One day shy of a 4 week stall I was down 5 pounds this morning!! I'm not calling it official until I weigh in tomorrow at my surgeon's office for my 6 week post-op follow up, but I was pretty excited to see that change this morning. Four weeks was sooooo frustrating! I didn't start getting frustrated until I hit the 3 week mark. This last week I was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong, but I wa****ting my protein and water goals each day and exercising. I upped my water anyway and I wonder if that helped.

For now I can't wait to see what my official weight is tomorrow. If I can lose 1 more pound, I'll be down a total of 50 since my first clinic visit in July.

HW: 378 | 1st Consult: 363 | Surgery: 339 | CW: 182

Congratulations! If you stay on the food plan, you will get past those stalls. I only weigh myself once a month and at the surgeon's office - I'm guessing I probably missed realizing I was stalling at certain points in the journey since I wasn't weighing very often.

Keep up the great work and good luck tomorrow.
