Where are all our Lightweights??

Good morning!

Hope you are well this morning!

sitting here sipping my protein coffee, trying to plan my day!

Cool and cloudy here today.

I think I might join a gym today, have heard some nice things about the Planet fitness by my house. Need to get back in shape!

Have an amazing day!

Everyone that I know that goes to our local Planet Fitness loves it. It's cheap enough that if you don't like it you aren't out much.

Hey, I'm here.

New job, less walking.... {sigh}

HI Gina!

Congrats on the new job, sorry about the walking though!

Keep sneaking some movement in!

Good morning! I'm new to this forum. I had vsg 1 year ago today. I had surgery, in Mexico, with Dr Alvarez and I couldn't be happier. I left northern California at #208.5. Day of surgery I was #204.5. My BMI was 38. Today, 1 year later, I am #160 with A BMI of 29.5. I am 5'2. That means I've lost #48 and 60% of my body weight. My goal is to be #130 or less. But I haven't lost one pound in six months. I eat very little and I am not sure how little I can actually eat. I have keto coffee at 7 am and then eat a lunch at 11 am. Usually, 4-6 ounces. I drink coffee and Crystal light 60+ ounces a day. I snack a few times, usually low carb, but not always. Cheese stick or something similar in size. And dinner a small portion of whatever I have fixed for my family. Again 4-6 ounces. No carb count on this. I do eat a snack after dinner but again small in size. Any suggestions?

Congrats on your success so far!

sounds like you are doing the right things.

For me it really makes a difference when I am weighing and measuring and limiting my carbs to less than 50 grams a day. And I journal all my food and snacks

welcome to the lightweights!

For me, after 7 years post op, its about journaling and being aware of what I am eating. Sounds like youre doing all the right things but maybe its time to recheck portions and limit carbs. It does get so frustrtating when that dang scale wont move!

Maybe you need to up the protein and try to walk more or sneak some more movement into your day.

Good luck! Congrats on your success so far!
