My date was March 21. I'm down 60 lbs. very happy with that but this last month has been slow. I watch EVERYTHING I eat, walk 3 miles 3-4 times a week yet I'm really struggling going down any more. I'm still at around 600 calories. I'm still40 lbs away from where I want to be. Any suggestions? Oh and my hair is falling out like crazy.

Hi, I was stalling big time, it turned out I wasnt eating enough, go figure. I loose best getting in about 800 calories, maybe it is worth a try. My Hair loss was really bad for a while, it is now slowing down, thank goodness.

Thanks I'll bump up the calories and see if that works. How long before the Hair loss slowed?

How is everyone doing? Just hit my 6 month mark on the 5th. Down ~115 lbs and stalling. Figured it would happen the closer I get to goal though. Gonna start incorporating more exercise and see if that helps.

Hope everyone is doing great :)

Hi all I am just over 5 months out and down 87 from my highest. I have been at this weight for the past 3 weeks and am getting very frustrated. My birthday is this Saturday the 13th and I was hoping to be near my goal by now but it is not happening. I am getting very frustrated. They said it is normal to just switch things up so that is my plan. I will be adding strength training to my workouts to help build muscle witch they say speeds up the metabolism. I hope this works cause I have more to loose. Well hope everyone is having a great day.

It Has been a while since mt last post hope everyone is doing well. I have finally reached 100lbs down in less than 8months. I had 2lbs that would not get off inthe last month and I got a new trainer and he has really jump started my loss again. Helping to get those 2 plus pounds off. I am so happy. Just 29lbs left to my goal and I hope to be there by Christmas cant wait.

Anyone else losing at a snail's pace?!!! I swear I've been trying to lose these 10 pounds to finally get into "onederland" for more than two months now! I really thought this would be the week but nope, not yet...LOL...I'm happy that I am able to eat and still be losing but come on, it's SO close! Just thought I'd share my frustrations...anyone with some tricks up their sleeves? :)

I started doing high intensity work outs and that helped me. I am back to 1- 2lbs a week with my work outs.

Yeah, working out just might be what I need...in the summer I was riding my bike a lot but now that I'm back to work, I have little time to do it, plus it's getting cold. Maybe I need to suck it up and use the elliptical/clothes rack in my room. So hate exercising like that--much rather be doing something physical.

Slow losses here too, but I'm Okay with that and I know that pumping up my physical activity would improve my results. My. body feels so much better getting 80+ lbs off. I'm still 50 lbs from my ultimate goal. My next mini-goal is 100 lbs loss, I'll be there by the end of January at the latest. I remember Holiday seasons past where I would dread what the scales would do. So far my biggest worry is what to wear.... Lots of xxx clothes have been donated.....

I just yesterday went through my closet and got rid of all my old clothes...I haven't fit in most of them for some time now but couldn't bring myself to give them away...I am so scared that I will gain this weight back...I still have another 40 pounds to my goal weight...not sure that I'll make it there by the one year mark, but as long as I'm still losing I'm happy.

      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!!
