The weight loss is very slowly coming off which has been very frustrating; however, I am trying not to let it get to me. I used a device today that was pretty cool. It measured my body fat and gave me a BMI reading. I have not been eating a lot lately, at least I don't feel I have, but I haven't been exercising like I should. I lifted weights a couple of times this week, but really did not cardio, which is what I NEED to do. I still feel as if the inches are coming off. I will measure tonight and see, my clothes are feeling looser and my skin :( looks more saggy than it has before. :( It is hard not to feel like a failure when the weight loss is not just falling off, but I do have to remind myself that I have lost 58 pounds in 10 weeks. When is the last time I could say that!!! :)

The gym and I have not been on speaking terms this last week. I am really struggling with going. I have been worried about my eating habits lately. I have been "grazing" a lot more than I should. I will try to curb that and get back on track. I read a post yesterday that you could "reset" your pouch to dump when you eat sweets or high fat foods. I don't eat sweets, but I would like to try to start over. I don't think I have ruined anything, but just the thought of being able to start over again and loose weight, hopefully a little more quickly, sounds great. To reset your pouch I think you can go back to the liquid diet and go through that phase again. I doubt I would do it as long, but I might try it - if it is even possible to reset a pouch.

Yesterday I started back to the gym. I have been going off an on for a little while, but I started a strength training program and am charting my progress. Hopefully this will help me stick with it. I was very happy to see the scales moving. I know that if I keep up the strength training that the scales may stop moving as much as they have in the past, but I should still lose inches. I am using the Fitness Planner on GNC's website. That is a great tool if you are unsure of what to do and how many calories you are taking in.

Now I am just considered...OBESE, rather than morbidly obese. :) Never thought that would be something to be excited about. LOL I hadn't weighed all weekend and then I weighed yesterday. I had lost another 2 pounds and then today...I weighed and I have hit the 50 pound mark. :) I'm so excited. Yeah me!!!! I'm feeling really good and so very happy.

I still haven't lost any weight. My husband measured me tonight and I am still losing inches. I have lost a little over 20 inches since surgery, but the scales aren't moving. I am doing better than I was in my January 21 post, but still discouraged at not losing weight. I need to throw the scales away, but that is hard to do...especially when I am only 7 weeks out and should still be losing weight. ERRRR!!!

I haven't lost any weight in a while and I am getting discouraged. I should be on top of the world right now, but I'm just not. I didn't think I would be this depressed on "the other side", but I am. I feel like I did 47 pounds ago. I'm to the point where I don't care anymore, about anything.

I went tonight and needed to buy an outfit for tomorrow. I am having family pictures taken and nothing fit well anymore. I had been wearing a size 24 pants and a 2 to 3X shirt or a 24/26. Tonight I bought a size 20 jeans and an XL (regular size) shirt. :) I am so excited. I couldn't believe it. The pants fit, but are a little tight, but I figured it would be more economical to wear tight pants for awhile, rather than buying pants that fit and under-grow them in a week or two. I love my life. :) !!!!!

It has been almost four weeks since surgery and I have lost 38 pounds. The weight has really slowed in the last week...but it is that time of the month. :) I am hoping that is the reason. I haven't started exercising yet, but I plan on that in the next week. I started eating pretty much what I wanted to at Christmas, which was only 2 weeks after surgery. I worry that that is a reason for my weight loss slowing down. I have only vomited once and that was not really vomit. Weird happening....won't go into details. :) Nasty!!!

Well...things are going wonderfully for me. I kinda hate to say that, since there are so many people on here that have had a hard time getting insurance to come through and then had a very hard time in the hospital and post-op; however, (knock-on-wood), I have had an easy time and things seem to be going so well for me. I weighed today, 12 days post-op, and I am down 31 pounds. It amazes me everytime I get on the scale, which has been quite often lately. :) I will stop getting on the scale everyday....in a few days. :) I love getting on the scale now...I hated it before, always dreaded it. We had Christmas at my grandparents this last weekend. I thought it would be hard for me to see everyone eating and me still on soft foods. I was able to eat dressing, probably wasn't supposed to, but no dumping! I ate MOST of the things I would have ate anyway, just in smaller quantities. Isn't the saying...quality - not quantity. :) Tomorrow is the last big hurdle to cross this holiday season. We have Christmas at my husband's parents house. All will go fine, I know, but I'm ready for the holiday and all the holiday food to be gone. :)
