Good day today I went to my surgeons office and I'm down 24 lbs since 1/29/13 and since November I'm down all in total of 42. I don't feel like I have lost weight but my clothes are lose. Keeping my eyes on the prize. Go January surgery group.

Many fitness professionals state that we should track Our inches over weight.......

As we lose the (I hate this word) fat the protein helps us retain and build the muscle. Muscle weighs more than the fat. So it makes sense to track measurements vs weight. I am not a fast "loser" but I definitely see a difference in the way clothes fit.

Thank you! I will do that.

NSV:::: a winter coat I purchased Christmas 2011, & couldn't wear comfortably cause arms were too tight & I couldn't button the bottom buttons...... Fits beautifully now!!!!!! Silly I know.... But since I have changed pant sizes yet this is big for me!!!!

It feels good right? That's how I feel.

I am having a down week this week. I don't know what is going on with me! I'm loosing slower than most people around my surgery group and that is messing with my mind. My husband is leaving at the en of this month for a 6 month deployment. I'm just emotionally all over the place and to top it off I'm on week 3 of my period. I just need some help pulling it all together. HW 265 DS 256 CW 229

Hang in there. I also had my period for almost three weeks on bcp and I was frustrated but it finally went away. Our bodies get so screwed up after surgery. My guess is the stress of your husband leaving isn't making matter worse. I have found that I pay no attention to what others are losing. I will be five weeks out and have lost around 30 pounds which is more then I would have been able to ever lose prior to surgery. Just remember slow and steady wins the race-lol. I also find measuring and just knowing that my clothes are fitting differently is huge. Keep your eye on the big prize (goal weight). Keep working your program your surgeon and his staff have designed and follow all instructions as much as you can you will do fine.

Also spend as much quality fun time with hubby as you can before he leaves and think how much smaller you will be when he comes back... I have found when I am feeling down I put on some of my favorite music and clean and or organize something (ie drawer- junk). crazy but it gives me time to think. So do something that makes you happy. Hope your day gets better....
