Okay, here are our numbers for the week (please note, the numbers may seem smaller than last week as I have had to remove some people due to non-participation and/or not reporting their total pounds lost goal.) There are 69 active participants included in these numbers:

Total pounds wanting to be lost: 8161

Total pounds lost to date: 2957.5

We're at 36% percent of goal

Awesome job everyone! Keep it up!

I am EXACTLY where you are, but just 10lbs behind. SW 313 CW 277. scale hasn't moved in over a week. I'm so frustrated too. I thought maybe it was cause I am working out but I don't want to stop doing that. I'm getting my 80 grams of Protein and 64oz of Water. I'm 31 and been overweight my whole life. Maybe my body doesn't want to be thin?!

What are you doing for Protein, Water, and exercise? Maybe we can figure this out together!

Never fear Britt...yes, everyone will probably have a second, a third, a fourth, etc on the stalls. When I spoke to my NUT, she explained that the weight loss is not a straight line down, but more like stairs. Lose some...stall out...lose some...stall out. She explained that when your body loses the weight, it has to keep making adjustments (which translates into stalls). Once it has adjusted to the new 'state of affairs', then the weight will start moving again...just in time for another stall.

I had a very long one at 3 weeks, and then another one last week (I am 9 weeks post op tomorrow).

Hang in there! Keep doing what you're doing, and it'll come off!

Same thing here!! Doing really good. Working out a lot. Actually about to move to Dallas so that's fun. I was in a huge stall and had to up my calories too!!! But like you, it's working again and I'm down 45 total and 38 since surgery.

After the crossed legs joy, another big victory...NOT USING A BELT EXTENSION ON A FLIGHT. Yeap! I still brought my own extension, as I always do, but I didn't have to use it! It felt great. Liberating!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
