Last 33 pounds
Hello all you May-babies! I don't know about the rest of you, but I just need to vent about the last 33 lbs not wanting to leave! I have been doing everything right; exercise, drinking plenty of fluids and protein, protein, protein. I can not seem to get my body to budge this last 33 poinds of fat off my body! I want to get to a personal goal of 134 pounds and have not lost anything in a month. I keep vascilaating between the same gain of one pound, lose a pound momentum my body is seeming to go through. After all of the medical issues and complications I have suffered it would be nice to actually get to where I wanted to be. I seem to be getting depressed thinking about it and am just wondering where everyone else is at, at this point, especially people that had complications.
Thanks for the input.
I still have 67 pounds to go. I finally lost 3 pounds this last week, after not losing anything since October!!!!!!
I started walking! It took about three weeks...but, it finally caught up...I hope. Can't wait till I weigh in on Saturday, to see if it is still working!!
Good luck...these last pounds are the hardest!! Ughhh....

Boy do I know how you feel. I should be under 150 but I can't get under 175. I will be at (-)100 in a little while ( I have 2 lbs to go to have a 100 lb lose) but it took me 3 months to lose enough to get to this point. I was very discouraged for a while but it slowly started up again. Maybe I'm thinking and worrying about it too much and it's playing on my mind. But yes I do know how that feels.

I completely understand. I did not have any complications (at least not yet, thank god), but these last 5 months have been really slow losing. I lost a good amount of weight for Feb-March (about 9 pounds), but since march I haven't lost anything. I still have 18 pounds to get to goal and these last few pounds are hanging on. I have also been exercising 4-5 times a week, eating protein, protein and protein, and I even upped my fluids. I am gettin gin 75-80 oz of fluids (which is good because until February, I was only able to get in 40-50 oz a day. Anyway, I upped my protein to 70-90 grams a day, and it helped, but not lately. These are the last few pounds that we actually have to work at. My doctor said that what I lost the first 6-8 months was from the surgery, and rest to geto to goal will be to work at it on our own. Alot of people are in the same boat. You'll see, you're not the only one. Dont get depressed over it, it isn't worth it!!! Keep working at it!!! Smile, and think positive.

Hi Everyone-Yep, I'm there too! I'd like to get down to 150 lbs. but
I'm wondering if that's ever gonna happen! I hover between 180-185.
Up, down, up, down. My appetite is up there too! Sometimes, I just
want to eat all the time! I'm keeping it in check for the most part-but
sometimes it gets the better of me. It depresses me too. Luckily, I
didn't have any complications, and I thank God for that, but I'm also
wondering if maybe I shouldn't just try to accept myself at this weight
in the event that this is all I'm going to lose. My nutritionist did say
when I saw her the last time back in December, that I would only lose
about 5 lbs. a month tops now, and it has been about that, give or take
a couple of pounds, but it sure is discouraging when you are used to
losing so quickly. Congrats to all of u****ting our 1 year anniversary,
as I will be on May 13 of this year!
continued good luck and success to all!!!!!!! Linda

Honey - I SO feel ya! I've lost 152 leaving 48 to go!!! The last 48 have been at home on my hips for so long they're taking their sweet time packing and not wanting to move OUT! I'm trying to get ther paitently....the only way i'm able to deal is to NOT weight but once a month! (Yeah - that's HARD to do!)
it'll go away.....I'm just IMPAITENT!
