Yes, I have been MIA lately. I have told Donna, and I will tell you all as well, I had to detach from OH because I was getting bad about comparing myself with other results and feeling like a failure. It is hard to compare with you all because I had the revision from the band to the RNY, but I am still finding myself comparing. I am weight-training with a personal trainer 2-3 days a week and doing cardio for 30-40 minutes about 3-4 days a week when I am not suffering a stomach bug or cold that we have been plagued with this past month. I am grazing a lot lately and find myself depressed. My body is still changing - I have gone from a starting pant size of 26 down to an 18. My shirts are Misses size now - mostly XL's. Here is the thing....in the past two months I have lost a TOTAL of 11 pounds. 4 pounds in October and 7 pounds in November. I have been eating MORE lately though. Also, I know i am gaining muscle - believe me....I AM - but the stalling loss is getting to me. I expected to get below 200 into onderland by years end.....I am sitting at 217. Will it happen? Is anyone else going through this valley? Am I normal? At 7 months post-op am I done with my weight loss? Can I get below 200? I am at a loss here. Thanks for listening even though I have been missing. ((HUG))

Hello everyone.... I have not posted in a few weeks....just feel like I don't compare with what everyone else is losing. Highest 262 Surgery 258 Today 178 Total loss of 84 pounds it has not been a good week...fighting a cold and all that cold and cough medicine just screws things up....but here is to a good week.... Love all you guys and keep up the awesome work!!!!

Hi Maysters, I've been weighing in on Monday mornings and missing the party every Sunday morning. Recently I set my scale to match the one at the doctors office, so now I know what the doc's office is going to say before I get there. The nearest I can tell is that I have lost 4 pounds this week. That is 5 last week and 4 this week for a total of 9 in the past two weeks. I AM still shaking my fist at November for only letting me enjoy 4 pounds of weight loss. It just goes to show you that slow and steady wins the race. Highest: 347 Surgery Date: 300 Last Week: 215 This Week: 211 Loss This Week: 4 pounds Total lost: 136 Keep up the great work everyone. John
