I thought since we seem to be a stall I thought we may could find a bright side to things and talk about inches lost. Have you taken measurments, lately? I did and I couldn't believe it!! I'd love to hear how everyone else is doing!!! I posted in my profile my stats and I have a few pictures in there too.

I lose "sizes" verrrrry slowly. I've lost 130 pounds: went from a 34w to a 28 pre-op (68 pounds), but only gone from a size 26-28 to a 24 (60 pounds) since July's RNY. My fat is very "fluffy." Large in volume but kinda light and mousse-like-- if that makes any sense. So at 240 pounds, I'm still wearing 26s...and I am 5'5". Annoying!

Oh wow - You have done fantastic with your weight loss! The mind games are terrible. It's how you feel and your health that counts. Not so much the "number" of weight or the "number" of sizes. I'm sure you feel so much better! I know I DO!

I have a chart of most of my measurements since surgery. It's at the bottom of my profile page. I began working with a personal trainer who took more measurements and I added those to my chart. In the last four months I've lost about 7 inches around my shoulders. I don't have that rounded look anymore....I actually have shoulders. I've also lost quite a few inches from my hips, they're disappearing. At my last measurement I had gained a 1/2 inch in my abs and my trainer has been killing me with ab crunches ever since!

I do not have my measurements on hand; However, I have gone from a size 26/28 pants and 3X shirts to size 16 pants and XL shirts. I believe I could wear smaller shirts if it were not for my HUGE arms! That's exciting! All together, I've lost 89 pounds - 25 prior to surger!

I measure myself once a month... that way when I get stuck in a stall I will still have something good to focus on. This is what I have done so far.... Waist - 63 down to a 50 = loss of 13" Bust - 64 down to a 55 = loss of 9" Upper Arm - 18.5 down to a 14 = loss of 4.5" Thigh - 35 down to 29 = loss of 6" Calf - 24 down to 20 = loss of 4" Neck - 14.5 down to 14 = loss of .5" So my total inches lost is...... 37" I have gone from a 34 to a size 26/28.... LOSS of 4 sizes I have gone from 395 pounds to 295.5 pounds... LOSS of 99.5 pounds
