Stuck!!!

i think it will be a blast. i have asked a couple of friends if they are interested in taking the classes with me and they are excited also...but i am still going to do it by myself if they change their mind. i don't get on the board as much as i used to since it seems like i am never home anymore and only have time to check the board at work...but i was reflecting this morning that i can't believe we are almost at a year and that some of us have been chatting via the board for that amount of time. what a blessing this board and all of you are. better get to work..have a wonderful day! Kelly ps. i had some 9 month pictures taken and as soon as i have a free minute i am going to send one to the picture changing address....that picture is from 2 years ago....i can't believe how fat my face looks in old pictures....

HI Linda!! This post came at the perfect time!! I am dealing with this right now. Although I am bouncing around a little higher number (278-282) I am still bouncing!! I am back limiting my carbs and upping my water. The only carbs I get are from a daily orange. Good luck and remember you look GREAT!! Sarah G. -166

It's true! This is perfect timing and WOW did I need this! (I am a little jealous though that you are all weighing in so low((it's all relative I know)) but I guess I started higher). I am 9 months out, I have lost 170 pounds, I eat ONLY what I am supposed to in the correct amounts and I exercise 6 days a week for at least an hour. I know that things start to slow down as you get closer to goal and as you get further away from the surgery date. I know this and I still am SOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrated that I can hardly stand it. I am sitting on a plateau bigger than Mt. Rainier. I weigh 204 pounds and I have dreamed for years about being a hundred something person. This waiting is just making me crazy . Five lousy pounds... That's all I need to loose to get to a major party in my own head. I am normally pretty darn happy, thrilled and positive, but this is really getting to me. I called my dietician and she told me to increase my water intake and that she thinks this will move me along. So I am now spending my days running a path between my desk and the restroom. Good luck everyone with this stall in progress and don't let it get you down! Amy

Thanks you everybody for hitting me back on my post. You all gave me so much good advice to ponder over. Thanks again hope to moving on down the scales soon 291/180/160 -111 Linda

I was looking around this morning before starting my day and found your post. I'm guessing this is really common for where we are. I have been losing weight slower for the past couple of months but I think it's normal. I don't think our bodies can handle too much weight loss too fast. It really sucks though. I weigh 198. I started out at 330lbs. At first I lost weight really fast but these last 25 lbs have been really slow. My family always says even if I lose 10 lbs a month from now on I will reach my goal weight in about 4 to 5 months. (Which after being over 300 lbs for more than 5 years, it's really not that long to wait.) Hang in there. I wish you all great losses in the New Year.

Hello Linda Try Drinking More Water, Getting In more Protein, And Changing Your Excercise Routine or Doing "MORE" Excerise. I was In The Same Boat You Were Girlfriend You Just Have To Go Back To Basics And Most Definatley Watch The "CARBS" Keep Your Carb Intake Between 25-35 Grams Per Day. Remember everything that says LOW CARB isn't necessarily LOW CARB so you have to read all the labels. I know it tedious but you should get in the habit of doing Hope This Helps You (((HUGS))) Alicia 280/145 (5 pounds passed goal)
