Im not sure if this is related to weight loss, but my 21 yr old daughter and almost 15 yr old daughter and I took salsa dance lessons tonight for the first time. I'm looking for a more fun way to exercise and it was quite a workout for an hour. Lol! The twirls have your arms up for some minor aerobics and make you wish you took some anti nauseous medicine ahead of time! But its gentle on your feet learning the basic steps. Although there is a bit of looking down at your feet, say "I'm sorry", look down at feet again, repeat "I'm sorry", look down at feet.....

SCARED- Do you know if you have thyroid issues or PCOS? I have PCOS and it is very difficult for me to lose weight. I am on Metformin and I think that has helped a little. Dont be discouraged. Maybe you are not eating enough calories?

Parker - I have PCOS also. I'm not taking my Metformin . ... I just quit when I had surgery. Not sure if I still need to take it. I was taking 2000 mlg a day.

_{Is anyone else feeling cold due to weight loss? We have the heater running all day in the office at work' date=' and in my car too. California is having a cold freeze, but I think its the weight loss too. [/sub']}

_{And I feel for everyone dealing with constipation - me too.}

_{After surgery I was cold all the time. Doctor had me taking baby aspirin daily for blood clots. I had to take them for three months. Now that I'm done with them I'm not as cold as before.}

That sounds like so much fun!!! I love to dance!!

Slow looser club!!!

Sounds crazy but.... One if our group members was part if the slow looser club. She was advised to go back to liquids for two days. She lost over 4 pounds out if a 7 week stall.

I was pumped... So I did it myself. It was not hard at all. I've lost 3 pounds this week.

Give it a try just to experiment and see what results you get.

Stalled for almost two weeks, then I gained 4 lbs on the scale. Its that TOM, which is being particularly prissy this round. I know intellectually that I have not really gained 4 lbs. There is no way. I should have lost 6 lbs in the last two weeks based on my average. I have a follow up visit this morning and I was hoping to be further along when I do my weigh in. No tears here, though. Anything is better than where I was.

I think my mini stall broke. Yippee! I weigh myself all the time. I should pick a dang day and record my weight ey?

Delta- I know it's frustrating to see the numbers go up. ????????????????

When it's my TOM I will not dare get on the scale till the week after. I just can't stand to see the gain even if it is TOM.

We must have posted around the same time because I didn't see this? But I'm interested to see what your doc says. I don't like TOM- not my friend! How far along are you?

Has anyone else been going through major impatience at just wanting to reach our goal weight right now?

I feel so ridiculous because there is no way I would have lost weight prior to this surgery at this rate and I should be feeling (and do) so grateful. But the goal is getting closer and I'm just wanting to get this journey completed in order to focus on to other personal goals. The more weight loss there is, the more I realise I'm still me. That the thinner me didn't change who I am inside.

I had to attend a seminar today for work, and there were all of these women, very trim and professionally dressed. I looked in my reflection in the mirror and for the first time, I could see my own body shape not standing out from them as it used to before when I was at my highest weight. It felt good.
