Hi Melanie.

I noticed that our starting and goal weights are similar.

As of Monday, I lost 19 lbs. I had my 6 week visit with the NUT today and I'm averaging about 3 lbs a week since surgery.

I don't think there is any "special" thing we are doing. For me, water/fluids is ALWAYS my first priority. Then protein. Then exercise.

I get in 9-10 glass of water/fluids a day (fluids = caffeine free brewed tea). Water is crucial, imo. I get in about 60-70 grams of protein a day with the help of one shake. I try to keep my carbs at 30, but sometimes they go higher. I keep my total calories at about 700 a day.

Remember, you are considered a "light weight." So am I. We don't have as much weight to lose (even though we have more than enough, imo), so we aren't going to see big weekly losses. I think I had at least one week in there that I lost 1 lb.

Do yourself a favor and don't weigh everyday if you are.

A pound loss is a pound you will never see again.

Let the frustration go and find something else to do.

Good luck and I hope it gets better for you.

I hit my first stall. But I am not mad about it, I can aknowledge where I went wrong and hope that I report a loss next week.
Have a good week!

I've made one of many goals. I wanted to be under 200 even at the doctors office, with clothes on and everything, before my Surgeon 6-week visit this Wednesday. Depending on how his scale is to mine, I think I'm there. Woohoo!!!!!

I TOTALLY was flipping out lol. But now I am trying to be calm .. we will see :)

 I lost a lot of weight my first two weeks as well, and now it has stopped.  The scale was exactly the same as last tuesday.  I am so thankful you posted this, because it really helped me not to freak out..... Well at least to freak out less.  So thank you for posting this.  
I'm happy your weight is coming off again.  Here's to keeping the hope alive.
