Weekly Weight Loss

Hi everyone, It's a new week. Starting weight:305 lbs Last weeks weight: 273 lbs this weeks weight: 267 lbs For a loss of 6 lbs I am still stuggling with protein. I just don't love it. I get one protein shake in a day and know I have to get another but just can not seem to force myself. Something to work on I guess. Shelley

I struggle with the protein shacks as well. Some days I dont even get in one. I really need to work harder on this also. I also forget to take my vitamins. I need a alarm for everything. Starting weight: 286lbs Last week: 250lbs todays weight 246lbs

Hi everyone! Surgery 9-17 Starting weight 236.9 Last weeks weight 215.1 This weeks weight 214.1 For a loss of 1 pound Total weight loss = 22.8 pounds I go to my PCP tomorrow I prefer dr scales over my home scale. I think my biggest challenge is exercise right now. I went on a tour of my local YMCA tonight and am pretty sure I am going to join. They have all the workout equipment for aerobics, cardio, and strength training as well as yoga classes, aerobic classes, spinning classes, and other classes. So I should be able to find a routine I like and it is only 2 or 3 miles from my house. Oh and no contract I can pay month to month. Gloria

Sugery date: 9-17 Starting weight: 301 Todays weight: 264 Total weight loss: 37 lbs. Thanks for asking!!!!!!!!1

I prefer my own scale since the frown upon getting naked in the Dr's office.

Haven't posted here yet....been on the Texas board alot..thought I would check this out since we all share the same surgery month! Surgery weight 344 Todays weight 320 Total lost 24 lbs. But have been in a stall for the last TWO WEEKS....arugh!

I feel that I am the slowest loser in the world! RNY date 9/10/07. Starting weight: 305 Last week's weight: 277 This week's weight: 277 Still on soft foods, and having a real problem with nausea. I forget to start out eating slow, and end up in the bathroom within 5 minutes. Am walking 20-30 minutes/day, and today I did a 1 mile workout video (only had to stop and rest a couple of times). I'm really frustrated with the slow progress the last 3 or 4 weeks.

I'm a combination of Mary and Lisa... I have been out on the TN board, but thought I would check out this board. I too have been in a stall (Lisa) and feel like I'm the slowest loser in the world (Mary). I'm glad to have read your posts, because it lets me know it's not just me! Starting weight: 246 (6-1-07) Surgery weight/date: 230 (9-4-07) Lowest: 196 (10-5-07) On the 5th of this month, I got all excited 'cause I had lost 50 pounds since June when I sought out my doctor. I have not lost ONE POUND since then!!!! I actually went up 3.5 pounds with my period on the 11th, thought that plus some would come off after that, but NO! It too****il Sunday for those 3.5 pounds to come off. Today I am 7 weeks out from surgery and SO hoped to be below 195 today. I had another 2 week stall last month and only dropped 4 pounds from that one. I sure hope I drop more when this one is over. Does anyone know what causes these stalls? ~ Tara

Hi I haven't lost a pound in 9 days and am wondering if you've received any helpful responses to what causes the weight loss stalls? Thanks!! Kati

Hi, My surgery date was 9/11/07. I am not moving along too fast either. Don't ru**** You have been eating fast all of your life. There is no hurry anymore. Try doing something while you are eating, like house cleaning or something to keep you from thinking about finishing your food already. I take a bite and busy myself with something, then I will go back and take another bite and keep doing that until I have ate enough. I have the same problem as well. How long can you possibly eat smooth creamy yogurt? You can't chew it, there is nothing to chew. I guess you just keep swishing it around your mouth for awhile and then swallow it. Ha Ha. I have a real problem with this as well. Keep your chin up and slow down a wee bit. Yours truly, Brenda NJ
