3 Months Out--57 pds down
Sep 12, 2009
Yea!!! I've made it to the 3 mos mark. So far, I'm 57 pounds down and I'll take it. I've learned a lot the first three months, and I know now that in order to be successful with the WLS, you still must excersise patience. I think people believe that since you have WLS, your weight is suppose to fall off of you like water. But, it still requires patience. We flunctuate up and down, up and down. At one point, I kept loosing and gaining the same 3 pounds for 4 weeks. Even with those trials, I realize that we have to move on. I may not have lost as much as others, but, really, I odn't think I would have lost 57 pounds in 3 months without the surgery, and with that, I'm grateful.I've also learned that I need to work out at least 40 minutes within my fat burning zone. This is great news because I realize that I don't have to overstress my workout trying to loose weight. As long as I stay within that HR, my workouts will always be productive and beneficial to my health. I recommend that everyone find out what their HR in the fat burn zone should be and workout there. I'm happy to be 57 pounds down and I can't wait to get to the 100pd club.
