I'm Not Stressing-Week Two

Hi Everyone: It's been 31 weeks since my surgery and for the second week in a row I have not loss any weight. The good news is that I have not gained anything either. Now before all you "experts" come out of the woodwork to impart your "expertise", please realize that I'm well aware that plateaus will happen in every weight loss journey. Please note the title of my post. I'M NOT STRESSING. In 31 weeks I have lost 158 pounds and 18 inches off my waist. In 10 previous years of weight loss attempts results like this has never happened. I am 10 pounds below my goal of 225 pounds and could not be healthier and happier for a 47 year old man. I can shop where I want and choose from a wide selection of clothing that was a pipe dream just a year ago. I can sit in a regular chair and have room to spare, I can sit in a booth in a restaurant with plenty of room to spare, I can sit in a coach airplane seat and fasten the seat belt and actually have to tighten it. I'm not looking to be rail thin because I was never rail thin. I'm maintaining my routine of Protein, Water and Exercise. In fact, the guys at the gym are very impressed with my progress in my weight training program. Not bad for a old guy. I feel great in the body I'm in and I know that the weight loss is slowing down. That's why I"M NOT STRESSING. Till next time Jesse 373/215/-158

Congratulation Jesse your doing awesome in my book Sharon 278/268.6/183.5/???

Jesse, I'm no expert, but it sure sounds like you're doing great! Congrats on how far you've come -- and on your no-stress approach to the current plateau! Jen.

Jesse- You are doing so great! 158 pounds...WoW! You'll make it to goal in no time. And you have the formula down with all the exercise, protein and water...and the most impressive part is that you are feeling good too! Two weeks isn't too bad...your body's just "resting" and getting ready for those last 10 pounds to melt off! Enjoy! Steph
