6 months was when I started my slowdown.  I never really stalled like a lot do but I did slow way down.  However, I found if I upped my protein and lowered my carbs, I kept losing.  Might try that.  You are really close to the 100s.  Bet you get there this week!!!

I'm 8 years and 3 months out and sugar still makes me sick for which I'm glad.  I finally made an appointment at my surgeon's office.  I probably won't see him but it the dietician I really need.  Then there will be the exercise guru that I would like to avoid.

Today was a banner day for eating.  I'm going over recipes to fix for me.  This fixing meals for DH and son and me eating what they eat isn't working.  

I'm working so I'm taking my lunch.  I bought salad fixings, boiled eggs and I'm prepared for lunches this week.  No use beating myself up over what I've done, but I need to focus on what I need and take care of myself.  

Today's eats:B: Protein shake

S: Homemade Eggnog Protein shake

L:  Beef/Vegetable soup; salad

D:  Pork roast; carrots & onions

S:  ??

I saw the surgeon Friday. I like him. he has done over 4000 surgeries. I will also see another doctor and I think I get a physical which I haven't had in years. 

My Dr went with my 1st weight on my 1st visit for insurance approval.  I was over your BMI and had other issues but at least around here, the dr's keep good track of the insurance requirements.  I would not try to lose at this point until you are approved and certainly talk to your insurance and Dr but I would hope you would be fine. 

My weight fluctuates a lot.  I feel like I eat pretty much the same all the time and I am up and down.  We have had folks in your situation who have worn heavy clothing and shoes, carried a roll of quarters in every pocket, drank a lot of water, etc.  Whatever it takes to get approved (without hurting your health obviously).

Stay in touch and good luck.  Let us know how you are progressing.
