01/03/14 214.5 01/10/14 210.6 01/17/14 208.0 01/24/14 204.8 01/31/14 202.6 Today 200.2 - so close to Onderland and so close to my goal, but things have really slowed down, 3.2 pounds next week is do-able - just not sure - EEK Goal for Valentines 197

Oops guess I'm a day early too!

Unfortunately after seeing my surgeon yesterday it was decided that I should not continue with the Challenge at this time. I have put my body in starvation mode again both by dehydration and not eating enough protein. Please everyone make sure you get enough of both everyday. It is so important to your health. I may join the next challenge but we will see I haven't decided yet. Good luck to you all.

I'm sorry to hear this, and I hope you quickly get out of starvation mode and drink drink drink!

By the way, how did your doctor determine that your body was in starvation mode?

Hang in there... myfitnesspal says I'm always under caloric needs and in starvation mode.

Not sure how your surgeon determined it but do whatever he/she says to make it o.k for your body.

I love the challenge for the support and accountabitity even when I don't reach my goals.

Friday morning check in! 167 today. I was 166 yesterday morning but that pound has come back. Regardless, it has taken me under my challenge goal and I am now only 1 bmi point off the 'overweight' category!! Yay!

No movement for the first time since surgery.
