. Just keep doing what your doing and before you know it you will be looking back saying wow. look how far I have come.

You are a very beautiful woman!

Hi, Sorry you are having such a hard time. It is hard to say b/c you do not say how long you have been sleeved or any other circumstances. Also, If you do not mind me saying maybe choose a larger font size, very hard to see.

That is the best NSV I have heard in a long time. I am so happy for you.

I do not know if where you live has this but here in Florida we have a gym named FIT FOR 10. It costs $10. a month. It is awesome.

I like ya too, a whole bunch!!!! thank you.

Hi, If it is not to late to join.... This will be my first challenge. My ticker does not reflect my current weight for I wanted to update it monthly. I am on bored to lose 20lbs. I am a little nervous for my mind can not even comprehend being under 200 it has been many many years. I can not even imagine. 02/24 CW 202 lbs.GOAL WEIGHT BY EASTER 182 lbs.

Whooooooo hooooooooooooooo!!! Good for you!!!!

I respect your thoughts, I am sure you had no intention on offending anyone. I myself chose not to share it with anyone except for my husband and my sister in NY (last minute). The only reason I told her is we suffered devasting loses with our family in recent years and if something happened to me and she was not aware, I did not want to leave her in the pain we suffer in daily with other family members. People where I work are cruel, doggy dog, mean spirited caddy women. No need to share my personal life with them. My children would only worry and try to talk me out of it. I was not looking for approva;. I know what I needed to do. I also most importantly did not want to burden them with having to keep a secret b/c I wanted them to. I wanted to focus on getting prepared not the "oh no mom.. what if?" One major thing why I did not tell my girlfriends closest to me or a sister here, that lives close. They are judgemental. My sister always compares her large self to others and if they lose she says oh look at all their loose skin? Really? My so called friends I have heard speak of this lady that has had by pass say how she is wacked for cutting out what God gave her and so forth. I did not want to deal with any adversity. The only situation I can change is me and that is all I really was concerned with. I am not ashamed . I am elated, excited and have hope for the first time in many many years.

Thank you sooooooo much. I recieve that! I beleive that might just been intended for me. That is my all time favorite passage in the Bible. I do trust in Him! Have a blessed day!!!!

I was taking that one but it was the metoblolic one and come to find out it had caffiene in it. I am not sure about that one though. I switched to two Flinestones a day for a few more weeks. (3wks out tomorrow).

Congrats! You look wonderful.

How amazing and inspirational! Thank you.

Lisa you give great advice!!

Look for Little Miss Diva, she has the 5 day boot camp post that helps you get back on track.

I right in the same boat, not quite out 3 weeks, started stalling and then gaining 10 days out. Have no reason to gain.

I was thinking the same thing, I could not imagine eating that. I wish I could ... I am told to stay on full liquids for a while longer. I am 3 weeks out on this Sat.

Hi, I can not believe I am writing about this. I knew those stalls come. I prepared myself for them. I promised myself I would not get discouraged but I just do not know what to think? I stalled ten days out , on V day. I was down from 228 and dropped as low as 202. I was so excited and could not believe it. I have not been able to get in ALL my fliuds, between 50-60 oz. a day and protien is around 40 but I am striving everyday to hang in there. Since Valentine's I have gained up and down with 4 lbs. I woke up at 206.4. I was so bummed. I have been walking, sugerfree, full liquids and feel I was doing pretty well. I was concerned that I was not having a BM, so I thought that was the reason, well that is not an issue any longer. I am sure it is normal and yes the stupid scale is in the back of the closet some where not but I just wondering (here I go.....) is this normal? I need some incouragement. thanks.
