3 Pounds Away From A Small, But Too Difficult, Victory.

[Raven21 121]

I'm trying really hard to lose some weight pre-op. I have a medical scale with those big 50 lb increments on the big weights and the little slide weight at the top. I started at 262. I'm now 252. Which means 3 more pounds until I can move that big 250 pound weight over to the 200 and use the little bar!

Small victory, I know, but when I slide that chunk over from 250 to 200, it's going to feel like I've lost 50 pounds.

I can't believe I've only lost 10 pounds in about 6 weeks, though. I was completely sedentary and eating anything and everything. Now I'm being very careful (not crazy) with my food and walking tons and doing yoga and Water exercise at least once or twice a week. I would have sworn I'd drop more just from the drastic change in eating and exercise.

Sounds like you may be replacing fat with muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, but once you've got enough the scale will plummet. Keep up the good fight!
