Finally the scale moves on down!.......

Plateau's! Gosh! I hate them! I know we all do! Well, finally this morning my scale did a nose dive and said "179". That is a total loss of 90 lbs for me. YAHOO! I know I"ve been losing inches lately which is great too. I swear this morning when I was getting ready for work, I had to try on several different pants to find one I could stand to wear. Pants that I just wore last week looked awful on me today. How can that be?! I've spent so much money on work clothes and I'm trying to just get by with a few items, but I can't believe that in two months I've shrunk out of all my pants. I have been really into exercising everyday now. I walk almost 4 miles every night. It feels so great when I'm done. Of course, the 105 to 110 degree weather at night makes it tough but I will conquer! But I think it's the exercise that is making me drop these inches all of a sudden. Hope everybody is doing well!

Congrats! I'm so excited for you!....I'm doing the same thing....I've lost 75lbs and just recently have consistantly done my walking....I notice how much better I feel and like you have finally had the scale move. I just hope to keep it up.... Judy

Don't spend all that money on clothes, since we are just gonna grow out of it. I have been going (and never went pre-op) to thrift stores for my cloths. just yesterday I bought 1 pair of DKNY jeans for $2.00 (size 12-WOW) 1 pair of Liz Wear jeans for $2.00 and a pair of Gap Jeans for $1.50. I figure when I loose all my weight, then I will splurge on the clothes.

Char. We are twins!!!!!!!! I was about the same weight as you when I had my surgery and I am finally also at 179!!!!!!The scales are very very slow for me at times. I am probly averaging about less than 10 lbs a mnth now and its only been six mnths!!!! I see however that when I eat more I lose more which toallly blows my mind but as long as it keeps coming off I am good. I would love to make it to 130 but I am not sure that will happen. My healthy weight would be 130-150 I guess I will have to see but I was so glad to read someone else is relating to the scale staying on that dam 180!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems since Iwent below 200 it has been crawling but its going, I just want it gone already!!!!! Keep us posted and awesome work!!!!!!

Charlotte, I can understand! My scale had FINALLY dipped below 200!!!! I have been a slow loser and finally the scale decided to wiggle past 200. I don't know why but my body fought the last 4 pounds for a month! Good Luck! Barbie 281/199/170ish
