]!00 pounds down since starting the pre op liquid diet on Febuary 23rd of 2011, sleeved on March 1st 2011, 10,5 inches off my waist.... Still have at least 50 more to lose, but so far so good! There have been ups and downs during the past 4 months, a couple small food accidents, but I have been 100% on the work outs! I started CrossFit a couple weeks ago, all I can say is Holy Frigging CrossFit Batman! Crossfit is expensive, but oh so worth it! I leave there shaking each and every time I go, its insane!

Now for the bad part, I have finally hit that stall everyone talks about, and Its not making me very happy at all. My initial thought was to work out more, work out harder. I Cant really lower my calories, I'm only taking in between 600 and 1000 a day, so what else is there to do besides work out more, and harder. Well my CrossFit instructor told me tonight that I need to rest on my days off from cross fit, not go workout in the gym, He said sometimes more is less, and my body may be going through a shock of some kind. Long story short the Crossfit coach knows his stuff, he is always reading healthy eating books, and going to training seminars, I have no reason to not believe him, but it makes no sense to me. He did say If I Felt like I HAD to do something on off days to ride the Schwinn air-dyne exercise bike, but nothing else. Anyone who has been through this stall please chime in and let me know how you got past it?

Awesome job! You look like a new man!

Great job! You are doing awesome!

Wow man, what amazing results!!! Congrats and keep it up!!

WOW Congrats!

Congratualtions! You are looking great!

You look great, way to go!! I found in my early stalls, that usually I needed to eat a little more, not less and that would usually break the stall.

Incredible difference, congratulations to you! Agree with Kathy, you may need to add a few calories, I'm still pre-op but from what I have read that seems to work for a lot of people.

WoW! Why is it men can take off the weight so fast??? 100 pounds in under 5 months. JUST NOT FAIR!

Nope, not fair at all, but still awesome none the less LOL

Way to go! Looking good!

Congrats!

Wow you are really working it! Now, lets see a front shot

Way to go! Keep up the hard work!

You look like a completely different person. Congrats! Stalls suck . . . but it will eventually pass.

Thank you everyone for the kind replies! I finally broke through and lost one whole pound! LOL. Now that my weight loss has slowed so much I'm wondering if hitting my goal of being under 200 at my next follow up with my surgeon in August is even possible? I work out, I walk, I run, I eat right, I work out more, I walk more, I run more, and I get one stinking pound! Oh well, I'm just happy to have had the fast loss that I had for the first 4 months or so.
