Good morning!
Hope you are well this morning!
sitting here sipping my protein coffee, trying to plan my day!
Cool and cloudy here today.
I think I might join a gym today, have heard some nice things about the Planet fitness by my house. Need to get back in shape!
Have an amazing day!

Congrats on your success so far!
I got to 1 pound from my goal. Weight loss did slow after 5 months, but I continued to lose the first 18 months. Weight loss was never linear for me. Would bounce up and down, then every 2-3 weeks would lose 1 to 2 pounds. Especially when I ate high protein and low carb. (Still true today)
I think lightweights actually may have an easier time getting to or below goal. Not sure what the statistics are
By the 3rd year regain became a real battle. Thank goodness my tool still works!
7 years later, I am 12 pounds away from my original goal. Working on getting there.
Good luck!

Thanks Roz!
I know it's too easy especially when I am home and cooking to pop a few bites here and there, or stressed out and find my head in the pantry or refrigerator!
But that's ok, even though I have had a few days of poor choices, I have gotten back on track. I also make sure I journal it too.

I do weigh every morning. Don't have a problem with the fluctuations. Even post op, I would be up and down. Just seems to keep me focused
The problem is when I quit weighing, because I know I am not on track!

At how many months did your weightloss plateau officially? As in you never really lost more weight and you either began maintaining or actually started the dreaded regain. How close to goal were you?
I am so curious what everyone's experiences are. I am 5 months post op and last month I only lost 1 pound. My gut tells me it was just a stall but part of me wonders and worries as I am actually only 10 pounds away from what I was told was the average or expected weightloss of 65 to 70 percent of excess weight lost. So I am approaching the expected zone, but I am also wondering if a lightweight is more likely to lose more than 65-70 percent simply because the overall amount needed to loose is less to start with?
Looking forward to hearing your experiences ?

How often do you weigh yourself? I know every ones different and sometimes the scales can depress some posters and make them eat and others do better when they are up. I'm an every day person. I weigh myself the first thing in the morning and the results of that number helps me decide how strict I need to be that day.
When I log on and I see my face all over the page it's kinda of creepy.....LOL.

You are doing an Awesome job!!!!
Posting on here is what keeps me in line when it comes to eating. I think everyone has to be accountable to some one or something so they don't mindlessly eat. I know that sometimes I stop and think if I ate something and then several things pop up in my head that I just ate out of boredom.
