The last 30 pounds



Recommended Posts

I'll be the first to say it's the hardest pounds to lose. With the right frame of mind and the help of your band...I know you can do it.

Congratulations are in order for being so close to your goal....YOU GO GIRL!

I also need to lose 30 more pounds. Maybe we can try and do it together. I have gotton off track and need a boost to. I know that if I would measure my 3 meals a day and stick to that like I did in the beggining I would have no problem losing again. I have not lost any weight in 1 month. But I have not gained either. YEA!!! I am going to start weighing my food today and stick to my 3 meals with no Snacks in between. Man thats hard. Good luck to you.

I need more than encouragement, I need a BOOT up the behind. Its very hard isnt it?

I just mentioned in another thread, I honestly have not had to diet at all to lose the weight I have. The band limiting the amount I can eat has been enough, that and healthy choices most of the time. But I'm going to Weight Watchers with my mum on Thursday, its time for some added discipline!

Wow!! Congratulations!!! I need to lose 23 pounds and cant seem to know how to get rid of them as well. I am really hoping I can get past November and December. I wish the best for you and everyone else.

It's absolutely the hardest part, but you CAN do it. Keep your eye on the goal and if you slip up, don't beat yourself up about it. It happens to us all, just jump back on the wagon :)

I am with yall! I have floated between 165-170 for about 2 months now. I knnnnnnnnow I need a fill. I suppose that deep down inside I am so happy to be in a size 12/14 and feeling so great, and happy to be maintaining and NOT gaining that I have slacked off! I think it is time for us to step up the excersize, crack down on the food and portions, and fill to better restriction if necessary. I willl make goal!!! So will you!!!

It is hard! I am so thankful for like a pound or two a month!!! But you can still lose sizes and reshape your body more easily than losing weight (in my experience) at this weight. Exercise is the key.

I think if you have a goal of no more than 3-4 pounds a month at this point, you won't be disappointed.

Also, turn the exercise up and start going by how your clothes fit, not necessarily by your weight.

Good luck. I feel your pain.

I'm working on my last 22.....just had a fill on the 7th, hope this helps. I find that I have days where I can't stop munching. I do really good at meal time but whether I'm hungry or not I sometimes find myself "grazing".

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
