ROLLING BACK TO THE OLD TIMES

well, today hasn't been good, im back to old eating habits today, i have not lost any weight in about 2 weeks , so naturally i go back to old eating habits, in a way , i guess its sort of giving up.. I go to the surgeon tommorrow, ive lost 70lbs in 3 months, but for two weeks nothing, i guess , im impatient, i hope this rollercoaster stops, sorry so negative today, but its not all positive....Rhonda 293/225/130?

It gets tough for sure, Rhonda, but a two-week stall is often reported. Your body is just adjusting to the rapid weight loss. Many people will lose in bunches and others will lose a steady amount. At this point in your recovery, you might also be losing inches and not on the scale. There's so many ways to gauge success that are not on the scale. I hope you can find some of them to hold on to. All my best, Frances

Hang in there hon, you'll make it... plateus happen... just keep up on the water and protein... and don't stress yourself over "giving in" since we have to all expect there will be times when we just can't stay on the right track... just don't beat yourself up over it too much... clean slate, new day... start over and you'll be ok Kat

thanx Kat, and Francis, its so easy to fall back to my old self. I'll see what the surgeon has to say.. Thank ya'll for your support.rhonda

Hey Rhonda it's just a plateau it will pass. What time is your appointment tomorrow? Wanna hit the track afterwards? They say carbs will help bust a plateau don't know how true that is though. Let me know what the doc says. Tina

yes, i would like to walk when get back, not sure what time, so i will call .i did hit 70lbs this morning, lost 2 more lbs, i ate like a pig yesterday,and didn't get sick, that is what is scary. I've been having alot of upper back,and chest pain, kinda of like soreness, it seems because i lost in my arms, shoulders, but stomach still big, might be pulling , im going to ask them today.. thanx for the encourgement, i don't want to go back to my old self. Rhonda

I get pains like that when I eat to much. Or something gets stuck. Hope its nothing, see ya later then. Tina

yea, i know that feeling to, but this is like pulled muscles everywhere, i think its because the majority of my weight is in my stomach, but i will see what they say today. rhonda
