Late June Sleeve Buddies?

[APanda911 80]

Waffling between 254-256 for the past few days. I don't know if these are stalls or if this is just the weight loss pattern to expect..?

Stalled between 236-238. Back and forth. Very frustrating.

Hi all! Sounds like we're all stuck in about the same place. I've lost 39 pounds. Or 39.5, or 38.5, or 39 again. But my body is like 'I'll never let you see 40 pounds lost!!!!'. I'm traveling now, so I don't have a scale, and food is complicated in a hotel. I do have a mini-fridge and a microwave but this was easier at home. BUT, I'm using the gym and the pool, so we'll see what that damned scale has to say in a week! Have a great weekend, everyone! I'm moving my baby into his dorm for sophomore year today, say a little prayer for this mom's heart <3

ROFL as that is so true about being stuck. I am doing the same dance and so want to get to 40 pounds lost. Closest I've gotten is 39! I am sure it is harder while traveling, but i have no doubt you will do well. Have fun with the move. A bit sad and exciting at the same time I am sure.

I just traveling on vaca and forgot my cups to help measure with no scale. I think I did ok and broke a week long stall with about 5 lbs lost. I didn't feel as deprived as lobster is my main food goal on vaca and it is diet approved. It just took more than one meal to eat one but saved money as well! Lobster hot for dinner lobster salad for lunch on beach!

@@chycky We've spent many summer vacations in Maine, and I ate lobster every. single. day. I haven't had any since my surgery, but I may try some soon! I hope your vacation was wonderful

[chycky 671]

@@ShelterDog64 thank you! If you get a chance it is well worth it. Lobster is not as cheap here as it was up in RI but I will be looking to have again before season ends.

@@KristenLe I shudder to think I could become allergic I could eat it every meal!

Really struggling with Water the last two days being somewhat off normal schedule due to vaca has been challenging. I put priority on the Protein shakes! I even made some of the chicken broth protein but had one snafu when water was too hot had to dump the hockey puck "biscuit" that formed and start over!

Mine was the 28th!! 40lbs down!

Sounds like most of us are in a stall. I lost like crazy last week but this week has been hovering between 247-249. That's fine. I know it will come off eventually. I've gotten to the gym twice this week and I'm watching what I eat. I've been struggling with remembering my Vitamins with the new work schedule but i set an alarm and that's helping.

After 14 days of up down up down, do I dare trust the brand new 1/2 lb loss my scale showed this morning? Think I am going to see if it is real on tomorrow's episode of "Days in our lives of weight loss...."

@@magoosmom - glad you had that ride last week. I bet you feel great!

@@suzzzzz take the loss . I consider the lowest weight recorded to be my weight until the next lowest weight! Really eating less than 800 calories and working out I ignored the back and forth 1/2 lb that happened. I know that will change and will eventually need to watch climbs but at this point I am sticking to LW that I get even if takes a week to come down again!

Thanks. I like that idea. I get having a stall, just didn't expect to do that dance for 2 weeks solid. And, I am happy to report another 1/2 down which takes me to 40 lbs lost in 2 mths. I am happy with my progress and so grateful that I don't feel deprived. I need some of that lobster to celebrate!

My stall has ended too!!!! I'm -43 lbs since 21 June :-) I agree about not feeling deprived, I've had meatballs, beet and feta salad, quinoa, spinach, steak and oatmeal in just the past few days. Plus, the fridge in my hotel room has a tiny little freezer space so I got a box of my beloved sugar-free tropical Popsicles. Happy Sunday, losers!!
