Recommended Posts

Whew that was a tough lb to lose. 174 today. 4 more and I'm there! I have been thinking about "what's Next". I mean I am really about to be there!!!! Im not sure what it's like to not have weight to lose, to have conquered this life long nemesis. I feel rocky music queuing up.....

Pasquini,

Congrats! Less than 5 lbs. to goal!

After you get to goal, what do you plan to change to enter maintenance and stop losing? I've got 15 plus a few ounces to go to goal, but I've been thinking about how I'll do maintenance quite a bit lately. When I'm not obsessing about not losing the last 15 :-)

I'm really not sure, I pretty much eat normal now, except I watch my carbs. I can increase my carbs but not to the detriment of Protein intake. I have been trying to figure that one out. Guess I will be spending some time on the maintanance threads.

It is such an amazing feeling!! and terrifying one too. Though it has always been my dreams but I think the same like you, who is gonna be there for me to defeat? should my life start revolving about something else other than beating pounds and gaining my health?

It is so scary for me, I know maintenance wont be easy but We will get used to it one day or another, and then what? lol I think I have developed so many passion toward sports and life, I will start to conquer those and may be the next thread we will be asking , where are we now? :)

Best of luck to u and everyone!!

congratulations Pasquini! 4 to go that is fantastic, my friend.

I think maintanence will not be so hard, (not there yet so what do I know) You will be fine, you are determined to get there and stay there. Just keep doing what you are doing while upping your calories just a bit.

My theory is that those who lose fast have a harder time with maintaining because their bodies haven't cought up to the trauma, but those who lose slow have an easier time because their bodies have had a chance to regulate somewhat and are used to what we are putting it through. Again just a threory.

Can you attach audio to here? LOL I would love to hear the Rocky music when reading your goal thread hahhahah.

I'm actually more concerned about not losing to much rather than regain. At least right now. I guess I'll just add a regular margarita night in ;-).

Hmm

Audio aye?

Good luck on your last 4 Lbs!!

I don't think I'll ever know what it's like to not have a goal before me... if anyone can share, that would be great.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
