How much weight have you lost thus far?

Yesterday was amazing! A couple years ago I couldn't walk up the trail to see Yosemite falls' date=' and yesterday I was able to climb rocks and feel the mist on my face! Do not regrets my decision at all!

I love hearing the NON SCALE victories the most. This is a great story.

Anyone considering trying liquids for a few days to jump start things or does that even actually help? Don't want to loose after just to gain it back lol... What do you guys think?

I think some people have done it. I haven't done it, but how could it hurt? Nothing ventured, nothing gained (or lost as the case may be....)

Today I decided to get B-12 shots weekly to see if my energy gets better.

Don't get me wrong I'm excited at the success ive made but my goal is 160 perfectly I would like to see 140 but here lately now that I've gotten off a 100lb I'm starting to worry that I won't see either of those numbers :/

I know what you mean. When you have so much to lose, it does sometimes feel a little impossible. However, I'm still shooting for that, doing everything we are supposed to do, so time will tell. The weight is coming off slower now, and that's disappointing, but as long as it keeps coming off, we can get there!

How many calories do you eat? I find that I just can't function on the recomended 600-800 calories a day. I need at least 900-1000, or I'm just fatigued and foggy. I'm not hungry, just dragging. As long as I stay around 900-1100 and exercise regularly, I feel pretty darn good. I keep telling my husband I'm the only person I know who is getting younger instead of older

I am allowed 600 calories a day, my doctor is very strict! I was feeling pretty good until a few weeks ago, the b-12 shot helped today, I will see how I do with the weekly shots.

I don't know how you do it on 600 calories (still). I know I would not be functioning if that is all I could eat. I really hope the B-12 helps, but if it doesn't get you over this hump, in spite of what your doctor believes, you may need to up your calories a little.

Yeah, 600 calories is not much. I know my doc would like me to be at 600-800, too. I just can't function on that. I do fine at 900-1100, but try to stay in the 900 range. I tried a few weeks ago to cut back to 700-800, and I found that I could barely make it up the steps in the morning at work, and I actually didn't lose anything for a couple of weeks when I did that. For me, I just find it's not helpful. I applaud you for being able to do it, I know lots of people do and are fine with it, just not me.

Finally broke out of the 180's. Weighed in at 179lbs this morning!

Woohoo you broke the stall! Great job!

I was sleeved 13/12/12 and I've lost only about 40-45 lbs so far. I am jumping around from 175-180 for the last month and a half now. Has anyone been in the same range for such a long time?! I also have been having quick, sharp pains in my left abdomen and ribs the last few days. Has anyone else experienced that??

I had surgery 12/27/2012 and I am only down 45 pounds also, it is really upsetting for me because my doctor's nurse keeps telling me I should be losing more. It is making me feel like I am doing something wrong, when I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I don't know what the problem is. I am very frustrated...I only lose 4 - 5 pounds a month and it sucks.

Look at your carb intake, I cut almost all carbs and have lost a lot of weight and inches. Never under estimate how much weight you have lost, be proud of your accomplishment!
