I just want to say great job to everyone. Today i am feeling so depressed. The scale hasnt moved, its not been long but already i am worried. I need smaller clothes but am afraid to buy them. What if i gain the weight back and now my clothes dont fit again. I can hear my mother in the back of my mjnd telling me 8 weeks out and only 37 lbs, i told this wasnt going to do anything for u and next ur just gonna gain it back everyone does. I am waiting to fail just like always. I needed to vent these feelings cause getting rid of them helps and i hope by not being afraid to put it out there and ask if anyone else fears these things or for some helpful words, i cant get my heade straight and not sabatoge myself

8 weeks out and you've lost 37 lbs. That is great progress! If you are eating the right foods, and not over-eating you have nothing to worry about. The weight will not return. If you are not receiving the encouragement you need from friends or family, you are welcome to log into this forum and discuss your concerns.

Keep up the great work!

I had a great 10 week appt. Yesterday! Pre surgery I started at 277, I weighed in yesterday at 221. Its slowed down a lot I only lost 14 in the past 4 weeks. I'm ok with that. I really only have 40 more to reach my personal goal

I've lost a little more in the last to weeks, I started upping my calories and not stressing out about every little thing I put in my body. I have always gotten at least 60grams of protein in, but never hit my water goal. I've been on a million diets and all of them say water water water and I've never been able to drink enough, I do my best. I don't exercise everyday but when I do it is usually very intense. It feels great to have some weight off and can't wait for the rest to come off. I've started Karate lessons which is an awesome workout, I'm still one of the biggest in the class but they don't make you feel like it. They don't push you to do things you can't, they just want you to do your best. I would recommend Karate to anyone who wants something really fun and different. I hope everyone is doing well. Keep up the good work, we are still at the begining of a new life.

Surf date 02-08-13-- I've lost 36 pounds.. but I have been in a stall for 6 days.. it's my first stall- any suggestions are greatly appreciated. On average I'm getting 60 grams of protein daily or more- drinking about 50 ounces of water daily.. and the only new thing going on is I've been adding veggies.. thanks for any advice:/

243 preop weight

Down 52lbs !!!!! Surgery was on 2/28.

Still have hard time getting everything in but I try. Really don't wanna force it and be sick or feel sick.

DOS 2/20- 233 lbs

Current- 206 lbs

Total 27 lbs lost

I eat about 800 cals a day and walk/jog for exercise. If I was super strict, low carbs and worked out harder I would be down more but I average about 2.5 -3 lbs a week. Only had one stall for one week. Very happy so far, looking forward to onederland within the next few weeks!
