Coincidence or is there something to this?



Recommended Posts

I'd hit a slow down period the last few weeks..not quite a stall but just the weight taking it's sweet time exiting the building. This week though I've been dropping a pound or so nearly every day again. It just so happens that every night this week my husband & I have had... well fun if you catch what I mean. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this...? Do yall think that's had anything to do with the constant dropping again? I've never been one to believe that burns mega calories and all of that people like to cling to. LOL If it's happening because of that, I'm all for it!!! Anyhow, I was just curious about other peoples experience with this.

BTW, I've hit 95 pounds and broken into the 2-teens. OK, so what's onederland? 100 pounds LOST or breaking 199? I've been wondering about that for awhile and since I'm pretty close to both, I figured I'd ask!

Average married sex really doesn't burn that many calories. :)

It might be more related to you feeling better about yourself, and your husbnad picking up on that.

"ONederland" is hitting 199.9 on the scale -- weighing in the ONE hundreds. There's also "Twoterville" and I'm forgetting the one people use for 300s.

I didn't make myself clear which is entirely possible as early as I posted that. I said I never was one to buy into sex = calories burned.Ever. What I was getting at was over the last few days my daily loss has been what it was at about 2 months ago. I was wondering if it was coincidence or if anyone else has had that happen. I've been on the scenic weight loss route and for the scale to talk to me like it has this week has been crazy and nothings different from last week...except constant sex. That's the only thing different. This is almost like reentering the honeymoon phase again.

I don't think the loss is related to me feeling better about myself lol. If that's all it took I'd be teensy by now. ;)

I have seen others post this as "secret weapon" to breaking a stall lol. Or losing consistently. Maybe I should try it more often lol!!

Lol @ wheetsin on the average married sex. So do the single people burn more calories? The married folks gotta up their game on the freakiness!!!

I hope I don't get banned from VST for talking bout sexercise!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
