Finally in onederland!
Oct 05, 2014
I let my Friday weigh in day pass by without much a-do because I'm just barely at 199 but it finally happened after a 3 week stall I'm down to 199. I haven't been at this weight in 13 years since right after my daughter was born. My goal is 160 because I'm fairly tall and big boned. My wonderful Doc never gave me a set goal he just told me how to eat and how much to exercise and to never go over a certain amount of carbs each day and I've been following his orders. Dr. John Mathews is my amazing Doc but I wanted to share this Dr. Alvarez video about stalls; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lAC0XP48Ck I found his youtube thanks to member luvmygs - I think so thank you luvmygs I've watched a lot of Doc Alvarez videos and they've all been very helpful. Even though I just came out of a stall even during the stall I lost inches and my clothes got baggier. It still takes me by suprize each time put something on that I formerly couldn't wear for it to now be too big...time to go thrift store shopping again! I think when I get to goal I'm going to not only buy myself something beautiful to wear but also some type of beautiful ring so each time I look down at it I can think of my loss and blessings; I count my blessings every day but I'm thinking I want a nice ring when goal gets here. Everyone, I know I'm still a work in progress and will look back on this posting hopfully someday to think - gee I still had a ways to go...but for anyone considering surgery or about to have it, for me it has been such a great life-changing surgery; I feel like I've got my life back. I'm not to goal yet but following my Docs orders I'm working on it. These progress pics http://www.obesityhelp.com/photos/album/179039/876806 are when weight was before surgery at 282 then at 201-202 & the picture below of me and my precious 90 year old aunt is from yesterday. Have a wonderful day, and thanks to all who are kind enough to read and/or reply to my posting. This site and many OH members have been such a great source of information and inspiration to me.
