Winter Challenge?



Recommended Posts

I've got a question for the vets, did you find it was tougher to stay on plan or lose weight in the winter? I'm thinking I'm fighting evolution. I was losing pretty steady and the only stall I've hit was at three weeks, none since so it might just be a stall. With poor weather I can't get out for walks as often and I'm not very dedicated to exercise. What do you think, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I suggest getting a recumbent exercise bike (new or used) and parking it in front of the TV. The TV helps with the monotony and it keeps your metabolism going!

What winter challenge..... :huh: Couldn't help it......a Florida stab........ The stalls are gonna happen and they will take a toll on your desire to continue to exercise... DO NOT GIVE UP......That is the time to make even more effort to get to a gym or bundle up and go outside......do whatever you have to do to keep getting in the exercise. That will break the stall, but more importantly it will solidify your resolve to maintain the change in your lifestyle that must include exercising. ;)

Hi...I am 3.5 years out and I hit a stall at about the same time you are (about 6 months out). It's normal and has nothing to do with the season. You've lost 85 lbs in 5 months! That's incredible. But I just wrote yesterday in my blog the difference between the One Year Sleeve, the Two Year Sleeve and the Three Year Sleeve, so you might want to read it. Bottom line, is that get as much weight off as you can in the first year! http://www.queenofcrop.com/

Good luck and keep at it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
