i stopped keeping track of my loss.. i was going bat**** crazy because i was losing so slow... 16 lbs this month turns into 16X4 months out 64 pounds.... it all adds up... just wait for the first stall...

even though i have read about it 100's of times here I jst about died it was the longest 3 weeks of my life i kid you not! I tried so hard not to ***** about it... i knew i was doing everything to the letter so the scale will move again,.and it did

I lose on average 10lbs in a month.. for the first few months it was a little faster but i have slowed a wee bit but the scale is still moving in the right direction.

I went one week not losing anything to 2 pounds in one week. Yes, you can go bat **** as you say. I try not to ***** and stress but it gets the better of me ..... that and the Roll between my breasts and my waist from my PCOS I just want it to go ... I was down but now it's back with vengeance lol

Sometimes you just put one foot in front of the other, even if you don't know where you're going.

Heidi.

I don't own a scale. I never have. I don't need a machine to tell me my blue jeans dont fit my fat ass lol

I saw my doc last week. He asked "How much have you lost" .. told him the same thing.

stall? I just figured out that I'm a bit over 3 weeks out and if I'm on track with everyone else, I should be "stalling". I don't know if I have stalled or not................because I don't own a scale

I feel good. I have energy. The weight is coming off. I get to eat awesome foods that are healthy for my mind and my body. And I hurt from exercising but it's a good hurt-just like you

It's a journey for life... Please Heidi.. throw out the scales. Then you can focus on you.

from one "lightweight" to another

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

Thanks for the advice ... I never owned a scale either until I did the pre op diet and I wish I never had bought the damn things.

They are right about the scale, it is the enemy! I stalled at about 5 weeks. The scale DiD NOT MOVE for 3 LONG weeks!!! I was hovering between 263 and 261. It did drive me crazy and I drove everyone one on this site crazy too! lol FINALLY it moved, at frist about a pound a day for 5 days and then it spread out and I am now at 249! And stuck again....grrrrr....I know throw the scale out....but I can`t....it was a Christmas present to get an accurate reading for this surgery....and unfortuanty too accurate lol! But it will move again....soon...I hope....lol

I also have a wii that also tells me my weight (wii fit) and I can not wait for the day that I am not considered ``obease`` anymore! I will even settle for ``overweight`` no problem! Don`t worry it will move just follow the rules and down you will go! As Ian says, enjoy the ride!!
