I was a slow loser and work HARD for every pound. At times its almost unbearable to not ave that scale move when you know youve been doing right. My only hope was & still is this IF I KNOW 100 percent that I have been a good girl then it will catch up with me just as sure as if im not a good girl it will catch me. I know its so hard but try and be patient. Your body is still going thru shock especially if your adding exercise now. I rememeber when I was walking 1 hour every day & hitting the gym 1 hour daily and for 3 months nothing. I thought I was gonna go postal if I heard anyone else say "you must be gaining muscle". Unless you are training like those nuts on biggest loser your probably not putting on that much muscle but like I said your body is still in shock and you are a girl and God gave us those darned hormones :-)
Keep doing whats good for your body and I promise it will come off. I am over 5 years post op and have maintained my weight lost.

Hello everyone...I am still fairly new to this weight loss life (for lack of better words) but I have a question. I had my surgery in Oct 08 and at my last visit with Dr. Roe was down 53 lbs. My next visit is this Friday and like a child excited about passing a big test, I couldn't wait to tell Dr. Roe that I began walking and have found an exercise class I can actually afford...lol. Granted with 2 jobs I can't walk everyday but I don't think I have done bad and am up to 3/4 mile 2 sometimes 3 times a week. Here's my question...I got on 2 different scales Monday and don't show any weight loss. I'm so upset, now I dread seeing Dr. Roe friday and I feel like a total month has been lost. I have gone over in my mind every piece of food I have had wondering what am I doing wrong. Is this normal? It really took the wind out of my sail (lol). On the up side...it makes me want to go even harder next month but right now I'm really depressed over it. Any words of encouragement????
Thanks,
Brenda Mason
