New Years Challenge

CW11/27-272

12/4-266

12/11-crazy at work and I forgot to weigh in

12/18-264

Slowly but surely

Grrrr, I'm stuck! Today's weight 225, same as last week.

Surgery date 11/18. I'm only 4 weeks post op, I really expected to lose more before hitting a stall. Starting weight 248, surgery day 239. Back to work 2 weeks post op @ 225. Gained 2 pounds, lost 2 pounds and here I sit. Frustrated! Appt today with surgeon, said to keep working on getting liquids, protein & exercise in daily, come back in 2 months. Said they will check my labs & if anything unusual shows, he will call me. This is still sooo hard!

So exited 225.6 today.

I've been up and down up and down and up and down the past 2 weeks...

Right now I'm at 199.8! So I did hit my goal!! I just want to make sure it stays below the 200 mark!!! Maybe even get to 197!

Yay for making it to ONEDERLAND! Big congrats!!!

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. It will work out. I was about 6 weeks out before I really settled into a routine and started using my fitness pal to track my food and exercise which really helped me. Some like me (170 pounds overweight) who lose mega weight those first few months have much further to go than you. It has slowed to a pound or two a week now that I am closer to goal. Your body has been through a lot it will happen just stick to the plan.

Today 215.8...scale moving in the wrong direction!

Down 2 more pounds this week. I better get it in gear if I am going to make my goal!! 6 more pounds and only 2 weeks left.....

Stayed the same..273
