Hello, fellow midnight workers. 3rd shift will mess up your sleep cycle. I take Zyrtek for allergies and that seems to knock me out. I tried Melatonin, but it gave me nightmares, weird. I use to take 1/2 Ambien and that worked like a charm. I was worried about becoming addicted to it, or worse, becoming a victim of sleep eating or driving. Good luck, hope you get some rest.

Pictures don't lie, your looking great!

Amazing!

Your looking great!

Congrats! It just gets easier.

Imitation crab, on crackers, salad, or dipped in cocktail sauce...Yummy!

Good luck....Can't wait to see you on the loser's bench!

Your never too old to get healthy. Good for you! I'm 51, and wish I had done it sooner. Keep us updated.

Don't worry about it, you Got this!!

I've had two stalls so far. On both, I increased my calories and fat intake, and started losing again.Weird, I know. Maybe our bodies just need a shake up sometimes, and that's what you gave it!

Sorry you had such a rough start. Congrats on the size 6!!!

Wow! Great results!

Take a deep breath, relax, quick prayer...See you soon on the loser's bench!

Cute!!! You can wear that out now.

Tee Hee Hee!

Everyone's different. Men seem to lose faster than women, high BMI seems to lose faster than low BMI. I feel like I should be doing better myself. But, 30 lbs is great! Your going in the right direction..And remember, slower weight loss makes for less saggy skin!

Yahh for you....Prayers and hugs!

Sounds like your metabolism needs a jumpstart! I'm 15 weeks and i've been through two stalls. I had read somewhere, that taking in too few calories could hinder weight loss..I tried adding adding calories and fat to my diet, and lost three pounds..Same thing after the second stall. I'm not saying it will work for you, but it's worked for me. Good luck!

It varies for me. 4-6 times a week on the treadmill/crosstrainer for 40-50 minutes. Strength training twice a week with low weights. I would love to join a gym with a pool, but there isnt one close. May start a Zumba class, just to shake things up.

Wow! I had no clue that VSG could be done as an outpatient.

Please forgive me...It's Yom Kippur

RickyDee, I am sorry, and sadden to hear that you were abused spiritually. I am reading a book of selections by Max Lucado and he talks about Gods love. " God's love does not hinge on yours. The abundance of your love does not increase his. The lack of your love does not diminish his. Your goodness does not enhance his love, nor does your weakness dilute it. God loves you simply because he has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don't feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you. Always.No matter what. Many blessing on Yom Kipper, day of Atonement!

Great Word....

Sorry, I didn't go alone to Cancun. But rest assured, your in good hands there. I used Dr. Verboonen and Dr. Perez, they were terrific! Sheri and her husband were very sweet and helpful as well. Try to relax, pray and know that your in the best hands of all "God's," Lifting you in prayer now!

Fourteen weeks out. Salads, with chicken and cheese are working well for my sleeve! Yummy...
