Weigh in... how much have u lost?



Recommended Posts

As of yesterday I'm 62lbs. down. Unfortunately, that has happened without any exercise. I'm trying to get back into the grove now that I'm less self conscious about myself. Hopefully the exercise will speed up the weightloss. All of these 80-100 lb losses are motivating! Great job everyone!

I hate to say it. But last night I had a fluke, I went out to dinner with husband and friends and was able to drink, eat and be merry like the old days. Maybe I didn't eat at much as I used to or maybe I did. I don't know but it felt like a picnic. you didn't hear a word from me while I was eating.

Here's the bad news - up 3.5 lbs this morning. Won't be doing thisd again even if I can.

Have to be very careful at Superbowl party tomorrow with all the goodies.

Good luck to all of us.

I bet you're retaining some Water from the drinks. You might have gained a pound or two but I'm not sure it's possible to gain almost 4lbs overnight! Don't be too hard on yourself...we all have days/nights like that.

I was banded on 5/19 and have lost 45 pounds. It looks like I'm a slow loser compared to some others on this thread. I take karate and go 3-4x/week - it's a crazy workout and i sweat ALOT! I'm eating anywhere from 1350-1700 calories - varying day to day.

Can you all tell me what your calorie intake is and what your typical daily diet is? I'm getting frustrated and wondering what is up with me.

I'm right there with you. Same loss and working my butt off!!

I am going to the gym 6 days per week. Doing 45 minutes of cardio and 25 minutes of strength training.

My diet consists of 50-60g's of Protein, legumes, high Fiber Cereal (I munch on this for snack). I have definitely changed my eating habits for the better and I expressed my frustration to my doctor.

I made an appt. with a nutritionist to fine tune the nutrition some more.

I have been a slow loser all my life. In fact whenever I have gotten to this point in the past, I have always relapsed and started gaining again...more every time. I am determined to get past this "hump".

On the bright side, I have always shown a loss everytime that I have gone to the doctor, I have improved on my bad habits, I feel that the weight is gone forever.....

Keep plugging along. You owe it to yourself!!!

Thanks for the reply....I guess we just have to keep plugging along and not get discouraged. This is the point in past diets when i would go back to my old habits as well...So we have to look at all that we've accomplished and be grateful.

Going to karate class is a few minutes!

Thanks!

I try to stay around 1300 cals with at least 60g of Protein per day. Do you change up your workouts at least every 6 weeks?? I have been reading some research that says you need to change things up every 4-6 weeks or you body gets used to it. I have posted in other threads that I am doing ChaLean Exteme... It is a ninety day circuit training program similar to P90X...It really works, I am gaining muscle and burning fat.:cursing:

104 lbs as of today!!!

I am doing Power 90 which is by Tony Horton who does P90X, it is what he did before P90X and not as extreme. I am noticing great results and hope to maybe do P90X after this 90 days is over. I am just now going into week 4 though so it's a ways off.

I am losing slow compared to a lot of people. I try to stay around 1,200 calories. I do really well at sticking to 60 grams of Protein, then vegatables and then carbs. I started doing Turbo Jam the 20th of January and it is helping. I have lost 4 pounds since I started. I have lost a total of 53 pounds.

Finally!!!! I've been at the same weight for weeks. Lost 3lbs as of this morning!! Gone forever:biggrin:

Hey Ladies... the workouts you guys have been mentioning above (power 90, P90x, Turbo Jam, etc...) are these DvD, books or classes you attend? I need to have a better excerise plan. I am slowing down and colories alone are not doing it for me anymore. I really struggled to lose these last 3 pounds.

Congrats on the loss!!! The Power 90 and P90X are DVD's and are available at www.beachbody.com they are the only 2 I am familiar with also P90X is sold on QVC. P90X is much more intense and more expensive but is a series of about 12 DVDs. Power 90 is cheaper and a series of 2 DVD's. Though Power 90 is a DVD I do it up at my rec center. It started out just 2 of us doing it and now 3 others have joined us and none of us have room in our living rooms for that many. So the rec center lets us use a TV and the aerobic room when there is no class going on. NOw folks are seeing us iin there and interested in joining us as well. Though it's not a 'sanctioned' class, it just started out as 2 friends working out together. But it's neat to know we've inspired others.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
