My fitbit tells me all the time that I am sleeping too much. I used to be a 6 hours per night kind of person and now I need closer to 9 or 10 hours in order to feel normal. My doc says it is totally normal and that eventually the tiredness will go away. They did have me up my carbs a bit so that I had enough energy to work out and that has helped a lot during the day. I still eat way more Protein than carbs, but adding a little has helped a lot. Before I added in some carbs I was coming home at 6pm and going right to bed. Now I can stay up until around 9pm before I get super tired.

You girls are doing great!!! Give ur bodies a chance to "readjust" to the rapid wt loss!!! U may not see the scale move for a few wks but how do ur clothes fit & take ur measurements! You all inspire me so : )

I went to the doctors yesterday and I've lost 52 lbs in 9 weeks, slower than some, but I'm very happy to be losing slower than most. I'm eating everything, so very happy i had the surgery. My goal is to lose 10 lbs a month and hopefully that will alleviate skin removal surgery.

I wanted to share my news. I went to the Doctor today for my 2 month check up. Since my last visit, I have lost 14.5 pounds of pure fat. I gained a half a pound of muscle! Whoop whoop! My Doc said, "well you are done, cause I have nothing to fuss at you for! Whatever you are doing keep doing it!"

I am on cloud 9.

Down 32 pounds total! And bought the cutest Easter dress two sizes smaller!
