Rats.

I only lost a pound this week. I know I know, everyone stalls. But this is my first one. I'm pretty bummed over it.

Hi Micheal, My name is Marie I see that you post often and I'm pretty new to this one. But I see you had your surgery one day before me. I was just wondering how often do you weigh yourself? Have you dumped? What kind of exersize program are you on?

Well... I weigh my self every monday... and only on Monday. The reason is that I had my surgery on Monday, and I have a spreadsheet I keep all my data in about weight loss, and it is set up on a weekly basis. You can take a peek at http://homepage.mac.com/totalriot13/WLS112205.htm and see how it works. As for dumping... oh yea. I dump. Several times a week. Eat to fast, dump. I was a scarfer pre-op and the slow eating gets to me sometimes. As for exercise, I rotate between the elliptical, the bike and swimming. With some free weights at least twice a week.

Hi Michael, I to have stalled. Last week I was so bummed out that I didn't post my weekly weigh in. Then I popped in here over the last couple of days just to relift my spirts. Just keep reminding yourself of all the goal that you have already reached. donna

Michael, For 8-10 consecutive days a month, I stall. It happens every month, the funny thing is that during those 8-10 days (which I think is starting again) my clothes get bigger. So even though my weight stays the same, I'm losing inches. Don't get me wrong, I still **** and moan when the scale doesn't move, cause like all of us I want to get to goal. But the body has to catch up. You've done great, don't get discouraged. Micha

My docs theory is your body is preparing to dump a load of weight again. Seems true so far for me a few weeks ago i only lost 1 lb then i dropped almost ten the next week and a half. Keep plugging away this has been a slow week for me again. I finally lost a lb this am hopefully its moving down again. Tammy O

Mike I think I have it figured out. Some of the lb's are just harder to burn. I figure they must have come from the really really good tasting speciality item we ate. So some of the stuff just melts away, but then you get one of those stubborn lb's. Well as long as you aren't going up in weight, tada you win. hehe
