Just had my 4 month check up. Doc says doing good. I'm in a bit if a stall but I know it is because I've been snacking more than I should and have gotten a little cocky. So I am back to measuring again. Not going to get into bad habits again. Glad to see my November peeps doing well. Worm you are my hero!! You look amazing.

Whats the average weight loss for November peeps.. .that 4 months out now...

Sweet....I'm at 4 mos (DOS 11/13/12) and down 73 pounds. At a stall now but losing inches.

[SweeetRissa 1]

Omg! That was my date 11/13/12! Im only down 46lbs.... what do you eat? Do you workout?

[worm2872 635]

Rissa, I am only down about 54 since surgery on 11/19. So we are close since I have been slowing down. Dr. says about 2-2.5 pounds per week is about normal but that includes averaging in the big drop the first month.

EeyoreGirl, Thanks but my snacking has creeped up too. I hate the fact my Dr. told me to be around 900 calories. It was like giving me a license to eat. But I refuse!

Thanks worm!! I just need to start working out and add more Protein to my diet. At least that's what im going to try....i haven't worked out yet cuz i had complications in the beginning.... so i had my first surgery nov 8th, got a blockage, they redid my surgery the 13th, then i got pneumonia and Fluid in my lung. I was in hospital for almost a month.. im feeling good now...i just get tired quick..

Thank goodness I'm not the only one. I'm losing hair in bunches! And I seriously look as if I now have a old mans balls hanging from my chest! I can't even begin to right the right bra. A boob job will be in order!

Just spit my drink everywhere! Thankfully it was Water. I never thought I'd consider getting boobs but the gals may need some renovation when I finish losing. I want to go to a store like Soma to get a pro to help figure out bra size but I don't want fork out big bucks for a bra I may wear for only a month or two.

So I have new before and after pics to share! I am down from a 44 bra to a 37! But so far the girls are holding it together I have gone from a D to a C. My hair is falling out...a LOT! But I am just pretending that it looks like more than it is and since I still have some on my head it goes in a ponytail I have had a lot of stress this month so I am needing to go back to the gym. So far I am down 72 lbs! Feel good (now that I am over pnuemonia). Just watching what I eat while I couldn't work out. Trying to drink more fluids. Hope everyone is doing well!

Anyone else have a pouch that is picky about the time you eat? The last couple of days have been hectic and I've been eating supper later then I like to... then about dying after... its not that I'm eating anything I shouldn't or haven't tried yet so the only thing I've been able to narrow it down to is that its a couple hours later then I would normally eat... thank God for papaya enzyme... they do help!

I've noticed that too lately!! If I wait to eat then when I do its a little painful

I would love to be on the Facebook group!!! Stardustjdb@hotmail.com. Jessica baker Thompson on fb. I've tried a couple times but can't find it and haven't been added. I am losing my hair like crazy. The past month has been awful. 11/27/12 down 60lbs 26" since I measured 4wks ago. I am at a stall or losing/gaining 3lbs. Frustrating. Hope I'm not done losing. Would love to be 160 but dr said dig deep and had me set goal at 140. 187lb today. I hate Protein Drinks. Getting all my Vitamins and really try to get all my fluids. It's a battle w food daily but I love the new me and am not going back. Everyone is doing well. Love reading your posts!
