Still stalled & trying not to be to frustrated. Thanks sooooo much for checking on me. How are you doing?

I've been stalled for the past two weeks. I'm trying to keep positive. Any suggestions. I go to the gym 3 days a week and walk daily for an hour. I do have a difficult time consuming my liquids. My average water I take is 36-42 ounces. Does that have anything to do with it?

Water will help flush bulk on out, but as long as you are working the program, it's working on you. I usually find that when the scales don't move, there is a bigger change in my size. Grab some pants that were too tight a couple of weeks ago and check the fit. The scale is an important tool, but it's not the only measuring tool to focus on.

Wow, I totally agree. Water is great. I am stalled at 32lbs lost but down 2 sizes. One size during the stall. So it is important to use all tools. Bring out those clothes you saved because you were going to lose those few pounds. They will fit and the ego boost is amazing!

I'm 3 weeks out & only able to get in about the same amount of water. If i get in 3 protein shakes, i only get in about 20 oz of water.

How did everyone do today for Easter? Of course my family had a huge luncheon. Food looked amazing but I managed. I had a (half portion) deviled egg, a tiny piece of ham (probably the size of a silver dollar), and a couple halves of strawberries. The only thing I splurged on was a forkful of my mom's lasagna. I was stuffed! It is so weird feeling like I ate SO MUCH yet looking back I barely had anything. I skipped the appetizers and sweets.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter nonetheless.

So down 45 in two months n I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant me n my husband r so excited been trying on n off for 7 yrs . Keep me in ur prayers all goes well for me n the baby cuz my sleeve is still new only 21/2 months since I had it. Suggesting has this happened to anyone?

I got my sleeve on March 4th and have lost 59 lbs since. My journey has been good so far. My hair loss has kicked in but I've been expecting that. There have been no complications so I can't complain. NSVs lately has been going to my hometown for a wedding last week and be described as "skinny" "tiny" and "small". I've never been described this way before.

I'm happier and would do this over again in a heartbeat.
