First put the scale away - its not going to help at this point - you're only 8 weeks out and have lost 70 lbs? That's almost 10 lbs a week! You've lost an awful lot really fast, so your body needs to catch up. Don't change your eating too much right now - you're still early out and your body will catch up and you'll start dropping again.

Tanya,

Hide the scale in the deepest darkest closet that you have.  70 lbs in 8 weeks is terrific.  Your body needs to catch up.  My GBS put it best. the only way to lose 185 lbs. over night is to divorce him.

Hang in there, you will start losing real soon.  Take your measurements, that will make you feel better.

Tanya,

Girlfriend, stalls are a way of our bodies way of saying, hold on there, whatcha doing to me. . .  they come and they go, it's part of the landscape of post-WLS living and I'd say and you recognized it yourself,  you've done incredible losing 70 lbs in 8 weeks. . .  so just keep doing what you were doing, if you live by the rules you were given, you will lose the weight!

Hugs, Laureen


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

Not Shabby?  I'd say it's freaking amazing!!  Congrats to you!!  Just keep doing what your doing and I am sure you will be fine, like Laureen said, your body is just adjusting and you will pick up again.  Good luck on your journey!!

Wow.  I'm a slacker.  I have only lost 40 something - that's FANTASTIC Tanya!  Enjoy the loss and you're body is just probably saying hold on one minute!

Good lord, it's taken me 6 months to lose 70 pounds. I'd say you are doing great! I suspect your stall may last awhile since you have lost so much so quickly. Hang in there, it will pass.
