[mimi42]

You'll get days like that at the start, I did too. You think "is this it for life" "what have I done" etc. yet once the weight keeps dropping off you 2/3lb a week you then realise its all worth it. You'll soon be back to normal, going out for meals n stuff (smaller ones tho!). Have you got a notebook with your weight and measurements in? I recorded in here weekly...that helps too. Keep faith and it will come!!!

 

[mimi42]

Well I just weight myself 3lbs off that's made my wk.

 

[JO28172]

So what's that so far?

 

[mimi42]

22lbs

 

[JO28172]

Now say it with a smile 22lb . That's a super kick start, so 2lb a week would see you at goal by when? Then set some mini goals inbetween and you will sail it!! well done!

 

[mimi42]

In 5 wks wow just worked that out feel so much better now.

 

[mimi42]

47 wks seems a long way off but its not even a year and my bmi is 38 now when it was 44.

 

[JO28172]

In 5 wks wow just worked that out feel so much better now.

I had pieces of paper with dates on, and pencilled in forecasts based on 2lb a week where I'd be in say 4 weeks, 8 weeks etc. do what's needed to make you drive this in 1st gear! Foot down!!!

That's fab and don't forget to chop and change that end date based on extra losses or not as you go! So what will you be by Xmas???

 

[mimi42]

Iv penceled it so I can change it as I go .
By Christmas I should b12.3 or LESS if I work really hard.

 

[JO28172]

You have all done brilliantly, I'm on week four after surgery and didn't lose any weight this week which I was surprised.

I have lost since my pre op diet roughly 2st 4. So in the last month.

I didn't think i would have a no loss week so soon.

Here's hoping I lose next week.

Hi, I had a week of not losing in week two which was really disheartening and now I've lost a few more pounds, it's not coming off so fast for me but I hope that will change on in a week when I have my first fill as I have an empty band at the mo. I think I am just impatient! We will get there

[mimi42]

Don't hurt yourself doing too much, but it definitely does help to move around more. Bet you will have more energy too if you have managed to eat a little more. Bear with it, it does get easier
