I am soooooo sick of this long stall I've been in. Surgery was 8/29. I had already lost 24 pounds at that time. I lost a total of 110 by Jan 1st of this year. BUT, I have only lost 25 pounds since then! I lost a few the first week of Jan, but stalled the rest of the month. Then, I lost 11 pounds the first 9 days of Feb and stalled the rest of THAT month. I lost down to 276 by mid March. But, I've only lost one more pound since then (almost a month now). I console myself with the fact that I have lost 46 inches since Jan 1st, despite only losing 25 pounds. BUT, I really, really, REALLY want to see that danged scale start moving again! LOL I have not even weighed myself since the middle of last week now as I am so disgusted with not losing. Maybe I'll get weighed on Monday or Weds and find that I've dropped into the 260s, but I'm sure not holding my breath on that hope! I started at 410 on July 13th and wore . I had surgery at 386 on 8/29. I lost my first 100 by Dec 22 (had made it a goal by Christmas). Then this danged stall started after New Year's. So, I'm now at 275 and my goal is 175. I'd be happy with anything that started with a ONE to tell you the truth--weight AND clothing sizes! So, I'd be happy to see like 195 and get into a size 18! I'm currently moving from 26s into 22/24s. I started out in size 36W, so that is a 6 pants size drop. I AM happy about that...don't get me wrong! But, I want to think that my honeymoon isn't over yet and I'm not going to lose just 6 or 8 pounds per month from here on out.... SO, how are the rest of you doing? How many pounds have you lost now total?? How many pounds since Jan 1st? How many inches have you lost??? Hugs, Lea 410/275/175?

I never even weigh anymore so I am not sure if I am loosing or gaining. I just go by my clothes, I know I have had to buy new boxers and I only have one pair of pants that will not fall off I still have to keep my hand in my pocket to keep them up some times. But today I wore shorts to work and I have not worn shorts in public in 10 years I bet. I feel pretty lol,, Just joking just cute But I have 2 bad weaknesses one is jolly ranchers which I use a lot at night because my mouth stays so dry the other is good old sweet tea. Being from Texas it is a must have for me. Most days I will forget to eat and have to stop and find something to eat or I get a bit shaky and start getting dizzy. I forgot to eat today and had to stop and eat a taco from Taco Bell. But it is good to see I am not the only one with weakness. Well good luck.

Funny someone should mention this. I do not have any back problems but I do however have a sore butt whenever I sit most of the time. My butt goes numb if I sit on any remotely hard surface and its extremely painful. Mind you my butt used to be twice this size and I am thinking that it is from the extra padding that I am now lacking. Does anyone else experience this numbness?

I have no idea what it is but I have it too! Mine is definitely not in my back though, just in my butt and I can actually feel bones! It hurts. When I have been in the car it is especially painful. Is it tailbone? When I was a child I hurt my tailbone sledding and I keep thinking maybe that is what hurts. Anyway, best of luck to you! I hope your butt (and mine) feels better!

Help does anyone else have lower back & Butt cheek soreness. I feel like i am sitting on bones and they are extremely painful.. some days i have sharp pains shooting going up my back when i get up from a sitting position. I have been sitting on pillows at home and inthe car but i am a teacher & i am sitting in hard chairs & i really dont want to carry a pillow around the classroom....Any help would be appreciated.....thanks Barbara
