Hi all, quick update, I am close to my 10^th month post-op.

I was VSG’d 03/10/17, HW: 405, SW: 385, CW: 230. My goal weight is 190.. It is very hard to shed last 40 lbs, it seems to be attached to my body LOL.. I am very thankful to this process; it is definitely a great tool. However, it is 50/50 we need to engage the other 50% and battle every day with our old bad habits. I am satisfied with my weight loss, but really wanted to lose more weight by now, I hit stalls 3 times, and they last for weeks.. I don’t even look at the scale, now is my enemy (LOL) , instead I rely on clothing and noticed I am losing size… I increased my workouts the last 4 months, I do 4-5 times a week (1.5-2 hrs), I split weight training and HIIT. Now I am working really hard on core workouts.. I hope I can meet my goal by March 1^st,

PS: pardon quality of photos.. as header says (quick update)

haring this few photos for now… Will post more in March and I hope I can see a difference. You always friend Carlos….

wow - what a transformation -- congrats on your progress -- you look great and happy. thanks for sharing about your stalls...for us newbies that can be helpful as I knew that if I hit one at week 3, it wasn't uncommon and that helped me to just be calm about it.

Keep up the great work and keep inspiring the rest of us.

Thanks @Jeannie49!! And yes.. stalls are like traffic.. you kind of plan and do your best to avoid them.. but you end up running into it.. whenever you hit a stall, increase your proteins, switch your diet and workouts a little bit, stop but stop looking at scale, stick to your food and keep moving.. that’s your body recovering.... best of luck in your journey..

[emoji119]love it
