"Lord give me patience and HURRY IT UP!" I have know idea who said that but the phrase stuck with me. Lol. I'm waiting not so patiently to get the call that I'm approved and can schedule a surgery date!! In the meantime, I get on here to read the good, the bad, the ugly and mostly to see all of your before and after pics! After tonight's reading about someone's dreaded stall, a thought sparked. How often should we way ourselves? I know when I did weight watchers (all 700 times) I was told to way once a week. Is it hard not to become obsessed with the scale? Also, another question. Any veterans on here? I understand most people keep their weight off 1 year, what 3 years? 5 years? I know, I know, I know it's different for everyone and it depends on the lifestyle CHANGE. As much excited as I am for positive, healthy changes in my future, I have a little spec of worry that I might fail just like all my previous attempts.

I am 13 years out and maintained a 105 lb loss for 12 years. then my sister ( last living relative except for cousins with whom I am not close) died. this year I have put back on 20 lbs from night time poor me eating but thank GOD I woke up at 20 lbs. I started back to the support groups joined overeaters anon for the emotional eating and went back to the basics of the food program. I have taken off 15 lbs in two months and plan to get the rest off ( now that Christmas is over lol) yes it does work but it is a tool and I will always have a tendance to gain weight because I like the carbs best. if I stick to the rules I can keep the weight off

it is a lifestyle change and it must be followed for your lifetime. I weigh once per week because I am one of those people who eat to Celebrate if I lose and beat myself up if I gain or even stay the same. hope this helps and best of luck to you

When I hit my stall, weighing myself every day was driving me crazy. Up two pounds, down one pound, up one pound, down 2 pounds, etc. I have decided to weigh myself only on Monday mornings. No ore than that.

Don't get obsessed with the scale. It can be your friend or it can be your enemy.

Since surgery I've only weighed myself on Thursday's and still do. Had a couple weeks at a stall so was throwing it out to the group being so new at this but agreed.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
