I agree with Tiff......you're only at 3.5 months. That's really nothing in the big scheme of things. Everybody goes through a stall; it'll change. Sounds like you're holding onto fluids which should change soon. Watch your carbs and sodium intake.

Starting Weight: 271

Last Week's: 215

This Morning: 212

Woodehooohoo! 208 baby! Comfortably sitting here in size 36's too! Unfortunately they are part of my uniform so I can't compare to an equal woman's size but I was STUFFED into my 40's just 2 months ago! LOVIN my sleeve!

Well, that includes 11 1/2 before surgery too, so it's really 30 since surgery. Which is great, I know... I've just been feeling down and draggy and mopey and whiney the last few days lol...I'll snap out of it! :laugh0:

I know what you mean, when it doesn't happen as fast as we think it should, we get depressed. My weight is coming off slllloooowwwww now, so I totally know how you feel. You're still in the honeymoon phase of the procedure, so expect that you will keep losing pretty good until about 6 mos. out when things slow down; that and the fact that the more you need to lose, the faster it comes off. My BMI is down to 24.1 or normal weight mode, that's why it's so slow for me. You will definitely get there so don't be dejected about it.

Stacy congrats! You are doing wonderful. I understand how you feel, I've been going through the same feelings of whiny-ness lol but one thing I remind myself is that I weight train a lot and am building a lot of muscle so that helps me not be too disappointed.

SW: 240

CW:198

I am only 5 weeks out and have lost 38 pounds but haven't seen the scale move all week. Is that unusual this early on?

mamab3-

38 pounds in 5 weeks is AWESOME!!

Don't worry about the scale so much... ( hee heee- I'm a fine one to talk. I weigh 2-3 times a day! )

But seriously- Thats 7 pounds a week!!

Just keep uping your water intake. it really helps alot!

You're doing fantastic.... don't let it get you down or worried. It will happen!
