So I guess this is more of a question than a post but for those who are post op and at goal--how long did it take to get the last ten pounds off???? I feel like it is taking forever!! LOL I know our bodies stabilize and weight loss slows down after time..but man oh man--would I just jump for joy to see the last ten go and reach my ultimate goal!!! (And then of course I will be off to get my celebratory Tattoo!!!!)

So what are some tips, advice, new excersises you can send my way to help me kick start this loss? I am pretty much hitting my protein everyday--getting in vitamins, fluids, walking etc...just got the Billy Blanks Boot Camp Tae Bo dvds...sooo any other ideas??

Thanx!!!
Much luv!
Laura

Ah boy! I am stuck with the last 20 (before getting pregnant of course) - I'd say mix up your diet, up your exercise and fluids and it shouldn't be a problem!

GOod luck! And remember that the number is just a goal - your body might be at the "ideal" weight for you.

Liz--
I know my body may just be saying "I like it here!" but I would so love to see the "ideal" weight as I have never reached a weight loss goal like this before in my lifetime of dieting!!!!

You look amazing and that wee one is so lucky because you are going to be the best mom ever!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tips!!! I am def going to start changing up my foods and my excersise routine!!

Much luv!!

Laura,
I posed this question to Dr. P when I saw her monday and she did warn me that excess skin weighs a lot and the extra 10-15lbs that I have been struggling to lose may just be the skin BUT she also told me that my tool still works so if I wanted to I could lose potentially the 10-15lbs. I agree with what Liz said change up your foods and excercise. Drink lots of fluids but Dahlin' you look wonderful. I also am struggling but I don't pay much mind to the BMI chart because that is just a ridiculous number and I looked like death wormed over when I reached my "ideal" BMI.

Good Luck Honey you are truly an inspiration to me!!

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!

Shilpa--
Awww...no you are an inspiration to me!!!!!!!! I actually was thinking that it might be an excess skin problem as my tummy is a bit saggy..but overall not too bad with the excess i think..lol...I am def gonna try changing up my routines and see what that brings...

There are times though when I look at myself and still see the fluffier version of me and it terrifies me to no end..I have never seen a weight loss goal to the end before in all my years of dieting and I am so close now..I just want to suceed at this last hurdle and then maintain...

But I am going to try myhardest to reach the goal weight in the next few months!!!

Keep inspiring us Shilpa because YOU are amazing!!!

Much luv!!
Laura
