I never thought it would be me

[mxpxchik11 48]

I never thought I could or would be as successful as everyone I saw on this forum. The first few weeks post op I looked at people posting 100 pound weight-loss thinking if only that could be me! I have to say that it happens so slow and yet so fast! I am one of those people that loses weight every few weeks! 2-3 weeks with our losing weight then a 10 pound weight-loss, it’s so crazy! The biggest thing I take out of this is a new relationship with food that I hope to keep for a lifetime! So excited to see what the next year holds! Good luck to everyone on this journey. I don’t regret it for a second (except not doing it sooner!)

Look at you!! You did it! And you look fabulous!

We are super-close surgery twins!

Same height, same starting weight, and our surgeries were only 9 days apart! (And we're both down 100lbs!) Where have you been hiding?

I don’t know! I haven’t lost any weight in 3 weeks that’s why I did this post, to remind myself! This is getting harder, I just want to get the next 40 pounds off. But I know it will take time. Are you stalling at all?

I went to go look. I had two weeks that I lost no weight (week 5 and 13). So, depending on your definition, no, I really haven't stalled.

What I did realize is the first 6 months I only lost one pound one time. From 6 months until now, I've had 7 weeks where I've only lost one pound.

So the losses have dramatically slowed. I've been more hungry after 6 months, and there is less of me to burn calories. If I want to boost my losses back up, I need to cut back on the calories or start hitting the gym.

My ultimate goal is 30 or 40 more pounds, which will take a ridiculous amount of time at one pound a week.. so I've gotto get on the ball!
