Ok... since the beginning of this I have just lost a pound... I just feel soooo bloody frustrated!! And I feel like a complete failure on here!

There is absolutely NOTHING I can do differently, I tried all the usual hints and tips but to no avail!

Sometimes I just feel like throwing the towel in... but I know that I CAN'T do that!

Sorry to bring the tone down guys.... any suggestions 'cos this is doing my head in today - I had been feeling better grrrrrr!!

My advise, just keep it moving!!! You ARE LOSING, even though it is slow. Your body has a hard time letting go and in my world that's called loyal. ;) Really though, coops if you throw in the towel I'm taking the first flight out to where you are and pick that towel up and hold it for you.

Now, perhaps next time set a more doable goal for yourself. I know I made mine higher than I should have and chances are I won't make it. But so what!?!? I'm still going down, and that is the REAL challenge here. To keep losing weight. Hugs my friend, you got this!!!!

This has been 1 crazy week! I only lost .2 pounds, but my measurements have changed. My waist went down 2 inches, and my hips an inch. I'm not complaining!

Hey Irene...

thank you! I did drop my goal weight this time after the might fail of the last challenge!

It is my year anniversary on the 4th July and my surgeon wanted me to be at his goal by then... that is more that my mini goal for this challenge.

I am just soooooo cheesed off today... I know tomorrow is a new day, and I won't feel this way then but when I checked in to see how I had done, well, it didn't help my mood!!

I really don't know what to do differently... never mind, at least I ain't gaining eh?! x

Well now, it sounds like you're doing mighty fine yourself!! Keep up the amazing progress!!

For me, I was stalled for nearly three weeks and believe me it took every ounce of positivity in my heart mind and soul to stay sane! I was really working hard and the scale showed nada... it was just... yuck... Anyway, I know how my body loses so that also kept me from going nutso. I will wax for a few weeks and wane for a few weeks. It's paying off right now! Next weigh day should still show a good loss - but after that I have to start all over with my will power and patience... LOL :)

wow it's been a hard couple of weeks -- hopefully my weight loss will pick up so I can lose the rest by July 4th!

Juliarh............187................174..............165...........9

It's interesting to see how far I've come -- I don't feel like I've been in the 180s for a while, but yet, I started out the challenge there -- so that's pretty good!

Hopefully, I'll reach my goal, but if not, that's ok, because it's not a race, it's a journey! :D

Well, I did not have a good May. I was traveling for 2 weeks and then at a Christian retreat ranch for another 10 days. I tried to make the best choices possible, but still hard under those circumstances. Not too horrible though. I hope to still make my 4th of July goal.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
