Surgery oct 25 2012 Starting weight 243 Now 188 Goal 168

Hi guys I had sx Oct 25 2012...and quickly dropped down to 185-188...However, i been stuck at this weighy since feb!! I work out..eat within my range..sometimes 140 g of protein a day!! When I went to my follow up appointment I told them about my frustrations because according to the BMI chart I should weigh around 140...I am 5'6. Well they did a Body Scan Analysis on some fancy machine that breaks up ur body composition....welll come to find out my body weight mostly consist of dense muscle mass...and that I am retaining water because hardly drink water or fluids...over 5 lbs!!! And it determined I omly have 18 lbs to go!! That seems so much more doable than 48!!! Well I started insanity and Shakeology so hopefully gettij g this weig ht off in a few weeks....the moral of the story.... COMMUNICATE with your Surgeon!! They know what's best for u and ur situation

Sure..I love it its the polar fit watch/heart rate monitor....it comes with a strap and a hr monitor that u strap on before u work on..when ur about to start ur work out u press the start button it keeps track of ur heart rate and calories burned while woeking out....its very precise..more accurate than the machines at the gym...

Sure I got the Polar brand F4 I think it was like 90 dollars they have different ones at different prices... I got mine from sports authority

I am 5'6 and thank u all.... Its been hard but I am going in the right direction... Def tracking my food and cardio have worked best for me.. I purchased the polar heart rate monitor which gave me a better picture of how many calories I burn working out.... Average 700-1000 iin an hour and a half.. Def get ur protein in... I try to get at least 100 gm in which sometimes is super hard..... Have faith I know we can all achieve our goals
