Lee, That's not a bad loss for three months but I know it can be frustrating when the scale doesn't move. Have you tried what they call the Protien Train? You drink your water; Keep Your carbs down around 20 (I stay under 30); exercise 30 min a day(I still don't like it so I'm lucky if I get 20 min a day); and Keep your intake down ( I try to keep between 500-800 a day). Find out what works best for you. I know it sounds like work but after a while it becomes natural. Hang in there you never know when the scale might give you a surprise. (I sometimes feel the are Mischevious little gremlins in there). (HUGS!)

Debbie, Congratulations on a great weight loss!! You must be doing the Happy Dance. Isn't it great crossing under that 200 mark on the scale. I just crossed under the 300 mark and can imagine how you must feel. Keep up the great work! (HUGS!)

Thanks for replying...I went to my doctor on Thursday, and she said that this pain is pretty common. She said that it most likely it's a small muscle tear. She also said that's it's nothing to worry over, but not to over do it in the gym. Since I have all of this new found engery, when I work out I want to go hard at it. I have to remember that my body is still healing internally from MAJOR surgery and I have ease my way into it.
