August sleevers progress

[susan6161 142]

I am closing in on the 100# mark as well, but still have a ways to go...currently at 221. The weight loss has REALLY slowed down, but it is still happening. I have been pretty sick with a fever for the last week and have no appetite at all. It just feels like I can't fit anything in that sleeve. Not sure if this is normal. I can barely get in a little Protein and a string cheese, but that is better than junk.

I am loving the sleeve and still kicking myself for not doing it 10 years ago when I first looked into it! I am glad I came to my senses. Hope everyone else is enjoying the journey!

How many lbs are you loosing a week ? Having a few hard weeks ... Same weight week 3 ...

1.8-2 is what I average. I tend to lose nothing for weeks and then lose 3-5 lbs all at once.

Woman me too! Exactly the same here. Kinda bound around a few pounds for a few weeks then lose 2-4 pounds then starts all over again Good to know I'm not alone.

No it's not. The closer we get to goal the harder it will be for the weight to come off. I also learned at my local support group that months 6-7 we plateau or have a stall. Hang in there!

Hit that 5 1/2 month mark and wait loss went from 10-12 lbs a month down to 5ish, 10.4 lbs to goal, 1.4lbs until "normal" BMI...hoping for goal by June ;o)

Yup! Mine went to 5-6 no worries we will get there!

Got on the scale today and 147 . 1 pound to go until 100 pounds gone. I am feeling hip, ribs,elbow bones that have been gone for so long I forgot what they felt like. I would like to ask what does one do to Celebrate 100 pounds gone?

My go to is a new tattoo, lol!

I would definitely DO something though, what an awesome accomplishment!!!

[barbmeow 92]

LOL I am worried the tattoo might weigh too much and I hate needles. I just ate 735 cals,and 70 gms of Protein, and carried on as usual. Thank you for the idea though.

Weigh too much? Lol!

Guess what? I HATE needles (injection, blood draw, IV) but tattooing is different, it is beauty. BUT I do understand they aren't everybody's cup of tea!

Have you figured out anything else (other than the meal)?

Sky diving? Dance classes? New jewelry?

;o) a really important milestone deserves a significant celebration, IMHO...

We have similar stats... my surgery 8/8/13.. HW 225 SW 213 CURRENT 145-148 Height 5'2

I couldn't be happier. . I think my body has settle and stopped losing at this point or maybe the weight loss has slowed down that I don't see a difference in the numbers for like 2 months but I'm not discontent I am actually happy at my current weight.. do you still want to lose more?
