I'm Worh The Pain



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone my name is April I've got my band on 6/5/12 and so for I've lost 100 pounds :-)

I walk 4 miles a day and workout with a personal trainer. It's hard and I have to watch what I eat but I'm happy I made this life change. Somedays I don't feel like I'm doing a enough but thank God my hubby cheers me on. Right now I'm stuck and have not lost anything in the last two weeks but I can not give up and I will not give up

Congratulations April!!!

Yes, from what I hear at times after losing a lot of weight you will plateau! Now what you have to do is start playing around with your calories and fat grams. You can try 'uping' your calories one day, going back to your normal caloric intake and then try it again over to see if that works. How many fat grams are you getting in per day? Remember the body needs healthy fat to burn!

I try and get between 25-30 grams of healthy fat per day (according to my age and weight). Also, remember Protein is always first and important to burn fat as well. Have you tried tracking everything you eat daily?? if not you should do so, there are several wonderful apps out there such as "myfitnesspal" and 'Loseit (my personal fav). Its really the only way you will know how much you are eating on a daily basis so that you can adjust and tweak to make it work.

Best of luck,

WOW!!!! Congratulations! !!

I've heard others talk about upping the calories for a day, back to normal & lower than normal for a day, then back to regular calories again. They say it jump starts that plateau.

Good luck, I know you'll continue to do well!

April, wow you look incredible! Congratulations on your success so far. Iris so frustrating when the scale doesn't move. Have you taken your measurements? I take mine once a month and i have found that when the scale doesn't move the inches do. Keep doing what you are doing, you will get there.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
