Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

We can do this!! Just have to stay strong and focus.

I stepped up my workouts this week. My food was already good so that's the thing I can improve.

Rj, our surgery was the same day and now our stalls are aligned. Im at 3 weeks too. Interesting huh?

Wow thats just weird :-) all i know is every time i look in the mirror i smile. Also i have a theory that its winter so its built into our dna to store fat during these months. goes back to when we were hunters and gatherers.

its getting better everyday, haven't hit my goal yet but I'm thankful from what I have done so far my Daughter is just amazed that how much active I'am now

Wow... Thank you so much everyone! You are all so kind and supportive. I'm a lucky gal! not that I don't want you all to succeed, but it is comforting to know I am not alone. Your words have me feeling refreshed and ready to try tackling this again. Thank you thank you thank you. <3 Hopefully my labs will reveal a possible reason for my LONG stall.... Until then I'll keep on keeping on! Xoxoxo!

Omg I thought I was the only one!! I was freaking out earlier this week cause I haven't lost anything in over a month. I thought it was cause I was cheating a bit but I've been bouncing between the same 6 lbs for what seems like forever. Thank god I'm not the only one!! Makes me feel so much better. I was getting depressed thinking I was screwing up or sabotaging myself. Fingers crossed that the scale moves for all of us really soon! I've got 20lbs left

Me to, I've been at a stall for over a month, tethering between 10 lbs...I'm 15 lbs away and it's fighting me back with a vengeance, lol...The way I look at it, I still got 6 months to reach my personal goal, it's been challenging to go workout in this cold snowed city Chicago...

Well... I have an update for you... I decided to weigh in this morning because we will be away tomorrow morning and i like to try and have the same set up every time I weigh in... I wish I could share some good news with you, but unfortunately not... I literally did not lose one ounce! Nothing! Exact same weight as last week... As the last 3 months! I'm SO depressed. All I could do was literally cry. I don't get it. I've tried everything. Upping protein, lowering fat, lowering carbs, all liquids, upping exercise, UPPING CALORIES, and not tracking at all... I'm going to call my surgeons office and ask if they'll run labs... I have hypothyroidism and am worried that my thyroid pill isn't getting absorbed so my thyroid has slowed down a ton. I'm just over it. It's such hard work for zero reward... Dearest Wannabeawifey, I agree with Baconville & iamsoworthit we are all hitting stalls and our bodies have figured out what we have done.The human body is a self correcting mechanism it will sort itself out. Your doing everything right just stay on target and it will pass . go away enjoy your time and don't freak out about this. I've personally have been stalled for 3 weeks but still I still feel amazing. Ive been fat for so long a short stall like this is but a small bump on the road in this very long and amazing journey look in the mirror and see the awesome beautiful person who is blossoming Cheers RJ

Wow, did I need to hear this today!

Always the encourager. ????

So I did it. I booked my trip to Disney World today. This is my reward to myself for working hard this year. Last time I was there was 3 years ago and I could barely fit on the rides and I wasn't even at my heaviest. This year I'm going to have room to spare! And maybe I'll blend in on the photos that they take during the rides. Last time it was like where's Waldo in reverse. I'm also going to try to reach my original goal (145) by the time I go. So I have 9lbs to lose before April. I'm nervous about the food choices there. I know Disney is very accommodating and there are salads and stuff but had anyone been since surgery and what was ur experience with the food? Can't wait for April!!

I have season passes so I go quite a bit. You shouldn't have to much trouble in the parks getting something that you can eat. At the Magic Kingdom there is a restaurant called Be Our Guest that is really really good and you can order from a vast menu. They bring the food to you after you are seated. This is only during lunchtime after that you need a reservation for dinner. There is also a great restaurant by the Castle that has a million choices. Their grilled chicken ceasar salad is pretty good, baked chicken and ribs are awesome. The vegetables are cooked pretty good and soft enough. Epcot has an amazing amount of choices by the ride Soarin. You can definitely get salmon, chicken, salads etc. there and the prices aren't as bad as you would think. Animal Kingdom has a great restaurant called the Flaming BBQ.....I think it is something like that but there food is outstanding. They also have a Rain Forest Cafe in the park. Hollywood Disney has a restaurant in the back of the park right before the show Lights Motors Action (you need to see this show!) they have I believe jerk chicken, cuban sandwiches, etc. The commissary also has some good food there. There really are some good selections at all of the parks. You are going to do so much walking around and will be burning up the calories!! At the Market Place there is another restaurant created by the Rain Forest Cafe people and it is called T REX it is really amazing! Have a great great time you deserve it!!!

Yay for you!!! I haven't been to disney in years.

Well got on the scale today and i finely broke the 270 lb mark it was just a .8lb loss but I will take it! I been stuck at 270+ for a month (forever for me) now, hopefully it will start coming off more so I can hit my goal 29.4lbs more to lose. I been walking long speed walks from 3-4 miles 4 x a week weather permitting, cold doesn't bother me but iced up roads and sidewalks does, but i still get out and walk but at a slower pace and not as far but a longer time. The big part is keeping standing up, you seem to work your core more trying to keep your balance . Every one of you are a inspiration to me and Thankyou for your post.

I am SO with you on this crazy weather! I have lived my entire life in Minnesota. This winter has been the worst I can remember. I can't say that I am actually in a stall, I did lose a pound last week, but this week the scale has not moved. I think this weather has something to do with it!!

For the first time I have to agree on come on Spring! I always loved the winter but without the extra insulation on my body I got cold. Yes it's been cold out this year but I've never got cold until now, I went out and bought a kerosine heater to cut down on the electric and add more heat in the living room. 2 years ago if some said to me I'd be sitting in the living room at 85° I would of laughed. But I like the new me better... Lol
