I have my first 5K this morning. It's only 3.1 miles & I'm walking it but I never thought I would actually be doing this!

That happens to me. I weigh myself when I wake up then again maybe 20 mins later I have lost 1-2 pounds. It's crazy. I'm glad the scale was a little better for you :-)

Yesterday I did water aerobics and today is my day off......YA! I have my first 5K tomorrow so I get to rest today.

I would check with your doc first. I was cleared for the gym at 2 weeks post op but it was too soon. I think I started after a month post op. I still walked outside near my house & at lunch. I wouldn't push it just yet but everyone is different. Check with your doc but I'm sure going to the gym is ok.

You know it would be interesting to see how much everyone in May has lost in total :-)

That's awesome. I'm 3 months out as well & 79pds down (35 before surgery). Tomorrow is my 3 month doc apt so I wonder what that scale will say.

I did 4 miles on the elliptical. Getting ready for my first 5K this weekend.

Don't get frustrated. Stalls like this happen. One of mine lasted 3 weeks then I found my groove. I started drinking more protein & increased my vitamins. Start tracking your food intake & how much your working out. You might have to increase your food. You will get past this

You are doing awesome. Congrats

Here's an interesting tidbit......Monday I did the elliptical for 45 minutes & went 2.86 miles. Then yesterday I did the elliptical for the same amount of time & the same resistance but went 3.25 miles. I have no idea how that happened but I'll take it. Today is TRX day.......I'm so gonna hurt tonight.

Elliptical for 45 minutes & weights. I really do feel accomplished after these workouts.

You are so right. I noticed when I was drinking soda that I wouldn't drink water & it would trigger other cravings. I'm just calling last week my bad judgement week. I am back on track & don't want soda again!

Today I took a 2.5 mile hike near the lake. It was beautiful & I feel great

Highest Weight: 425 Surgery Weight: 395 Surgery Date: 05/07/2013 Last Weeks Weight: 351 Today's Weight: 349 Total Loss: 76 pounds I feel I should be losing more each week! I don't know but I have my 3 month check-up on the 21at so the doc should let me know how I'm doing.

You look great This past weekend I had to give in and buy a new pair of jeans. I am usually a 28W but now I am a 24 regular and even these ones are a little loose. Isn't it great when something like this just makes your day, heck it has made my year

OMG....I just hit the 75 pounds lost mark. This feels amazing Also, I hit a weight, 350, that I haven't seen in 13 years. I was this weight back in 2000 and I can't believe it's been that long. I never went below this weight since but I so am now!!!!!! Wow the emotions that are flowing are unexpected but feel great. I hope everyone else is doing good

I agree. I think the docs want us to succeed so they do tell us this. Now some have issues with stuff like this & even sugar but I don't. I have been drinking soda more than I would like & I have got to stop. I think some here & there is ok but it's the person's decision. Glad you posted this because I have been having issues with the soda thing.
