Lorri716 this was happening to me in the month of January and February, I would lose 2 pounds then gain them back. It could be very frustrating, however just keep doing what has worked for you and you will start seeing the weight to go down. Like I mention before, I feel like the 180's was the hardest to lose.

I'm just checking in a giving my 1 week follow up after I started A Pound of Cure. It has been going very well, I started at 184 lbs this past Monday and today I weigh 177.2 lbs! I been following the rules exactly how it is on the book. Eating at least 1 lb of vegetables, 2 oz raw nuts, 6-8 oz of meat or eggs, 1/2 cups of legumes and best part unlimited fruit and I mean unlimited. What had been the hardest while doing this: 1. My coffee with fairly easy milk and Splenda. I missed it really bad for the 1st three days. I could have coffee with almond milk, but I don't like it when is not sweet so I haven't had any. 2. My Greek yogurt with crystal light, unable to eat it cause the dairy and artificial sweeteners. 3. Finding time to drink Water in between. I feel like I'm constantly eating. And the great part about it: 1. Unlimited fruit!!! All of it doesn't matter which one 2. It feels really good to know that I'm eating very healthy nothing processed. Well that's about it going on my second week and I will give you guys a follow up after the 2nd week.

Lorri716 hope you get to 179lbs just thinking of the 179 makes me excited!! I been sticking to the plan and feel so good. This morning my weight was 180 lbs!!!

That is awesome! Keep it up you should be very proud of yourself.

Today I start with the a pound of cure. I got everything prepared this morning and I don't think I have ever ate as clean as this prep food. I checked my protein to see how much I will consume during the day and per my fitness pal is 64oz of protein and 1054 calories. This morning I weighed myself and I was 184lbs, so here it goes no dairy, no grains, no processed food and no artificial sweeteners.

Does anybody have a good tea suggestion? Lately I notice that I been drinking a lot of coffee. I started with 1 cup a day and I'm up to 4 cups a day which I know is too many! I been using fair life fat free milk instead of the creamer but I don't like that I been using way too many Splenda packets to sweetened my coffee. I'm open to hear everyone's suggestions, I'm not a picky person.

All this week I been reading the book called A pound of cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner and is very interesting all of the points of view he gives about how we gain weight. I also checked out some of his you tube videos. I am contemplating eating the way he explained on the book. Like I mention in the past I been stuck in the 180's and sometimes I feel like my body is getting used to the way I been eating for the past 6 months. I eat about 90-95% of the times good. Still no simple carbs and very limited fruit. Maybe if I changed the eating my body will be shocked and I start losing again. The book focus on eating per day 1lb of vegetables, unlimited fruit, raw nuts ( I think it mention 2oz) and only 1-2 tablespoon of fat (olive oil), 6-8 oz. of meat protein and 3-4 oz of vegetable protein (or all protein could be from vegetable protein example: any type of beans). No dairy, no grains, no artificial sweeteners, and no processed foods (no protein shakes). The only thing I see that will really change the way I been eating is the dairy and artificial sweetener cause I drink fairlife milk with my coffee and I also use splenda, crystal light, and greek yogurt. I do really good on vegetables and I love fruits ( I really missed them). I really think I will do this for 2 weeks and see what difference I see in my weight loss. Actually, I am sure I will do the changes, I will start this coming Monday and I will post updates for the next two weeks.

Had a good laugh????????

I been cleaning my closet monthly, in the past I always saved it and that's how I ended up getting in trouble again cause I would gain some weight and I would get the big clothes out. I'm hoping this time as soon as I see some change on how my clothes fit that I will take control of any weight gain.

This is awesome @@rln52! Keep it up. I really do think that this 1st year is the most important one, that's when we should learn new eating habits and see what works best for us.

@@rln52 happy to hear from you. You are doing great! I'm about 182 right know. I feel like the 180's have been the hardest pounds to lose. For me the nuts are still my weakness.

This is absolutely stunning! Glad you are having fun!

Thank you all for the great tips! I will be heading tomorrow to sprouts and the food market place and I will be looking for the brands you guys mention.

@@lorri716 it sounds so much fun! Enjoy your time with your friend. Just try to stick with protein first. I notice when I don't eat the protein at the times I should I start looking for something to eat and sometimes is not the best option. Take lots of pictures!!

. I called my surgery nurse and she placed a prescription to Walmart it was one pill and it solved all the issues. Call your surgeons office and speak with the nurse.

I was able to do my full consultations by submitting photos and email/phone calls. She was very specific about the photos, having me take specific angles and positions, which my husband helped me with. If you have all that work done at once, I think she would really advise you stay the full two weeks (I was VERY glad I did). Travel too soon post-op would be hard and you'd have to make sure you had someone in the states to pull your drains for you if you left any sooner than that. Being in the recovery house for the two full weeks was a huge blessing to me. I didn't have to worry about anything other than recovery, I had all the resources and care I needed, and my surgeon came to check on me every single day. My surgeon was Dra. Laura Carmina Cardenas and I stayed at the Beauty Care Recovery House. @@JamieLogical I'm so happy I saw this. I'm still very far from plastic surgery, but I had been thinking to ask you which Doctor you had used for plastics. Results are amazing, for sure I will save this info for the near future.

I been ok too, weighing at 182 lbs.. I saw some family members I haven't seen since before my surgery and they were very impressed with my weight loss ????

Hi there, how has your progress been?

Outstanding! You look great!

Wow it's been 6 months since I had my surgery!! Time goes by so fast. I don't regret it one bit. Total loss since pre-op has been 70 lbs and more to lose!! I'm very happy with the results. Today my weight was 183 lbs.

I personally don't have any experience with dreadlocks. I did had bad hair loss it started at 3 months and it lasted until I was 5 1/2 months, now it's much better. I did notice the hair loss was more when I took a shower or when I brushed my hair.

Fantastic! I haven't checked my BMI. I need to do that and see where I am. Keep plugging along![/quote You should try it @@lorri716, it made me feel really good, starting with a 40 BMI and now been in the upper 20's just made me see the huge improvement I've had throughout this journey.

Today I'm 184 and based on the BMI calculator I'm no longer Obese now is Overweight at 29.7 BMI, this is a big accomplishment! haven't seen this number for over a decade This last three months have been slow weight loss (11 pound loss in those 3 months), but I'm happy I could tell my clothes feels much better. Plus I know its not a race I know I will get to my goal weight, I just have to stay focus.

How you been @@cindi gant? Tell us about your progress what is working for you?

I feel much better today. l started my day with a delicious breakfast albacore tuna with eggs, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes a peppers and 4 tablespoons of lentils. It was very filling ones able to eat about 2/3 cup.
