Hi Everyone! It has been a while. I'm now about 88 lbs down, but have been stuck losing and gaining the same 5 pounds since January. A bit frustrated, but that's where I am with it.
This year has been incredible. My confidence has grown, as has my energy level. I still have about 50 lbs to go before I reach my ideal weight. I don't know if that's plausible at this point, but I'm hopeful.
In an effort to boost my loss, I've gone back to very low carb, high Protein and have increased my activity a HUGE amount. Hopefully it pays off.

U look amazing! 1 day at a time, thats what im doing!

Are you tracking your fat loss?
Are you following your diet plan?
Are you drinking upwards of 128oz of Water?
Do you know your BMR?
Are you eating less calories than your BMR?
Are you exercising?
Are you tracking your food at all?

Congrats on the weight loss, DO NOT lose sight of that!

I've had so many days where I've gained weight or didn't move at all, but lost fat %.

One week and I am down 16 pounds

Hi everyone! I kind of disappeared for a while due to family/work stuff. WE FINALLY MOVED! The new house is lovely and in a quiet neighborhood.
Everything else is good. I dislocated my finger last month, so I haven't been able to get back in the gym. Mostly just walking/yoga/aerobic tapes lately.
I noticed I did have a bit of the addiction transfer happening, but it isn't a negative addiction. Now, I've started chewing sugar free gum almost constantly to compensate for my food addiction being gone. I have about 5 different flavors of gum in my purse right now. 🤣

My stall was 3 weeks and I just checked and I finally lost another pound. Two more pounds and I’ll be under 250.

Hi woohoo Congrats! I’m 3 w and 1 day and 12 lb down since surgery. How is your progress?

I'm struggling with my Water too. It was easier when that's all I had to do, but now that I'm eating 5 times a day and can't drink before or after my meal, I'm finding it hard to fit it all in!

Hi everyone. After a tough recovery, I have returned to work this week. It's an adjustment. I'm REALLY tired by noon and having a hard time concentrating.
I've got a timer set to do a couple laps around the building every hour and a half. I haven't been doing great with my liquids. It's hard to get everything in, but Protein has been fine.
I'm hoping things improve.

I am so sorry that you went through this. When you go back for your blood work, bring 3 copies of your post with you. Stop in and tell the PA that you need a moment of her time and that her "friends" need to join you. Give them each a copy of your post and add a p.s. at the bottom to them know if you ever hear the slightest hint that this behavior has been repeated, you will report them to the surgeon, the office manager and maybe even post it on YELP. Remind them that patients DO talk. You don't have to say a word, then walk out with your head high. If the PA won't meet with you, go straight to the surgeon and office manager.
You've dealt with enough sh!t in your life. You don't need to deal with theirs, too.

I have a sedentary job as well and have been stumped when figuring out how to work in more activity. I park further away, as suggested and have taken the stairs, but I'm still sitting at a desk for 6+ hours.
I recently found a program I downloaded to my work computer called Big Stretch Reminder. I have it set to go off every hour, so I can do a quick walk around our office and then get back to work. I love it so far. It's nice to step away from my desk for a while.

I did on Saturday! There were a couple of very pretty Modcloth dresses that I came across. They're only a size or two smaller than I am now, so I'm being conservative.

Your stomach shrunk, same thing happened to me!

I literally had to go in the bathroom at work and tie a knot in my draws! If I hadn't I would have lost them and I had on a skirt.
Its nice to lose weight but geez! It never occured to me to buy some new panties
