Had my six month Nut visit yesterday

Tama was pleased because I gained two more pounds of muscle and lost another 43 pounds of fat since my last visit.  My total body fat % is only 31 percent now. I told her about not losing any weight for six weeks and she said that happens to a lot of people.  I also told her that I have really had to up my exercise to get the scale moving again, so the work has begun.  For some the honeymoon period is over at six months and I am one of them. 

It's okay, I'll do what I have to do to have a "normal" life.  I don't want to starve or feel like I am on a diet so I'll just have to do the exercise. All in all I have lost 43% of my excess weight (since I am supposed to weigh 125 pounds... HAHAHAHA). She said from 6-9 months they like to see a 50% loss so I have some work to do in the next couple of months.

My goal is to lose another 65 pounds and she thinks that is attainable if I keep up the exercise.  So here's to losing some more poundage!

I've found it more difficult to stay focused now that the weight loss has stopped/slowed.  That's why we had to work on those healthy habits pre-op.   Sounds like you know what you have to do and you've made some AWESOME progress so far!  Keep it up!  You can do it!!!!!!!!!  (BTW...how tall are you?    I am hovering around 125-126---most days, haha---- and I am 5'2")

Good luck!  You CAN do it!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I am five foot five inches.  I think 125 sounds rediculous, but hey I'm not a doctor.  My goal is 175 pounds, which from 360 is a big step!!

your doing so great, and your dedication to exercise is truely an inspiration.  Keep up the wonderful work

That is awesome Kelly 31% body fat is incredible.  You go girl.  Keep up the good work!!!

Congratulations on your visit. You have done an awesome job. Perhaps I can make the January meeting and see you in person. It's been so long since I've seen you.

kelly, that is great. 31% body fat is a great improvement. Plus you gained muscle and thats so great!  thanks for the post it helps me realize that the weight loss ride will come to a stop at some point and we have to have made drastic life changes that stick,  to stay thin.
