Puddles

Hello! All's good here, I seem to be loosing much slower now though! I had surgery March 8, was 242 day of surgery, and since I didn't have a preop diet I hadn't lost a lot of weight before... I am currently 161. I've lost 81 lbs in almost 7 months! The last 2 months I've averaged about 6 lb. a month and this month I lost 6 inches, last month only 1.... I'm 5'2 and am wearing a size 9 or 8 jeans and a med/large shirt, also I'm wearing a size medium underwear which seems so strange to me!!
I'm also going through some of the head games where I feel out of place shopping in the smaller section, but I had a cool thing happen the other day, I was looking for a blazer at a thrift store for an interview and I was trying them on in the isle (which I would have never done before, for fear of it not fitting) and some of them the buttons wouldn't close over my boob area and I was just like ugh almost!A plus size women overheard me and commented "I know what you mean". Lol So a few minutes later she comes up to me with a coat and says this is a great one, I'm not sure what size you wear though...so I thanked her and I looked at the jacket and it was a 8/10 which was the size I was trying on and needing! I just thought it was cool because it showed me how I think of myself really isn't how others see me....
Anyways sorry to blab on lol

Approaching the 60 pounds down mark. Weight loss is certainly going much slower, but my measurements are shrinking much faster. Just bought a bunch of size medium tops for the first time in forever, along with size 12 pants.
I went on vacation earlier this month, which involved quite a bit of walking around. In the past, I never would have managed to do that much activity without my knees, feet and back absolutely killing me. Stairs and hills were a source of panic for me. It's amazing how much more mobile and energetic I've become. I finally feel like the 30-something I've always wanted to be. Life is good.
I also still get constipated once in awhile, but it's been a lot better than it was in the beginning. I also take a probiotic, and on rare occasion, need to use a stool softener if things are less regular.

100Lbs down, just hit the 200s which is a huge milestone for me. I probably haven't weight less than 300 since middle school.

42 down, 48 to go - almost to my halfway mark.

How much have you lost? Congrats! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

that is awesome!!!
Waiting to crack 190. I have been close but having a small stall. Got a new puppy (8 months old)and she is getting me out and walking every day - hoping that helps counteract the 3 grad school classes I am taking. I feel tied to a book or the computer. I know the exercise sure does help settle her down so I can do school work. Waiting to see if it helps me crack this mini-stall. I am 4 lbs from my halfway point.... Yay!!

same here! Its annoying but its part of the process i guess. Its frustrating at times but i just keep hopeful the scale will move eventually! =/

I've noticed that I seem to have a regular stall every fourth week I don't loose anything for about 5-7 days.

that is awesome!!!

I have heard some people do and some people don't. I have also heard some depends on good Protein intake as well. I feel as though my hair is thinner, but no one around me has noticed. Try to maintain a good Protein intake as well as taking Biotin and mulit vits

So far my hair is as thick as ever and still needed thinning out when I got my hair chopped off.
My info is above, but my he was 320 and I'm down to 215 since March 15th.
The first picture is a comparison and the second is just one from a few days ago. Excuse the no makeup it's too hot outside! Haha

Sounds like you are doing great! Congrats on the NSVs!
I've had a few NSVs myself. I had been stalled for the past three weeks, but finally broke through earlier this week. I not only hit a total of 50 pounds down, but I'm now at my lowest weight since 2003!! It's feels great!

How is everyone doing? Just had my 4th monthly follow up with the programs APRN. We set a goal for me to be below 300lbs by my six month follow up with the surgeon.
I'm super thrilled with my progress so far. Lots of little NSVs lately, fitting in chairs/cars way easier now, my thighs are starting to look noticeably smaller when sitting down. I had to add notches to my belts the other day.

March 1st sleever here! HW 373 SW 350 CW 280. Would like to be 250lbs or under by September 20, 2016!

Haha, yes I think that might work better than the gym!!!

Sleeved march 28th.. down 80 lbs! HW 291 SW 289 CW 210.. I'm currently in a little stall but I don't think it's anything too worrisome. I have been eating more lately, 5x per day instead of 3, which is what I was doing. I'm more hungry but making good food choices. How's everyone else?
