That's happened to me before too. I don't know how or why. Just one of those weird computer things I know nothing about.
Have a great day,
Melissa

Unbelievable!! OK from now on when anyone asks how to jump start the weight loss I'm telling them to have their gall bladder removed. I'm calling my doctor now.
Congrats,

I have to share this...I went to the gym last night and after I took my shower last night and had my really sweaty workout I decided to hop on their scale (which is a "doctor's" scale) to see where I was at.
I had my gall bladder removed a month ago tomorrow and at that time I weighed 188. Well I weigh **************DRUMROLL PLEASE**********
168
That's right....I have dropped 20 lbs in a month since my GB surgery. This now leaves me 9 lbs from goal!!!
********9 LBS FROM GOAL*********** I never imagined that I'd be this close to goal.......
Now this "goal" is the weight I need to be at before I have any skin removed. I know I will continue to loose - and will loose even more after I have the skin removed....but MAN I'M HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to share!!

Hi Jeanne,
This does seem a little bit much. As for the icecream, it's ok once in a while, I do to, but try to cut out the cone. You do eat too many carbs (for me at least, I won't lose when I eat those many carbs.)
Cut out the banana, lots of carbs and sugars.,...try to eat berries, much healthier for you, and sweet. If you cut out the pretzels and the pop, you will also have an easier time losing.
You've done a wonderful job, and if you only need to lose a few more pounds try cutting out as many carbs as you can, especially the pretzels and bananas.
Do you like protein drinks? If so, have 1 for breakfast. It adds protein to your day, and like me, gives me energy for the whole day when I have one.

Lisa,
I know about the slow losses. I am lucky when I lose 5 pounds a month. It is really slow, but if you continue to use your tool, protein, protein, and water water, and exercise 30 minutes every day, you will continue to lose. Don't give up! You are doing so good!! I try to keep my calories from 800-1100 per day, and protein is usually 65-90 grams a day. Hope this helps you.

Hi Melissa,
I am 5'2 1/2" (have to have that 1/2") I was 5'3, but shrunk 1/2". My doc said that was normal because we lost weight, and lose fat from under our feet as well. I know it's getting harder to lose, it's hard.
I was 134, then went back up to 137-138 and kept hovering around there. I did so good yesterday, I had 2 protein shakes and 1 eg denver omelet, and 2 sugar free fudge bars and about 70 oz to drink. I am back down to 134 today, so I think this will work if I really try. Are you at goal yet? If not, try this plateu buster thing. (I am, but still having a few things not on the list , like carb countdown milk and my fudge pop)

I started at 302lbs. I'm between 182-184. I keep going back and forth. It's been this way for about a month..I'm going to start on the Atkins I guess. I want to reach 140. I'm a carb lover,salty chips etc. I know what I need to do. I work late and get up late so my meals are strange.
Today I had:
B at 1:00 pm: Banana and a 20oz sugar free mocha on the way to work.(I drink through out the first part of my day)
Lunch:A half a chicken breast with shake-n-bake on it,1/2 c of mashed pototes,1/2 c of green beans.
S: small piece of jerky and 2 sour dough pretzels. 12 oz diet pepsi.
Dinner: other half of the chicken breast ,1 tbs of mashed pototes,1 tbs green beans. (at work)
Dinner at home:3 pieces of bacon,1 egg(fried) 2 tbs of hashbrowns mixed with my egg.
S: 1 ice cream cone with Breyers SF (made with splenda) chocalate ice cream. 1/2 cup has 130 calories,10 grams fat,10g carb(4 grams net carbs)4g sugar. It is very good when you have a sweet craving.
I guess this is why I'm not losing..I eat to much?? Does it seem like this is to much?? Please be honest..
