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.

So frustrated and impatient, and going on vacation soon for 10 days, will be active.....and hopefully will eat healthy, and lose weight ........

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!

Congrats. That is so awesome. You go girlie!
