I am having some of the same issues. I work out every other day w/ cardio and weights. I am super careful of what I eat about 90% of the time. I have felt ravenously hungry as of late. I think its stress/head hunger but still hard to control none the less. In the back of my mind I am worried that I will start to gain all my weight back. It really scares me. I have never been able to keep a steady weight for any length of time in my adult life. I was always going up or down. I might suggest having your body fat tested, that has been a good marker for me since I started the exercise. The gain in muscle weight will throw off the "scale weight". As (previously)overweight people we have not had to deal with "muscle weight" issues before. Muscle weighs more than fat, and thats a good thing. I just try to keep remindng myself of that. Remember to mind your protien levels. Building muscle requires fuel, no or low protien intake will cause your body to try and hold on to fat stores to protect itself from damage. Eat smart not less. Send me an email if you want to trade tips on exersise!

After the baby comes you can focus more on your weightloss.You will lose,I have been told that if you breast feed I will help lose the pregnancy weight. Breastfeeding is inconvienient but its good for you and the baby. If you decide not to breast feed I still think you will continue to lose. Good luck with the baby and the weightloss.

Congratulations, I appreciate that you have posted what has made you successful. WTG!!!

Stacy, let me start off by saying you are a beautiful lady. You have come a long way. I for one am not perfect and see myself as a food addict and always will be. Personally I take things one day at a time. If I get off track I try to uderstand why and how I feel afterwards and do better next time. I can not and will not mentally abuse myself for slip ups which led me to were I was a year ago. I have mini goals every day and allowances that I have worked out with my nutritionist. I do the basic as far as water, vitamins, protein first(always) and veggies and fruits. I too have been dealing with the same 2 lbs up and down for the last two months and just the other day I finally lost 2lbs. We still have a good 6 months of a "window" and I have read about people loosing up to 24 months. Don't be disappointed in yourself, just the fact that you made this life altering decission to have WLS makes you a winner! Take it day by day and enjoy the progress you have made so far. I myself have 78lbs. more to loose for my personal goal and pray that one day I will reach my goal. We are not perfect and only humans!!! Continued success>

Cheryl I think you are right on target since you started as a "lightweight" Congratulations on your success and I am sure that the 87.5lbs loss feels way over 100 lbs loss. Continued success!!!
