THE STALL IS GONE! BREAKTHROUGH ...

WELL, I'VE PASSED THE 2 MONTH TIME FRAME ... 61 DAYS TODAY. FYI ... FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NEW "LOSERS" OR ARE GOING TO HAVE YOUR SURGERY SOON ... THE BIG WORRY ARE THE "STALLS" ... YES, YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE ONE WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF SURGERY. JUST REMEMBER, THIS PROCESS IS A "LOSE & SHRINK" ONE. YOU'LL LOSE WEIGHT, THEN YOUR BODY WILL SHRINK & THIS WILL CONTINUE OVER & OVER. I COUNTED & OUT OF THE 1st 60 DAYS, I LOST WEIGHT EXACTLY HALF THE TIME (30 DAYS) & EITHER DIDN'T LOSE OR MY WEIGHT WOBBLED UP & DOWN 30 DAYS. MOST OF THE TIME I DIDN'T LOSE WAS IN AN 11-DAY & A 7-DAY & A 5-DAY STALL SO DO NOT, NOT, NOT WORRY WHEN YOU HIT THESE STALLS. YOU WILL BEGIN TO LOSE AGAIN ... YOU WON'T BE THE ONLY PERSON NOT TO LOSE WEIGHT AS A WLS PATIENT ... YOU WILL SUCCEED! GOD BLESS Y'ALL DAWN & NICK SW 279.80 CW 234.00 LOST - 45.80 GOAL = 125 - 118

Congratulations! You are right about the stalls...they will pass but they surely can be frustrating little boogers while they are here! I am happy for you! Leisa

YES THEY ARE ... MINE SEEM TO COME EVERY WEEK OR SO ... I LOSE WEIGHT FOR 5 DAYS OR SO & THEN NOTHING ... BUT OVERALL, THE WEIGHT STILL COMES OFF. ABOUT THE 3rd DAY, I'M SAYING NAUGHTY WORDS TO MY SCALES!!! OH YEAH ... ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF & WE HOPE TO SEE YOU WHILE YOU'RE DOWN HERE! BLESSINGS FOR 2006 DAWN & NICK

I feel like such a loser/not weight loss, but because I missed tonight. I feel terrible about missing. Work intereferred, and I tried to get done and get there, but I got home at 9, and that would have been like 9:30 to drive up there, so that means I would have miss it. I am soo sorry!! You are doing great! I know I had stalled around 7-8 weeks, so I know that is a common thing. Its because our bodies are finally trying to see what the heck is wrong with it, and what we are trying to do. I am sooo tired, and I have to do a wedding in the morning. Take care, and keep up the great work!!! Love ya, miss ya! I promise to be there next time I feel terrible!! Love ya, Deb
