Monday Morning Weigh Ins
UGH!!! sorry I haven't been on here in a while you guys - been way busy with finals coming up!!! but I'm so frustrated!! I looked back on older posts... and I know I've been in kind of a stahl but I checked and my last monday weigh in was on 4-9-07 and that was 207... the lowest the scale has read since then was 205 and it just keeps fluctuating between 205 and 210ish... I'm pushing my water and trying to work out a little more and trying to make good choices in what I eat etc. etc. etc. and I'm getting annoyed that I'm stuck in another stahl... and I was SO looking forward to breaking under 200#s!!! I started at 255, my highest weight before surgery and I'm stuck fluctuating around the 50lbs lost mark, which is AWESOME!!!! but my goal is to get down to 150 and I just feel like I'm not getting anywhere this month - I officially am not liking April!- and sorry if this is TMI but I have a bladder infection... could that have anything to do with it??? or maybe I'm not eating right or WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?! I am going to my surgeon's office tomorrow for my B12 injection and to get some more of my vitamins... maybe I'll see what my weight change has been since last month and ask about it then? I'm just getting a lil depressed and feel like a failure like I'm doing something wrong or I can do more to make the weight come off!!! 
Hi Sharon! Don't feel like a failure. Losing 50 lbs is not an easy task and you have managed to do so with out any problems. Our bodies go thru different phase with this weight loss thing and every so often the body rebels and slows the loss down a bit. But we all now have wonderful tools to help us be sucessful, so we know the weight is going to come off soon. I was not liking April either or March for that matter because of the slow loss (or at least that what I called it.) but I know I have not ever consistently lost 1-3 lbs a week in my life!! Last week, it seems like things got back on track and I am have better results. So I figure that my body can't not hold on the weight the way it had been and it is starting to come off again and in bigger increments. I also expect my body to back up and try to hold on to the weight again in a few weeks, but I am going to roll with the tide. Keep trying to make good food choices, exercise, eat my protein, and drink my water daily. Don't get discouraged and keep up the good work. We will see you reach onderland in no time! Glad you came out to post with us...and just in case you did not read some of the earlier posts, at least 3 ppl are right where you are..so its normal!! 
They are all so close to onederland but they have been hovering there for a week or two. I can't wait for you all to get there so you can tell me how wonderful onderland feels!!

Thanks for the encouragement!!! It really helps!! and I got my B12 this morning and was 207... I looked at my chart and the last time I went in for B12 which was March 22ndish I was 217 so I did still lose 10lbs last month which is about 2 1/2 lbs a week so I'm glad to have seen that... I just gotta realize that the further out from surgery we get, the slower the weight is gonna come off.... I'm still hangin in there though!
