This space is dedicated to all the “Magnificent March 2013” people that have decided to make major changes in their lives. This is the space to celebrate our NEW LIFE together!

Hi guys' date=' checking in. I have been at a standstill for the last 2 weeks and it is getting frustrating. I hit onderland and boom it stopped. I have been 198-199 for two weeks. I have been working out a lot and trying to get all of my fluids and protein in. I get between 700-100 cal a day depending on the day and 90-110 g protein. Sometimes my water intake is not as much as it could be but, I am trying. I am really hoping to start losing again. I have a long way to go![/quote']

I know what you mean! I've been stuck between 170 and 171 for a couple of weeks. It's annoying. We got used to the quick weight loss and we have to let our bodies catch up. I weigh myself every day which I know I shouldn't do, but I can't stop myself. You are doing so great! Hang in there.

Three months today, down 59 pounds!! Yay! Eating remains challenging as I still have trouble with solids, but I'm sure it will get better. Weight loss is only about 2-3 pounds a week-slow & steady wins the race. I'm up to 40 minutes on the recumbent bike. It's at a slowish pace but still such an improvement. I have MS so fatigue, leg weakness (I walk w/ a walker) & balance will always be challenges. BUT 40 minutes on an exercise bike is so huge for me. Congrats to fellow losers!! Lets continue kicking a__!!

Hello everyone I have been in the hospital since last night. I had severe abdominal pain and vomiting whenever I tried to eat or drink. I had a scope done today. They were thinking it was a stricture but it was not. They found a very large marginal ulcer. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I was so scared. I am on iv fluid although still not peering much. They also said I would probably be here for a couple days.

Yikes! I hope u feel better soon, but I'm glad u went into the hospital. Get lots of REST!!

Hope they get you all fixed up like new real soon !

Wow!! You guys are doing amazing!! I am very jealous.

Congrats!!! You guys rock!!! I feel great so I know u two feel amazing!

Thanks everyone. Aside from my setback last week (being in the hospital with a large bleeding ulcer), I am feeling wonderful. I need to wait a couple more weeks until I can get more calories in before I start exercising heavily like I was before. It is really a bummer because I feel like I am losing so much muscle but, I am sure it will be better in the long run. Us Marchies are all doing so well!!!
