I BELONG TO A SMALLER CLUB!

hey Girl! Only change your meds under your docs orders. I learned that the hard way. Even your sugar can effect your weight loss. So Dr. Pohl thinks it is the pills too? What did he suggest? You only lost 2 lbs since 4/15. I so know what that feels like!!!!!!! I had the same problem in my 2nd month. I went a whole month not losing. Then allof a sudden it just picked up. I think that is going to hapen for you too. Thik of it this way, you had the surgery. You WILL lose! It will be in your body's time and not yours but it WILL happen. You do not eat anythign like you used to. You body is in shock now. When it adjusts, watch out....you'll be dropping pounds like flies. Joanne

How wonderful. I weigh each day too. Good advice. Mary

Hi Mary!!!!! I think the best advice has been "give it time, it WILL happen". I knwo I am so impatient but my body decided it was going to show me who's boss. And when it stops for a while, it is still showing me who's boss. I'll have to remember that when the time comes though. Do me a favor. When I go on a plateau, remind me of my own words!!!!! Cause I'll whine like a baby! Joanne -52

Congratulations! I'm so glad for you; you had such a hard time at the beginning and I knew you were down sometimes. And I'm glad you started a "new club." Some of us may not need to get 100 pounds off and it's nice to belong somewhere...can I join? It's amazing isn't it? My clothes are literally falling off me and I've been selling them on e-bay (with great success by the way) and using the money to buy new things which is sooooo much fun that it's helping to keep me on track. I'll be 3 months out on 5/12 and I wanted to be down at least 50 pounds and I've made it! I see the doctor for my 3 month check up this Friday and I'm excited to see what her scale says!

Omigawsh Julia!! I almost didn't recognize you!! Awesome new pic!!!! Amanda -36

WooHoo Julia!!!!!!!!! 54 lbs is sooo great!!!!! Youc an join this club and the next one if you want! I lost another 2 lbs overnight. So I am offically in unchartered territory. I have never lost more than 50 before. I hve about 100 -115 to lose. depending on what looks good. I'd like to get below goal so when I gain back some, like everyone does, I will be where I want to be. Right now....-52 is soooo great!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy. Now I just need to see the inches come off. Joanne -52

I want to join the smaller club. I have lost about 56 pouns since 2/10. woo hoo. I have a bit of problem in that I compare my weight loss to others and that is redicoulous. In reality I have become more healthy and I am not longer Morbidly Obese. Just Obese for know, but hopefully by September I will just be Overweight. My BMI is more important then how much I have lost. I don't wiehg myself daily only once every 10 days. I was on a 3 week plateau and the daily weighing was making me crazy . Congrats to all members of a smaller club.

Hear Ye!!! Hear Ye!!!!! You are now an official member of the Smaller Club!!!! Congrats on your 56lbs!! Where do you find out what level you are on with your BMI? I don't know if I am morbidly obese or obese. Not that it matters but just a nice milestone to conquer. I hop on every day but I don't put much into it. If it says that I gained a pound or two, I kind of shrug it off. I don't let it get to me. Cause I know in a day or two things will change again. Joanne -52
