I hide my scale from myself, I know not much of a hide but out of sight out of mind. It is tremendously difficult to stay away from the scale and it's siren song! lol

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
I stalled at a week and a few days too. After my first I think 9 days I lost 14 lbs and then nothing for about five days, it was crazy making. I do weigh daily but mostly so I can see if my thoughts on whether I did good the day before re:water, food choices etc are accurate. It's hard not to weigh daily, mass respect for people who have the will power to go a week in between! Bottom line is it will come off over time, just be patient with yourself and make the right choices and it will happen.
