6 months anniversary and very much a LOSER!
Yesterday 9-11-03 was 6 months for me. I have lost 70 pounds and gone from a 26 to a 16 petite! The weight is slow coming off but I have few problems. I can eat almost anything except sweets. I still do not drink soda and have to be careful not to overeat. I have lots of saggy skin and am losing my hair, but I feel great and walk every day 2-3 miles. No more back aches (I have lost 10.5 inches off of my bust). I need to get a plan to lose inches off of my waist. It is large in porportion to the rest of my body. Hoping to lose another 40 pounds before my 1 year anniversary in March.
Laura- I was so glad to see your post. Sept. 17 will be my 6 months. As of thursday Sept. 11 I was down 71 lbs. Today I got on the scales and was up 3 1/2 lbs. I am losing slow like you and I really get so discouraged when I see how some people have lost 100 + at 6 mo. For about the last 2 1/2 weeks I will lose a lb then gain it back- I do not know what is going on. I exercise and I think I am eating right- sometimes I wonder if I ame eating enough. I can eat anything- even sweets- don't eat them much- I really don't like to eat meat or chicken-
Has anyone else hit this plateau- I am so scared that I am not going to lose any more weight!!! I have a friend that had the surger 1 month ago and she is already down 35 lbs- she has almost caught up with me.
