There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Dont forget to FOLLOW the thread!

No doubt about it. It is awesome to see people helping on the news. ?

Unfortunately I won't be able to participate. I fell from the deck steps (while carrying a small table), missed the step somehow and twisted my ankle. It hasn't swelled, but I surely can't put weight on it. Thankfully I still have my crutches from, unfortunately, other injuries. I'm gonna have to get an X-ray. Just don't feel like going right now.

Oh no ? So sorry to hear you hurt yourself. I hope it is not serious and just a twist that will heal quickly. Better to get an X-ray if it feels like it could be broken.

Feels better today...I can limp on my heel. LOL

Hey ya'll....hope everything is going alright! ???? I haven't weighed myself but feel like I'm at a plateau maybe. My clothes, I just bought a few t-shirts not too long ago and they're flowy now. I have to buy more bottoms (I'm sticking to jeggings and exercise bottoms) they're too big. I would have to say I'm probably a size 14 maybe??? I really do not know. I'd love to get some jeans, I miss wearing them. Soon. I haven't been able to go to the church store (they have thousands of clothes) yet, timing is off and there schedule is when I'm working. Ugh. Anyway, all is well, but I do struggle with my water intake, that, I'm mindful at least. I'd rather drink cold brew coffee all day, but I know it's not good to do. Again, hope everyone else is doing well....let us know!

I have days where I am slacking on my water intake also. I am back to my coffee and green tea habits. I am taking solace in that Dr. Greger says coffee is super healthy as is tea lol.

I thought I was going into another stall myself, but the scale decided to move again after a couple of days at 170. It is mind blowing to be in the 160's. I can't remember exactly when the last time was, but it was at least 12-15 years ago. The fact that your clothes are still getting looser means you are burning off the inches?

I also would love to hear from everyone that hasn't posted an update in a while.

I'm jealous of your MAY 15th group great participation and check ins! I'm a may 3rd sleever... may I join you?!

Feeling great. Have been in a 3-week stake that has been playing mind games with me, just trying to stay positive and grateful of what the surgery has provided for me.

Awww hon! Welcome!!!!! You can come in here as you please and participate with us! ? As for the stall, I think I'm with you on that too, I just don't know my numbers, but I certainly feel it. After stresses of the last week and a half, I do believe it'll go away soon. Have hope hon, we just had our surgeries (doesn't feel like it though) and we're not done yet!

Great excuse!!!! I made myself get through 32oz of water today. Had 10 ounces of coffee this morning and about the same of cold brew coffee this afternoon. I think I did a-okay. I'll be trying for 48 oz of agua mañana!

Glad to have you here. We are all in this together?

Stalls are a pain, but we all have them. I think I lose for two weeks then stall for 2 weeks. But I have been losing more regularly since the last one. I don't know why.

I have been keeping a water bottle by my bed and I am making myself finish it before I get out of bed in the morning. It is helping me make up for what I don't drink during the day. I think I am only drinking 12oz of water, but I am still going by all fluids count. When you add it all up I am getting more than 48oz so I am calling it good lol.

I was indeed! I went to bed too early, causes me to wake up about 6ish or so. Ugh...lol

I might as well get used to it, school starts Tuesday and we all have to be out of the house by 7am...it'll be bedtime no later than 10pm for me now.

Hey Everyone! I have been busy the last few weeks but am still plugging away at this weight loss. I'm down 40 pounds I seem to be averaging about 2 pounds a week which I would say is good. I have had to cave and buy some new work clothes cuz I was literally swimming in my clothes lol I'm officially a size 10 in pants and a small in shirts! I haven't been a 10 in ages! I'm finally feeling better and will start the gym back up tomorrow! Enjoy Labor Day tomorrow everyone!
