Month 4 so much better
My 4th month is going soooo much better than my third month. I was fighting stalls almost all month in the 3rd month. I did manage to loose 12 lbs...but it was a struggle and I was disappointed to see my loss slowing that dramatically (I'd lost 20 in month 2).
BUT......Month 4 is going great. I still have 10 days till my 4 mo. anniversary and I have already lost 11 lbs. this month with considerably less "stall time." I'd set my goal for month 4 to loose another 12, thinking I wouldn't loose any more than I did in month 3 but I hope/ expect to pass that goal now. I wanted to be at -70 but now I'm thinking it is possible that I might even make -75 total on my 4 mo. anniversary.
Of course, I was sick in month 3 and missed about 1/2 the days of exercising (walking) but have made most of them this month. The only problem is that now that I'm loosing quicker again, my monthly cycle is "acting up" again....there is lots of info that the estrogen dumping into the system from the fat loss triggers menstral probs...oh well. Since I'm anemic (though feel completely fine), I will just make sure I get my iron.
I thought this might give some encouragement to some of the folks that have hit stalls.....it can get better!

Me and you had our surgery the same day and same place, and it seems our weight loss is just about the same. I just hit 65 pounds, but I was at a 3 week plateau. This month I have lost 8 pounds already, so month 4 is going well for me too. Hoping to hit 75 pounds by May, and that will make me at an even 200 pounds. good luck with your weight loss!
