I’ll check those out!! Oh I think my stall is ending... fingers crossed ? and I only need to lose another 18 lbs to weigh less than my husband ? 22 lbs till I break into the 100’s for the first time in 8 years!! And I got brave. I put on a shirt today that is super comfortable but honestly it’s been too small for ever. It fits perfectly. ? my pants are falling off. I’m going to have to wear a belt from now till I can afford clothes. I’m still afraid to go cloths shopping. Honestly I live in an area where the clothes are terrible at thrift shops. Honestly I don’t want to buy clothes from the 1820’s okay maybe they aren’t that old but most of the clothes at the thrift store are at least as old as I am if not older, and non in my size.

Isn’t it funny the excitement over weighing less than our better half’s? I’m currently only 9lbs heavier than my husband. I’ve never weighed less than him, because even when I was in much better shape, he was in much better shape, too.. ??

That’s awesome!! My daily weigh in is
Going down but I’m not counting it untill I’m down below 222. That’s where I stalled at then it inched up 3 lbs.... ugh. It’s at 222 today. I’m hoping tomorrow it’s around 221.

My 2 wk stall just ended. I’m down 7.9lbs. I’m so happy.

Woohoo!!! That’s amazing!!!! Congrats!!!!! How often were you weighing yourself??? And how long was your stall???? I’m in the middle of my first one :( but woop for you ???

@sassysleever76 thks! Every other day. Stall was for 2 weeks. I would go up n down. Thks again.

I also found out I was severely dehydrated and constipated. I took miralax and had the worse gas pains. I had to take an enema for relief. After that, pain went away and I was able to then the weight dropped. Dr said the stall was due to lack of fluids and constipation. So when I got home I started pushing the fluids down n he was right stall no more. He also told me to stay away from miralax n to try senokot and colace.

Those dreaded fluids boi...especially during the cycle awwwww

Yeah but now that I see how the weight dropped by drinking water I’m all in now. I’ve started marking my water bottle with times of the day so I can keep on track. I also drink bai n add Walmart brand crystal light to water. I love strawberry watermelon n raspberry lemonade flavors.

Ok anyone tried the Wegmans brand sugar free dark chocolate pudding. It’s to die for. It’s helping w my chocolate cravings.

Well I just ordered my 2nd order from Bariatric Pal store. First time was 2 days, everything nicely packed, arrived in perfect condition. And I ?the meltable B12, ordered another months worth. I have a horrid time ordering, I AM NOT A CHILD OF THE ELECTRONIC AGE,i am bicycles and tape recorders and knock knock jokes and almost everybody kept their clothes on. But between Monica, the sales professional at Bariatric Pal Store, my long-suffering Son and myself, we got her done and now I am getting updates on my email. It is working its way out of New York State, maybe Pennsylvania, wide state but I'm betting Wefnesday, Thursday it will be here! LIKE CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY IN SEPTEMBER!?????
