Sunday Weigh In June 19, 2016

I wasn't here last week but 2 weeks ago   131

This week after a week of wedding stuff    133

So I am back to my pretty normal for the past few years, 132-134.  During my travels to the wedding, I listened to an interview with a lady, don't remember her name, who wrote a book named something like Why Diets Make You Fat.  Pretty interesting.  It did make me think that my body seems pretty happy at this range.  I guess I should be too.

So how was your week?

Seem to have stumbled upon the beginnings of my first plateau. The last four days have been 154.8-155.0, luckily I'm expecting this to happen, so I'm taking it well. 

Last week 155.8

This week - 154.8

It seems a little early for you to be stalling.  You have been a pretty routine eater. Have you added anything new in? How about swelling from the heat?  I'm always a little higher during the summer.

Did you take your measurements?  It's strange how it works but during the stalls is when you will notice the most inches coming off.

I discovered the culprit. For the first time since November I woke up this morning to find I'm getting a period. I was really hoping for official menopause, nope. 

So, not a stall, jus****er retention and hormonal fluctuations. 

Oh, yes inches are coming off. 

7 weeks out and beginning to think this surgery is not going to work for me. I lost 18 lbs but 10 was the first week , now the scale won't budge . Grrrr 

so last week 180

this week 180.6 

is there some cases where this surgery is just unsuccessful? 

If you're following your plan it will work. There is a famous 3 eeek stsll that many have   sometimes your body just has to figure out what is happening  start postingon miles and menus. Are you getting in your fluids. Are you getting in your protein hang in there it will work 

Thank you. I'm getting in my protein and water, vitamins and following my plan . I just worry ( I wonder if everyone does at some point ) if I will be the one that the surgery won't work 

Your surgery was just a few days before mine. I'm right there with ya, stuck for the last 4 days. 

I know it's completely normal, but it's an emotional challenge to accept that stuck scale.

Try to imagine what's happening inside your body right now. Your cells have shed their excess fat from so many places around your body, that it's naturally overreacting. It's going into protection mode, basically filling those now empty cells with water to protect you. In a few days or weeks, when your body realizes that you are not, in fact, starving, it'll release all of tha****er and you'll suddenly be down several pounds over night.

Follow your plan, add a few extra glasses of water to help with the flushing of excess water and don't neglect your protein. The best thing you can do for yourself is relax, this too shall pass. 

Last week 131.8

This week 134.6

Well....at least I had a great time on vacation!  Not terribly unhappy with this considering the amount of caramel corn I ate!  Anyone had Fisher's in Ocean City??  Annual treat, but sure am glad it's gone!

Well you know what to do to get back on track. Happens to all of us. Just part of the rest of your life
