I have been in a stall for about 3 weeks, but I have notice inches coming off, but I will admit not seeing the scale move was internally driving me crazy!!! But I did enjoy buying smaller clothes even though the scale held steady at 214 lbs...

I kept going to the gym and working out, eating my Proteins first, drinking my liquids, etc.. just trying to stay positive and encouraged and BAM! I did my 8 wk post op weigh in and the scale read 210 lbs... down 22 lbs since surgery 39 total weight lost!!

So my bottom line is that inches will equal pounds and inches will get you in a smaller size before the scale catches up with you

look at you! You're rocking that sleeve! Go Girl!!! I agree with you that inches come off during stalls... and it's a great feeling! Sometimes we just have to take those pictures and LOOK at what our bodies are capable of doing, even when the scale isn't moving!!

You look great!! Keep going and continue to do what you're doing!!

I love this!!!!!

I had the same 3 week stall happen to me and it was soooo frustrating! Even though we are losing inches, there is something about that dang scale and its numbers that make it all the more real that the weight is coming off! I keep having to remind myself that I didnt gain it overnight and I am not going to lose it overnight!

Keep rockin' that sleeve! You look wonderful!!!!

Great outlook! I'm also a part of "Operation Sexy 2012" ! Keep rocking it

The one main regret i have is not taking my measurements before WLS. Obviously they are so helpful - DH tried to help me take my measurements, but we were unsuccessful - holding the tape measure wrong - who knows.

I also had him try and take a before picture of me. Hmmmm , no success

one more regret is not doing a blog.

ok these are my confessions for the day - stay tune

BTW Bluebonnet, I agree you look absolutely terrific

ShannonH don't worry the sleeve won't fail u or should I say you won't fail the sleeve....stalls will happen some longer than others...and this may be TMI but whenever Aunt Flo is near the scale won't move either...that was my first stall, but this last one for 3 wks was a bummer but I knew it was gonna b temporary b/c I was following the plan.... Know & Believe in your success and you will have victory! Remember Proteins first....drink drink drink your liquids & keep moving & the scale will move!

Thank you ladies for your encouraging & kind words...It's really helping me..Size 14 here I come!
