Any 8/13ers out there?

Just wanting to see where everyone stands at this point. I've been on a major plateau and have only lost a few here and there. I need to go back to the basics to lose some more. Lisa 309/216/170 (but I'd just like to get under 200!)

Hi Lisa Well i'm not 8-13 but i'm 8-9 pretty close. I'm 5'8, I started out at 272 right before surgery. i'm 182 right now I have 22lb to go for my personal goal and 37 for dream goal!...I also was on a MAJOR plateau but it looks like i'm losing again, i just started drinking ALOT more water that seems to help. You look great!!!! whats your goal?? how tall are you? ALMA

I'm 5'5" and it just seems like my weight has shifted instead of coming off the last few months. I'm getting smaller on top and my legs and butt seem the same. Congratulations on your weight loss...you are doing excellent! My first goal is to lose 100 lbs. Then my second goal is to get under 200. When that's completed I'm hoping to get to around 170. I'm sure I'll want to go smaller when the time comes but for now that sounds wonderful! Lisa

Hi Lisa I also had surgery on Friday the 13th Freaked me out a little at first but I'm not a superstitious person and everything went perfectly so now I consider it my lucky day! I was on a plateau for a while, it did break but I'm losing VERY S L O W L Y now! I'm about 5'5 and I started out at 360 lbs. and when I weighed yesterday morning I was at 222 for a loss of 138 lbs. But I'm like you, I've gotten much smaller on top but it seems like this stomach isn't going anywhere! I've got to get my butt to the gym!! My latest wow moment is realizing that I'm only 7 lbs. away from the weight on my driver's license being correct and it wasn't even true when I put it on my permit when I was 15 which was 10 years ago! I mean I'm smaller than when I was 15! That just blows my mind! Okay, well I suppose I've rambled long enough! Shelley -138 360/222/150 ???

Wow! Congratulations! And I know what you mean about the Friday the 13th thing. I didn't even realize until someone told me right before my surgery and then I started to freak a little. I already am less than my driver's license weight and of course I had lied about it too. I can't wait to be under 190 because that's the weight I put on my drivers permit! Lisa

Well, to date I had lost 89 lbs.. I had been working out 3 times a week with a personal trainer. The weight was coming off all over except the belly. Just recently found out that I am 8 weeks pregnant. So far I have gained 3 lbs. I hope to not gain over 20 lbs.

Well congratulations!!! What a wonderful surprise. You'll have to keep us abreast about how things go. I want to start trying to get pregnant next year, so you'll have to inform us how it goes. Congratulations on your weight loss and on your pregnancy! Lisa

Hi Lisa, I have a daughter named Lissa also, sounds the same but as you can see I spelled it differently., pretty name I think. I too had my surgery that week on 8/12, I started at 319 now 206, down a total of 113lbs. I have not lost any weight in over 3 wks and I am starting to feel as if my hunger is coming back like it used to before surgery, not feeling full on the 3/4cup the Doc says that I can eat now. I do need to get in more water, only getting 35-40 ozs on most days. I am not sure if my hot tea counts, if it does I drink 2 cups a day of that also. Has anyone else had their night hunger come back? I am really feeling hungery most of the time anymore and I am using all my willpower and headgames I can think of. I am hoping that now that we can get out into the yard and do gardening, which I feel so much better at doing now will help to start more weight loss along with getting in more WATER. Sorry so long but you sound like you are doing all the right things so just keep up the great work!!!! 319/206/165
