Topic: Major Stall!! HELP HELP PLEASE!!

I have had some stalls, many of times but it just seems like everything is stopping. Please give me hope! Or Help! I started at 296 and down to 201 which is Great I know but I want to break that 200 mark! I want to be in Onederland

Seems like I have been playing with the last 5 pounds for a month now! I make sure I get my protein, I do a protein shake each month and I did add another scoop so I am getting 48 Grams there and trying to get some from food as well, I drink plent of fluids though most of it is Sugar Free hot cocoa, is that a problem you think? I did have all my blood work done and doc said everything looks great, but I cant seem to find anything that I can really eat that I like

I do a salad probably every day, I need idea's PLEASE! Also looking for someone that would help me daily with an exercise plan, incentive? someone I need to answer to about what I did?? Anyone want to join me? Anyone else out there feeling how I do? Cathy from Iowa

Topic: RE: Guess what I'm wearing???

Monica, I know the feeling! I was in a 26 pants when I started and wearing 18's now and REAL JEANS I call them! I always wore elastic waist jeans as they were more comfortable, didnt think I'd ever be wearing zip and button/snap jeans again and even a 18! And they are very comfortable, maybe more so then the elastic ones were. CONGRATULATIONS!! Its a GREAT feeling!! I hope to go the nex size down with you!

Topic: RE: Displaced Lightweight , what's holding me back?

I'd defiantly check out the Oklahoma board to find some local support. I moved from (were I had my surgery) Oregon to North Carolina when I was 4.5 months out so I understand what you mean about needing that new support. Of course you know with WLS we don't just change physically but emotionally/mentally too. This is often a quick change so it is not surprising for depression and/or anxiety to enter the picture. It takes a while for our brains and emotions to catch up with what our body is going through. For some more online support there is a Lightweight board here on OH. They are wonderful supporters there! Here is a link if you haven't already visited http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/wls_lightweights/ Hang in there! And congrats on the great weight loss so far!!!
