Onederland....mixed emotions

I finally made it under 200lbs!! I don't ever recall a time in my life when I was under 200. I'm guessing I was about 10. I actually called my old Pediatrician to see if they still had my old growth chart so I could check it out for myself! Although I'm excited it doesn't feel as good as I thought it would. I have worked my ass off, (literally, lol) I'm not even losing 5 lbs a month anymore. I work out 4-5 days a week, have a person trainer, eat about 1000-1200 cals, 100-120g of protein and get all my water and vitamins in. People tell me I shouldn't lose anymore weight and that makes me super uncomfortable. I'm 5'9 and 199#, I still have a way to go! I feel like I have to keep losing just to prove to everyone else that I can lose more,  which is ridiculous!

Congradulations on your weightloss...I hope to see you on the losers bench very soon..My upcoming surgery date is Oct.15. It sounds like your doing a great job, and I hope I can keep a regimen as good as yours seems to be,

Congrats at getting down under 200lbs. I'm looking forward to that! I hear once you get to your point out it starts to get harder to lose! But it will come off! Well that's what I hear, like 5lbs at a time every couple weeks, but I'm sure everyone is different! Good luck with getting it off! YOU CAN DO IT!

CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL YOUR SUCCESS. DO THIS FOR YOURSELF NO ONE ELSE. IT'S YOUR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS THAT MATTERS DON'T ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO PREJUDGE OR EVEN JUDGE ANYTHING YOU MAY BE DOING. WHEN YOU FEEL IT'S RIGHT YOU WILL KNOW. BUT ONCE YOU START ALLOWING OTHER INDIVIDUALS OPINIONS IN IT STARTS PLAYING GAMES WITH YOUR HEAD. KEEP UP ALL YOUR SUCCESS AND ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY.

Keep it going girl, congratulations!

If you chart your goals on the possible weight loss calculator in the information about surgery section you'll see that after the first few months the anticipated loss drops to just about 5 lbs a month.  Now that you're lighter you'll have to up the intensity on the exerise to keep it going. 

As a so called 'lightweight' I've had to do two sessions since the start.  I worked out once a day pre op, upped to twice a day post op and starting this week I'm adding a third session making it about two hours a day until I hit maintenance.  It sucks but I want to drop nine pounds a month over the next three months.   This is the only way I have a prayer of making it happen. 

Congrats on your loss!!  You are doing great!!
