How are you all doing?

Hi October 2007 friends :)

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing? I am feeling great, loving how I look physically. But ( of course there is a but) I have not been losing any weight (not more than a few pounds) in a few months. It's like I made it to a year, and stopped. I know it should have slowed down, but not this much. I will take some accountability and say that I have become a little comfortable with food/eating. Not that I am consuming a lot, or things I shouldn't per se, but comfortable. I almost forget that I had RNY!!! So, how are you all doing on the weight loss this far out? Still losing? Any advice? I still want to lose about another 25 pounds at least. I know I can, I just hope I can. Get what I mean? Anyway, hope you are all well.

I feel you on this. I've lost 109lbs and feel great but still want to get this last 28lbs off. I'm barely losing anymore and its aggravating. I'm also a little TOO comfortable with food. I still have to be careful with sugar. Its a weakness and it usually wins.

Well, I am glad that I am not alone in this battle. You and I, we are right in there with one another. Have been since the start. I haven't tried any sugar products. I have had products with low sugar content, but no sugary snacks. It is tough isn't it? I sometimes worry about my future. Hoping that I won't go back to those bad habits. I used to wonder how that could happen, know I am understanding. That being said, you are doing awesome, and you look great! Thanks for responding :) Talk again soon.

Mine has slowed down as well...I was on steriods in October and only lost 10lbs in 2 months...then all of the sudden I lost 5lbs this week alone...so it comes and it goes.  Honestly, as long as I keep losing I don't care if it's slow or not, I am just happy it's still coming off. 

I have lost 166lbs, and probably have another 20 lbs to lose and then plastics to take care of the last few.

I'm an October Baby too. Congrats to everyone that has dropped those pounds like they're hot!

To date I have lost about 135. I go up and down about 4lbs either way. I went from 284 to 150 in about 13 months. I'd like to lose another 6-8 lbs just to get to a normal BMI. Although a lot of my excess weight is loose skin in my thighs so I'm not sure how much more I can drop without getting that removed. I think if I kick up the exercise and kick out the crap food I'll be rockin' the 140's in 2009. Hallalejuer!

I have lost 115 and then hit a brick wall. Flucuate 5-7 lbs a month.....happy to be healthy!

I am so glad to find and read your post!  I have had a great year with my band and now I am at a stand still with my weightloss, however.....I can still eat most anything and know that my food choices are not as strick as they were at first.  I just want to get back on track and get this last 25 lbs off!!

Guess I need to start a food log and get back to basics!  Congrats to everyone on a good year.

Hi Everyone, I am too slowed down on weight loss, but I lost alot of weight at the beginning, I was 400.5 pounds and now currently 197 pounds so I have lost 203 pounds and I am very happy with that.  But I too have been confortable with food, but i also dump so no sugar or fat for me...Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas.

WOW - you must feel amazing! What a success you are. Congratulations.  Wow.

just found this post...seems like once I hit my 1 year mark I had lost my 115 pounds and been going up and down 2-3 pounds since. I am WAY comfortable eating, even with some candy and things I know I shouldn't have, but it seems like I have found that I can eat 1 cookie or 5-6 peanunt m&m's, stuff like that. I don't think I will gain a bunch but I know it's certainly not helping me lose that last 15-20 pounds that I want. Plus I haven't been exercising. Our summer was completely kaotic with my daughters sports and we go out of the habit of going to the gym and haven't been able to get back. My husband is thinking about doing the surgery himself in a few months probably and I think that will really help me stay focused and eat the right things, plus we won't have the crap in the house because he can't have it.
