10 pounds under goal...stalled..:D



Recommended Posts

One year and nine months out, started at 340, down to 210...10 pounds under goal. I have been stalled here, staying within 5 pounds for 6 months.

I am not complaining, I am happy. Like when I was as kid and grew my hair long...you never have to cut it because it stops by itself.

My body found it's happy place.

I could lose another 10 pounds by having a doc slice off the excess skin but I think not. Perfection was not my goal.

I am 64 and have no desire to gyrate in front of screaming women who are stuffing dollars into my scanty clothing.

Must maintain some semblance of dignity! :huh::D

Hi,

From what I have been reading on these blogs that the best way to get over a stall is to get back to basics. Do what you did at the start when it was just falling off!!! I am so sure you can ahieve your goal (so close...wish it was me...not long to go)and I am guessing that your body is just testing you to see if you are seriously committed to your new lifestyle! I think that this is a good learning experience because we will all need to re-employ our basic skills at different times to undo the damage done when we have been a little complaceent. Think of it as being a way for you to exercise these skills!

Amazing transformation....a big congratulations to you and your hard work!!!! Keep at it and you will conquer!!!!!!!!!

Ciao!

gman, you are such a rockstar, and one of my favorite members of VST. You've always had wonderful things to say and a wonderful attitude. I certainly can't see 10 lbs worth of excess skin, so that's just not true :P You are 10 lbs UNDER goal!! That is really freekin cool! You're looking really buff & healthy! Enjoy that Happy Place! :D

Thank you for all you contribute to the gang here, including your humor as well as the inspiration.

Weighed myself this evening after a hard days work. I'm down to 208. Stall broken.

I am now thinking my new goal will be to go to 200 and under....haven't been there since I was in my early 20's.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
