Topic: RE: Curious...
Hi, it looks like we are about at the same place. I started at 255. Had surgery July 30th and I'm down to 177.5 pounds now. So I've lost 77.5 and have 32.5 left to go to make my 145 goal. I'm 5'3". I too have noticed a drastic change, well more like a stall for sure the past month (Dec) and really since the end of November. I'm starting to see the scale move a little more this past week. So hopefully we are all at the end of our stalls and we'll see the scale moving again. I'm fitting into size 10's and 12's non-stretch jeans! I'm just thrilled. I was truly beginning to wonder if this was it for the weight loss. Maybe I was meant to be this size only... I do have 2 small children that I am very active with, but I do not have a true exercise program. Which I really should. I just don't have a slot of time to fit it in.

I started out at 263 and am currently in the 180's for a loss of around 80. You sound about average to me too. Congrats on your loss so far, keep up the loosing!

I always listed mine as 180, even when I was in the 270's. Almost to that weight again, only approx. 5-10 lbs away! Woo-Hoo Me!

Got what I wanted this year:
July: Surgery
October: Houseboat
November: 17th Wedding Anniversary
December: Met my X-mas goal of 75 lb loss early and treated myself to a haircut and received promotion at work!
Only thing left is some sweats or sweaters, I'M FREEZING! Guess there's not enough fat layers left to keep me warm.
Merry X-mas everyone!

Thanks for your response! It looks like I'm right there with everybody else, that makes me feel better. I was starting to worry thinking that I was eating too much or not exercising enough! I guess it's just part of the process, there are times when it's fast and you see it coming off every day and times where you just stop!
Congratulations on your progress, 95 lbs is great!
Thanks!

Look for previous posts "Weekly Weigh in" or "Monday Weigh ins" We've all been putting our progress there. I think you're doing great and it appears to be average.
I'm in a bit of a stall. The scale is kind of bouncing back and forth during the week. I know I should stay off it. I think this is just a stage I'm in, Most people go through it one time or another.
I've lost 78 since surgery and on that day I was 295. I lost an additional 17 before surgery which was May 07 so I count it definitely. It is a total of 95 lbs in 7 months.

Topic: RE: Hair Loss- make it stop
Ditto to all of those that have replied to your post. I did check with my doctor when I went for my 3 months check up because mine started falling out soon after my surgery. He said that this is normal for the first 9 months after surgery.. so needless to say I'm counting the days! I have to say though, I've started taking more protein trying to speed up my weight loss because it is slowing down, but eversince I increased my protein intake, the hair loss is not as bad. I still see my hair everywhere (I hate it), but it has gotten better. Good luck!
