Yay Tovasha!!

i hattttttte exercising and never in a million years would have done a sit up if not for this challenge. So thanks LaLa!

Sets. I did 25 wanted to cry. Laid there for about a minute and then did 25 more. I only rested a few seconds in between the last three. Cuz I thought if i stopped i wouldn’t do another one!!

LaLaDee I did 100 sit ups this morning and thought I was gonna die!!

but I i didn’t

LaLaDee - I’ll do 100 sit ups a day with you!

Taylor, I am in a similar position. We will lose more! There’s no way we won’t !! Id love to hear others stories too (just to be sure! Lol)

I started at 330 and am now 270. I feel like I’m Losing slow. And while I’m not complaining it is frustrating to see everyone lose quicker. And even more frustrating to hear we all lose differently. Grrrr , we know that and hate it

I am soooo grateful for my loss so far though. I’ve never been able to lose this much and keep it off. Soooo even though I only lost 4 in November and 3 in December - I’m grateful for it.

Happy new year to everyone!!

Seems totally reasonable!!

Gooooood luck!!!!

Has anyone tried drinking alcohol yet ??

I have a special event this weekend where everyone will be drinking. But I’m kinda scared. I heard you can get reallyyyyyy drunk after a sip??? Is this true!!?!!

Oh yeah bars are good!! High Protein. I buy them on Amazon. The birthday cake flavor is delicious!! And has sprinkles on them - yum

ME TOO!!! 49 Lost and same size I’m tops. I did lose one pant size.

I’m sorry you’ve had a rough few weeks. I hope everything smooths out for you!!!!

I was swimming for exercise but since the weather‘s cooled off I haven’t done that in about two weeks. I guess I need to find a new form of exercise that I enjoy.

I pretty much eat whatever I want- except sweets. I do have carbs, which I know a lot of you don’t. But I enjoy piece of toast in the morning. And if I want something with carbs for dinner I’ll have it. I’m full after about 4-5 bites. So my struggle is if I do eat the carbs then I don’t get the protein- then I can’t b***h if I don’t lose any weight. So every day for the past two weeks I’ve tried to have at least one Protein Shake. And that seems to help.

The weight has come off slower than I thought but I can’t complain. I haven’t been under 300 in about 15 years. So it feel pretty good :-)

I do that with almost every meal, almost every day. My husband will always say that's too much food you're going to feel sick and I always get pissed at him for saying so. But he's always right. I guess it's just gonna take time for us to get used to it. It's a weird concept for just a few bites makes is full.

I read to fill ice cubes trays with your meals. And freeze them and just defrost one cube a meal. That sounds insane to me and I've never done it but it might work for some.

I was sleeved aug 16 and only down about 42. And I started a lot more than you. Soooo I know it's frustrating !! And we want to lose quicker. Butttttt we aren't. Lol.

Soooo, I'm trying to just deal with it and be happy for the wins.

Good luck

I was sleep on August 16 and I've had a few salads in the last couple weeks. I've never had an issue.

I had a few bites of Pasta last week and I didn't have an issue. I was kind of hoping I would because i know pasta is something you shouldn't eat. But I only allowed myself two bites :-) and it was Delish!!!!!!

Sleeved August 16. Down about 36 pounds.

I stalled for almost four weeks. I wanted to cry and I was really pissed. But it finally broke.

Sooooo, is anyone else going through this? It seems like every third day I am exhausted-like don't want to get out of bed can't move exhausted. And like every three or four days I'm starving. Eating like every two or three hours. And then every other day I feel good, not hungry too often, and have energy. Sooooo weird!!

Oh I think I replied to the wrong person. But I hope everybody's doing well :-)

I was sleeved on 8/23. It has been a whole month and I have only lost 25 pounds. I'm a big girl I should have lost more. I'm not eating nearly what I was eating before but staying under 900 calories a day. What is wrong with me? Why am I not losing? I feel like this was all a mistake and I'm going to just stay fat forever. The scale hasn't moved in about 2 weeks and my heart is broken.

I was sleeved on 8/16 so we are a day apart.

This week I've lost 5. After stalling for so long. Yayayay!!! Hope it's going well for you!!

Yay!! Congrats. I am too! My stall is over ( I just don't want to stall again anytime soon)

I weighed 290 this AM. Less than I have in like twenty years. Feels exciting but also scary cuz it's always come back. I'm trying to tell myself this time it won't come back! But that's a hard thing to convince yourself of.

My doc said absolutely no gum. I use the breath strips, they're a tiny package that can fit in my pocket.

Why no gum????? I read that but it makes no sense to me!!

It's so frustrating. I feel ya. I was self pay and was beginning to think I wasted 22grand. Buttttt, if I relax I realize I've lost 32 pounds since August 10. Although I have only lost two in the last four weeks I'm trying to see bigger picture here.

Its hard but hang in there!!! I guess some lose quicker than others. But it has to work!! Right?? I think it eventfully has to

I think it's the high-protein diet. I remember having the same taste in my mouth when I used to do a low-carb diet. It's disgusting! I chew gum, even though it says not to :-)

yay. Good job.

I still haven't lost anymore. Frankly, I'm possed!!

It might be gas pains. I had a terrible pain in my shoulder and neck as well and didn't know what it was. And then my mom told me that right after my surgery they told her I might have those pains and it was due to gas buildup. Nobody told me so I was freaking out but luckily they told my mom. Hope that helps

I stalled 11 days for weeks 3 and 4. Then finally lost .2 pounds. Then another .2 pounds. Kind of pissed off!!

I went out and had gauc and black Beans. It was amazing!! Would be pretty easy to make at home.

I think your idea of ricotta and sauce sounds delicious!

I've had a lot of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ( I put hot sauce on mine), sometimes a just have a little bit of peanutbutter.

Booooo! I quickly found out that's not how it works. Lol

Yes, perhaps someday
