TIme is flying...

I can not believe it has already been 9.5 months since my surgery.  I am down almost 160lbs. and I feel awesome.  I still have about 50 pounds to go!

How are other February 2010 WLS people doing?

Time certainly does fly! I was telling a friend of mine today that I will be 1 yr out soon.  I'm feeling great!  Lost 120 lbs and have 50lbs more to go before goal!  On the downside, my scale hasn't moved in a week, ugh! I hit that dreaded stall.

Congrats on your weight loss thus far!!

Congratulations to you too!! For the record...just one week is NOT a stall.  Put the scale away for a few days and give it a little rest.  Then, check it in about a week.  I only weigh once a week.  It has worked pretty well.  I have some weeks where I lose a 1/2 a pound...the next I lose 4!  It all works out.  Also, when I get slow on the scale I really focus on my protien and water.  It usually works!

Are you exercising any?  I have not done much in the past couple of weeks.  I need to get on the ball with things.  I do have a 5k coming up this weekend though.

Thank you for responding.  Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the reality check, LOL!  I keep thinking my scale is broken.  I'm just going to take up a hobby other than scale hopping !!  I excercise 4x week but haven't been dilligent with my water intake.. I'll take your advice and work on getting in the recommended amount.  I promise I will not get on the scale for 3 weeks!!

Good luck in the 5k!!

Yeah time does fly! I have 33 pounds left and it's been torturous! I cannot wait till goal! I have slacked a bit on water and excercise so I need to get movin! But damn is it cold here in Utah! Any luck since the stall? And how did you guys do during the holidays?

The scale is moving again (not fast enough, LOL) but it's moving.  I am about 43/44 lbs from goal and I would like to get there by the end of April - that's seems reachable?! 

The holidays were easy enough to manage.  I ate like I did before, no surprises or testing my pouch.  I've joined the Y and not only is it fun but I love that they have tons of fitness classes.  I try to get a good workout in 4x a week, if not I walk 30 minutes on my treadmill.
