Hey hey... down another pound today

I had been stalled out so long.. so this is exciting, as in the last 9 days I have lost 3 pounds! YESSS!!!!  I was starting to worry. But FYI, I found out why I stalled, and it was because I WAS NOT eating enough! So, now that I have focused on getting in all of my meals, and a healthy snack or 2 a day, I am now losing again! So for all you newbies to wls out there... keep this in mind. Your body will go into starvation mode and really defeat your efforts.

3 more lbs and I will be down by 100 lbs since my wls. Then another 20 lbs and I will be at goal, which is subject to change once I get there and see how I feel, or if my body is kind and continues to lose after that! My initial goal was 135, but my wls doc thought that was very extreme. His goal for me is 170. I compromised with 150 as a goal, and being only 3 lbs from HIS goal, I know I won't be content there.

Just thought i'd share! Have a great day guys!

So glad to hear the stall is over.  Your body got to the point where it said I will try to save me, you are starving me.  Good to trick the system into thinking the famine is over.  Wow, 97 pounds gone already.  Wish I could say I know how you feel.  Hopefullin in a few months I will be where you are.  Hmmmmmm 1 more day passes, hope I learn more Monday about my date.

How tall are you Patrece?  Your body will loose til you are at the right weight.  Not sure quite how it knows, but it will.

I am 5'6". But I am very large framed. I weighed 135 before having children and thought I wanted to be there, but I am older, so that may not be practical for me anymore...so just shooting first for down by 100lbs, then on to the 150 goal!

I'm rooting for you in finding out more on Monday! I hope you have great news for us in chat.

3 pounds, that is great!!!!!  i know what it is like to stall and then start losing again, it's like a weight lifted off your shoulder. vick

Glad to hear you are on the losing side again.  I'll have to keep in mind to eat enough.
