Are STALLED, like myself!! That way we can keep each other company before we go bat $h!t crazy!!

LOL

I read ALL ABOUT these stalls before surgery and KNEW I could very well have it happen to me.... but yet I am still depressed and about to pull my hair out since the scale hasn't moved in almost 2 weeks!!!

Lost 30 lbs my first 2 weeks post-op - but now NOTHING the past week and 5 days!!

Anyone want to add????

VENT AWAY!!

So I let myself get into a slump for nothing this week due to my slow weight loss since surgery. Had the best weight loss this week since surgery- Lost 5 lbs this week and hit onderland! thanks everyone for the words of wisdom!

Innerme that's GREAT!!!! So happy for you!!

I think it's safe to say my stall has broke as well! Have gone down 4 lbs since Sunday!!! B)

So yesterday my scale was down just a bit but I've been going up and down between 2 1/2 pounds for awhile now so I was only a little hopeful. I toyed with the idea of not weighing again until next Monday but I too am a scale wh*re and that thought didn't last. This morning I promptly got up' date=' pews and jumped on the scale and............

I WAS DOWN TWO POUNDS!!!!

I hope this means I'm back to going down, down, down.

I hope the rest of you get past your stalls sooner than later.[/quote']

I too saw 2 pounds down this morning! Hoping this is a good sign! Really wanting to experience one of those "5 pounds down overnight" scale victories! Congrats to you, and hoping all my other stallers will break free and begin losing again!

Quick question out of curiosity.. Everyone in a stall...if you are exercising how much do you lift weights vs doing cardio?

Myth: lifting weights will make women look ugly like body builders.

If all you do is cardio you should really try to do weight machines and every week you should be increasing the weight...

If you can do that then you know you are building muscle since you can lift more...and muscle burns calories 24/7. Cardio stops burning the minute you stop working out.

I've yet to meet/know a woman that won't do circuit training for fear of "bulking up" - I think that, in itself, is a myth!! lol Where are these women?! Do they actually exist?!

Congrats! I know, I too was hoping for one if those 5 pounds down things, but I'll take 2. My scale said the same thing today which I guess is better than a gain.

I know my wife will only do cardio she doesn't like to lift weights...and whenever I go to the gym mostly I see women come do cardio and leave, and men do both...

Your wife, I believe, is in the minority!

When I do the gym, I do 30 min of cardio, then 30 min of light weights, for toning. Not quite ready for the gym yet, but im getting there! I love my pool time and summer right now!

I will do 45 min - 1 hour of cardio then another hour- hour and a half of circuit. Each day is a diff part of my body. One day legs. Next day arms, next day core, etc. If I do a class (kick boxing, etc), I will still do atleast 30 mins of circuit afterwards (depending on how tired I am lol) :)

You do that now? Im not ready to go that hard. I swim laps 3x a wk for an hour each time, then the other 3 days, I walk with weights for 30-60 min, depending on the heat and my energy level. I dont eat enough cals at a month out to sustain a heavy work out. Soon, I'll be restarting my 30 day shred vid I have from my last major weightloss attempt a couple years ago

she just admitted she hates lifting weights... and likes the cardio better... so just kinda thought maybe other women were similar..since I only see men on the free weights and bar bells... dunno..just an observation...didn't mean to stereotype or something...

I dont get too much into the free weights, most ladies at my gym use the nautilus machines

I was sleeved on June 18, and just got back from camping this last week eager to weigh myself.... Lost 20lbs first 2 weeks, but only lost .4oz in last 10 days... Very disappointed, we are having a heat wave hoping I'm retaining water. I've been on regular food since 2 weeks, dr doesn't suggest purée foods as they just slide and you tend to eat more calories, so I did start with meats this last week 4 or 5 bites, but also had ice cream and cheesies, was so hot and camping... Went down easy. Nothing bothers my sleeve. I know the little bit of ice cream and cheesies I had wasn't enough to harm me, I just know from the past that my metabolism is so slow, and any cheat effects my loss.

My wife was one of those also. Took me years to convince her that as long as she was doing lots of reps & not going beyond muscle failure, she would add density to her muscle rather than bulk.

Oh no girl - I am with you - I am not up to near enough calories a day to sustain a workout like that. That is my "normal" regimen prior to surgery. lol I am still battling light headed and faint bouts at 4 weeks out with the light exercise I've been doing. I would LOVE to be able to work out hard like that again but I am not going to push myself now, that's for sure. 30DS I've heard is great, I've had LOTS of friends do it and they loved it!
