Wednesday Morning

Good morning to all. I hope people are feeling okay this morning. I am exhausted, after a night of the dogs getting me up to go out. Then the silly dogs would sit on the back porch. They ended up in their kennel/house in the kitchen after a couple times of that. I am hitting a slump in weight loss for right now. I was losing 1-2 pounds a day, but I guess everyone has a couple bad days. I heard on an email list that alot of people hit a little plataeu around three weeks. Is that true here? I know I just need to keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and it will keep coming off. Today is my son's Christmas presentation at school. I am looking forward to going to see it. Linda Vicory

Good morning to everyone. I hope you all have a great day!! Linda, On your question. You will hit plataeus often. You body has to play catchup with the weight you have lost so even though you may not be loosing any weight you could be loosing inches. I am 6 mos out today and I am loosing about 1-2 lbs a week. I only have about 50lbs to my goal weight. Have a great time at your sons Christmas program I remember when my kids were at that age its a wonderful time. Bonnie

Linda, I like to consider those pauses as times that the body is catching up & taking a breath. My first pause was when I was only 2 weeks post-op. A true plataeu lasts a minimum of 6 weeks. You have a while to go before you experience that. lol. Have fun at the Christmas presentation!! Sherri

You're doing fine. You can't lose 1-2 pounds everyday. It will slow. I have been in a slump myself, so I can relate.
