Happy Saturday All Stars! I came in at 162.6lbs this morning for a 1.4lb loss this week. I have not excercised as much as I planned too. My own fault! :mad5: Trying to work thru the issues of getting enough to eat. I have a sleevezilla to say the least! One day I can eat such n such food the next day...no way! Backed off of the protein shakes for a few days cuz they were causing to many trips to the bathroom. Still trying to find what works but I am thrillled with the weight loss so far. :purplebananna: I really must of stretech out the 2 pairs of slacks I have "lived" in for the past two years. Cuz I thought I would of gone down a size but nope still the same. My old slacks were very baggy but I am not disappointed cuz I know I stretched them out past the point of no return and I am losing weight so I will just look forward to a smaller size pant when I really am at that size. Having the sleeve gives me so much more confidence than any thing else I have ever tried. So happy I made this decision. It has not always been easy or smooth but it certainly has been worth the effort! :biggrin:

It was a pretty good week for me, weighing in at 218 today, which means a 2.5 pound loss. I'm happy with that. Sometimes I just don't believe it's real, like somehow the weight is going to come back. I plan on walking my dog a couple of miles today at the park. Wish me luck! Hope everyone had a great week!!

245 today... I lost a pound that I had gained.... I have been having headaches since last saturday... had to call off of work today I never used to get them...

I didn't lose anything this week. I have been going up and down the same one pound. I didn't exercise as much (one day walking and one at the gym doing treadmill, rowing machine & weights) as I have in the past and had a day or two when I wasn't great with my eating - one was my daughter's birthday and we went out to Chilis. I had part of a sirloin and some garlic shrimp but I also had some chips & queso and cake (very small portions but I was definitely over my calorie goal for that day). I am happy with my total weight loss but frustrated with the slow pace in the last few weeks. I was 199.8 on October 29th and I am 197.2 as of today - super slow! Hopefully things will speed up soon. Hope everyone has a great week going forward!

Hey All-Stars!!! I am down 2 lbs again this week, weighing in at 222.5 yesterday (11/12). I am inching closer to onderland, and getting anxious! My biggest issue right now is SLOWING DOWN when I eat. I have a hard time remembering to eat slowly, then I get an awful pain in my upper chest. Otherwise, I feel great and can tolerate most anything except doughy breads. LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!

Have a great week friends!

I am weighing in at 209 now. I feel like my weight loss is SOOOO SLLOOOOWWW. I'm down 34 lbs overall, but just 24 lbs since surgery, which was 2.5 months ago. At my 2 month check-in my doc said he was perfectly happy with my weight loss, so I guess I should be too. I'm averaging 10 lbs/month.

On the bright side though, i went clothes shopping yesterday How much more fun is clothes shopping now!?!?! I love it! I hit the clearance racks at Walmart and came away with six t-shirts at $3/each. Some 1X, some 2X, but I used to be in men's 2XL/Women's 3XL. Since I live in AZ, t-shirts are a necessity year-round. Bought 2 new hoodies that were both in regular sizes - not plus sized! This was so exciting. The jeans I bought a few weeks ago are getting nice and loose, and those are 2 sizes down from where I started. Yep, clothes shopping is now fun

I am down to 199 this week. Onederland at last. It is going very slow. I didn't walk much last week....going to try to get back on track this week. So, I am down one whole pound this week..plus I lost the pound I had gained last week.

Okay, so I haven't checked in in a few weeks because I hit a stall for 5 WEEKS!! It got a little discouraging checking in with no weight loss each week. However, all of a sudden this week I dropped between 5-6 lbs! Yeah! I really thought my weight loss was done, but I guess there's always hope. So for those of you feeling discouraged, hang in there. On the not so bright side, I'm just past my 3 month surgiversary and my hair has REALLY started coming out. Wow, I hope it doesn't keep up at this rate, or I will be skinny and bald, instead of fat with hair. At least I'll match my husband! LOL
