Monday Weigh Ins

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late on the Monday weigh in...but I have a good excuse. I'll post more about it on a seperate thread, but I had a good loss this week. Down 3 lbs which is big for me.... HW 242 Last week 181 Current 178 Lori

As usual...a day late and a dollar short as the saying goes: Start Weight - 300 Last Week - 209.5 This Week - 206 Not sure what's up with a 3.5 pound loss - but I'll take it! Kerry

Hi all! My stall has broken, I think... Still not losing alot, but at least I am losing again! HW 299 SW 288 LW 232 CW 231

Cool beans Jennifer!! It does look like your stall has broken!! Sending some fairy dust for a big week this week!!

HW 327 SW 327 LW 246 CW 246 I give up I am calling the doctor. I can't believe I have only lost 2lbs this month. This stinks!!!!!!!!

Oh, Guinn...I am so sorry that things are at a near standstill for you right now. Is there anything that you have been able to identify as being a potential problem? The only way I know of to help you is to go over the standard questions... Do you track your intake? Are you keeping within your NUT/surgeon's intake limits? Are you exercising? Eating too many carbs? Did you lose big before the stall...could this just be your body trying to take a breather and catch up with itself? Are you feeling full/satisfied when you eat? Are you drinking with your meals? I wish that I could help you somehow...I would be upset, too, if I were going through this. Try to remember, though, that 81 pounds is a lot to lose in such a short time...perhaps it is "just" a standard stall. Please let us know what your surgeon says and in the meantime, keep your chin up! Your loss will start up again! ~Suz

Guinn, I know how you feel. I only lost 5 last month and have been at a total standstill for 3 weeks now. The scale is hinting at a 1 lb loss today, so I'm hoping it's moving again....but still...... Frustrating, isn't it? I see my doc and nut on Friday. I'm about 18 lbs high of where he wanted me to be right now, but at my 3 month I was about 18 lbs high as well....so I guess I'm right on target for me. Let us know what the doc says when you talk with him/her. And just press on!!! The weight WILL come off!!! Remember I'm right there with you, frustration and all! Margaret

Yes, I second what Steph said, take your measurements. Even if you aren't losing weight you could be losing inches. I had a 3 lbs gain 3 weeks ago and I felt like a failure. But then I started losing again. You will too hon!!!

Hey Guinn: ((HUGGS)) to you!! I want to ditto what Suz said and also ask if you are taking measurements...during my stalls, I usually lose a lot of inches..so even if the scales are not moving the way the should, something is shifting somewhere. Please keep us posted on what your doctor says, I really appreciate you posting today as well, cause it is hard to post when you don't loose or if you have a gain.. But when you post at times like those, you just can't imagine the number of ppl you are helping and letting us know we are not alone when we go thru the stalls. We are here to support you so hang in there and let us know if you need any thing!

WooHoo! The scale keeps moving. I am down 115 pounds. SW 367 CW 252 I am 78 pounds away from doc's goal and 93 pounds away from my own goal. Katy B
