Explanation

Hi Everybody, I had written a few days ago about my stall, and I have had some that have had some questions, so I thought I would post this to explain it better. I had stalled for three weeks! When I went to the doc for my week exam, Nov. 1st (which was two weeks after my surgeries cause I was in there 1 week) I weighed 449....more than before the surgery...all because of water. They told me to go ahead and use my water pills....so on Nov. 2nd I started taking my water pills again and by Nov. 9th (7 days later!) I had lost 44 pounds (of water). Then NOTHING for three weeks! Then this week I have started loosing again! I am hoping and believing that this is now fat that I am loosing and no****er! This morning I weighed 395!!!!! PTL!!! I know that I should have been grateful for the 44 pounds lost in that ONE WEEK's period of time, and I was, but since I knew it was water, it was hard, since I wanted FAT to be gone! I'm learning! I will forever be grateful to God Almighty for all He has done and is doing!!! Thank you for your encouragement, love & support! God bless! Love, Cindy

Hi, Cindy.

Hi Glenn!!!! It is so good to see you!!! God bless! Cindy

Hi Cindy. Hoping you have a blessed day.

Hi Cindy! I'm so glad your weight is coming down and no doubt its not all just fluid at this point. My weight is going down pretty slowly, but the surgeon told me yesterday that for my starting weight I am right on target. A young woman who had surgery the same day as me was there and we sort of think of ourselves as surgery twins, well she has lost twice as much as me, but she started at a higher weight and anyway I know we cannot compare (but its hard! ) Anyway, I am told (and believe it to be so) that if we follow our surgeons rules and food plan etc...then we will lose it!!!! Seems like I lose a pound and then a week later I lose another. Thats the way it seems. Yet I am down 23 pounds in a month and I know I could not have done that without this help....so it is working. We will get to goal!!!!

Thank you, Ginakay! I am so happy for you too with your 23 pound loss! Bless you!!!! Love, Cindy

Hi Cindy, Thanks for letting us know what has been going on. I am so glad you are over the stall! It will keep coming off. After so many years of fighting with my weight I find myself not being as grateful as I could be with what I am losing. Thank you for the reminding me that I too need to be aware of what God has done and is doing in my life and giving Him the glory! Love ya! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Thank you, Lynda, for your kind and encouraging words! I love you, too! Love, Cindy

I hope you weren't feeling embarrassed about sharing. You are doing SO AMAZINGLY WELL! You have nothing to be embarrassed about. I noticed your lil' guy when you checked in was the lil' embarrassed fella. So, I just wanted to say that first. I for one think you are ROCKIN' an ROLLIN'! You are doing what you are supposed to be doing and I know that this will just be a hurdle in your road to success!! You are overcoming obstacles left and right. You are bulldozing your path to better health. Don't forget you did this to be healthy, not skinny. I know that, because you told us you felt that way. And, you are ALREADY so much healthier since the surgery. SO CELEBRATE! I AM! WAY TO GO CINDY!! YOU ROCK SISTA'! Blessings~ Becky

Precious Becky, Thank you so much, you sweet thing! I can't wait to hear how your appointment went today. Please let us know! God bless you! Love, Cindy
