240 today, was so happy to get out of the 250's

Month 2 really sucked for me, I know this is not a race but was expecting to lose more then 11 lbs. I hit a two week stall then TOM again that gave me another week at the same weight. So frustrating when that happens. Today I got on the scale and seen 240.0 right on. I was so happy to get out of the 250s now I can't imagine that I am hitting the 230's. I am 5 lbs away from my first goal of 50 lbs which I had set for xmas but I think I might hit it before the end of November. My next goal is to be below 200.

I guess the scale just shocked me today and starting to think this is happening way too fast yet my mind thinks in a way I should be losing more. This is just playing mind games with me.

Just had to rant, I am excited and love my crystal lite, I cannot drink plain water in the winter time here. I am severly cold all the time so I like my juice at room temp.

Congratulations!!  You are doing great! 

Way to go. My loss has been in fits and starts also. Keep it up and the lbs will drop.

wow you lost over 100 lbs already that is amazing, (jealous here) I do try not to compare myself anywhere near a man's weight loss.

Thank you but you are doing fine also. It is not a race and I realize there are gender diferences but overall you are doing well too. May we both have successful weight loss journeys together.

Right there with you!! day of surgery I was 254lbs I lost a few lbs in the hospital by the time I got home, but then TOM came and I thought the scale would never drop! This morning I weighed in at 238! :) I too am with you, so happy to be out of the 250s and now out of the 240s! :) 

I seen the 240's last time I dieted and I think that was as far as I got so 230's I can't even remember when the last time was but was probably close to 20 yrs ago. I know I haven't seen the 160's since 2000 but that is a long way to go yet.

I don't know why I was so excited to see the 240's but think it is going to be weird even to see every other stage, 230, 220, 210 etc... I am glad to see the 240's go though, think I was stuck in them for a long time it seems. I just can't believe how fast we zoom though these stages. I know, honeymoon stage.

I think you are doing great! I was sleeved a few days before you and I have lost almost 25lbs and 6 of those are pre-op....my weightloss is slow and I am kinda bummed because I thought I would have already lost 40lbs by now. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought that I am loosing not gaining...because without my sleeve - I think I would have gained by now. : )  Wishing lots of success in your journey.    Cindy

I think you are probably on the smaller side. People without as much weight to lose are usually slower losers.
I have about another 105 lbs to go but will see what things are like around the 160 mark.

Without the sleeve I am sure I would have been gaining as well as usual but I was pretty good at staying just below the 300 mark. I was basically a 294 person but did manage to go over the 300 with my last pregnancy. That was a nightmare to me, it was so hard to get around.

I just can't imagine even getting under the 200 lb, I think I will go crazy lol. 2000 was the last time I made it below the 200 mark right to 165 in which I was pretty skinny back then but the weight quickly returned. I just hope to have my restrictions for many years. I was speaking to Dr Kelly over the weekend, he was here for a seminar and I heard him mention being re-sleeved and asked him about that again after the seminar and he said yes. Not that I really want to go through this again but was good to know.
