October 2016-Surgery Date. Where are you now?

[M@E 84]

Had my 1st gain this week of 1lb I know why as just not been making great food choices so going back to basics this week and logging all food eaten and cutting out the crap! This is a journey and like other have said it's still hard to change bad habits and being able to eat less is not enough if you still eat crap! Lol.

Stats

HT 5.5
Start 238lb
Current 173lb
Loss 65lb
Goal 26lb to loose

Month 7 and wait loss is becoming so difficult now. Not dropping like it was. I started training with a Personal trainer and she said the first few weeks I'd probably gain and now this is freaking my head out. I haven't gained since surgery and now I am!! Very frustrating as I am so close to 84lbs lost but it keep fluctuating between 80 and 82lbs ugh. I need to stop putting pressure on myself but really wanted to be 100lbs loss by the end of May. Have nutritionist appointment today. She wasn't any help when I started so don't know what she's going to do today. On the positive the inches are slowly going if the weight isn't.

While working out DON'T be discouraged by the scale. You will not see it move. And if it does, your trainers right it might go up. I've been doing CrossFit for a few months now and the first month a the scale didn't move but the inches we're coming off for sure. As my clothes are fitting much better! It's important that we're working out to keep or loose skin under control. Plus you'll feel so much more healthier to! Keep up the good work!

I'm getting discouraged as well. Weight is coming off so very slowly. I'm down 76 pounds and I am so grateful but I'm just stressed about it. I have lost 76 pounds and still haven't gone under 200. Frustrating!

Perspective is so interesting. I read this and thought "wow! 76 lbs in under six months!" Hell, in a year that would thrill me! I think your loss is absolutely amazing from over here! It sucks that you're frustrated. Im dying to see onederland too.

I'm so disappointed in my self cause I thought I should have been at or close to my goal by now but I'm not, my goal is 175. Should I go back to day one and start from scratch

How many calories and carbs are you eating on average?

Have you followed up with a NUT?

was the bulk of that weight lost in the beginning or are you steadily losing even if it's slow?

Thank you so much, I did hit onderland finally.

I still can not poop. Anyone else having these issues? I am taking 3 ducolax and 3-4 bisacodyl daily to go.

I haven't lost anything in few months and a new diagnosis of sjorgens has kept me from pushing any workouts past walking (which I still do daily) put I am still determined to get the last 20 pounds off and keep them off. I am still learning my body with this new condition and at least this weight loss journey that I was already on prior to diagnosis is a benefit.
