Topic: RE: Stall Needs to end!!!!
My weight loss has been really slow the last couple of months. I know it's partly because I'm getting close to goal but I also think I'm eating too many carbs-- good carbs, but too many. Time to step up my exercise plan.
Topic: RE: Stall Needs to end!!!!
My "stall" lasted three months because I was eating poorly. I figured that if I was going to eat carbs, I should probably work out to offset those calories. It got me moving, but hthe thing that keeps me moving everyday is that in about one year I will not longer have the benefit of the honeymoon period and if I don't develop good habits now I will not have them when I REALLY need them.
It helps me that I can drag my husband to walk every day. He wants me to succeed, too, so he is willing to walk with me and sometimes he's the one that gets me out there. Do you have someone you can workout with? Is there someone that you can call and talk to while you are working out - kinda like you are walking with them?

Val, you are 12 lbs away! That is awesome!
As far as alcohol goes, I over indulge and pay for it the next day. I feel sluggish and hungry. I'm at a point where it really needs to be worth it and I have to have NOTHING to do the next day if I drink the night before. If I have things to do and keep myself busy, I can't aford to waste a day feeling like crap because I "celebrated" something the night before.
Also, I am really watching my carbs and alcohol is just empty ones so they are less apealing to me righ tnow. My goal is to get to my goal!
I forgot to mention in my first post that my hair has finally stopped falling out! Yeah! Now if I just felt like it was growing back in...

I can eat a slice of pizza, too!
I really like the idea of the picture on the mirror. I don't want to go back to that unhealthy body again!

Topic: Stall Needs to end!!!!
I'm hitting a month long stall and it is driving me batty!!! I feel like totally defeated and am worried that i have reverted to too many old habits..aka.. Not eating on a regular schedule ..missing meals... not getting enough water.. Snacking too much.. I think I'm a grazer and that is likely what is getting me and of course work stress and daily family stress 4 daughters tend to do that!!... I am trying to set my self back on track. Starting with getting back into putting me first... Sounds selfish I know but I keep doing for everyone again and Now im slipping.. I didn't do the surgery only to go back to same old me... What's the saying doing the same things and expecting a different result..... Any one want to set a work out goal with me??? I have a treadmill and elliptical but i have a hard time ensuring II'm using it unless I am accountable to someone else ya know what I mean??

Im doing ok! Besides the consistant snacking. And carbs are evil!
But, im trying to make it to the gym because it seems like I only loose a pound every 2 weeks.
Im 34 pounds away from my goal weight though and I heard thats when It really slows down. Im upping my protien and trying to stay away from alcohol so we will see how that goes!

I can pretty much F up a whole slice of pizza myself! But, I don't feel too great afterwards.
I think Im going to try to do the 5 day pouch test this weekend. It would be pretty much impossible for me to do it at work.

I am so glad to hear that everyone else is struggling with the same things I am!!! I worried I was alone in my snacking and eating the wrong things! I have been snacking constantly! Do any of you know what the percentage of people gaining their weight back after WLS is? I have been trying to find this information on the web and I can't find a statistic. I am so afraid I am going to F* it all up and gain all this weight back! I hope I can get myself back on track. I am going to take the advice and stick to protein. Next week I am going to dedicate my week and all my groceries to buying MEAT. And by the way my doctor says I should be eating only 2 ounces about 6 times a day. I am WAYYYY over that amount! I can eat a whole slice of pizza no problem. :(
Any of you having this issue too?

I spent three months at the same weight because I was eating too many carbs! Now I know what people mean when they say carbs are the bebil. They really are for me!
I'm walking nearly every day and eating WAY more protein than anything else and lots more of that too! The pounds are finally starting to come off again.
It's feels really good to be working toward my goal weight and I'm proud of my efforts and taking care of myself. I am so afraid of blowing this second chance for my life and health!
I'm down over 100 lbs from my heighest weight and 74 since surgery. I wear a size 14 comfortably, but when I look in the mirror I still see the large me in my body. The only place I look skinnier to me is in my face and legs. Weird, huh?
What are you all up to???????
