Having problems with message search?
I couldn't agree more. I have not had a good week. I didn't gain. I maintained, but I did lose 2 lbs of body fat this week. I have lost a total of 65 lbs since March. Still counting down. I had a sweet tooth this past week, but didn't go crazy, plus my water weight was up also over a pound. I look to having a better week next week.
Thank you for posting your info. I do think this helps. Alicia said to me today, why didn't I utilize the message board while I was having a bad week. I told her I thought it was due to the time of the month, and it would pass, but the truth is we do need each other more during the tough times then ever.
Keep up the great work! I hope to be in that 10 with you soon!
My stats:
Starting Weight of 286 lbs (size 26) on 03/14/07 and as of
07/18/07 221.4 lbs. (size 18) I couldn't tell you what my BMI started at, or my body fat, due to I don't have my first sheet, but as of today it is BMI 36.8, Fat% 39.0 (which I can remember was 50% or more when I started), and my Fat Mass is 86.4 lbs.
Keep the post coming!

I'm assuming from the activity on the message board that perhaps you
guys may not be having those huge weight loses anymore because no one
is posting. Well if that's not the case for you that's been the case
for me! I have plateaued or should I say I continue to lose then
gain, then lose the same 3-5 lbs each week. At first it was starting
to get me bummed out (not enough to quit) but when I went in today
and spoke with Alicia she pointed something out to me and that's the
inches and fat loss. So in order to get the board back up and going I
wanted to post my updated stats from start to where I was last time I
posted my stats which was June 1st, 2007. Here they are:
I started this program with Dr. Croland on 3/8/07 at 196.2 and I
weighted in today, now 4 months later at 179.8! That's 16.4 lbs which
is 2.2 lbs more than I weighed last month on the 1st of June! (See
message: http://health.groups.yahoo. )com/group/ learn2lose/ message/28
The reason I'm not freaked out is because of what my body is doing.
I'm in a size 10! Before I was squeezing into a size 10. Now it fits.
No problem. I am tighter and toned so I'm certain that the shift in
weight and absence of weight loss is me putting on muscle.
Again her are my stats...
3/8/07 6/1/07 7/18/07 total lost
Weight 196.2 177.6 179.8 -16.4 lbs
BMI 30.7% 27.8% 28.2 -2.5%
Body Fat 41.1% 38.0% 36.7 -4.4%
Fat Mass 80.61% 67.41% 66.01 -14.6%
(Fat Mass is body fat so it's really like losing another 15 lbs!)
So even though my weight has stayed the same over the last 6 weeks I
have lost body fat, fat mass and inches. I decided to post this today
because I felt that someone (including me) might need the
inspiration.
We all love the big numbers but we did not put on 3-5 lbs a week so
it's not going to continue to come off 3-5 lbs a week. I'm in this
for the long haul and know (and see) all of the health benefits that
taking off this weight has done for me. If it takes me 6 months to
lose this last 25-30 lbs (my goal is 150 lbs) then so be it. I won't
be thrilled but I spent 15+ years of my life battling my weight.
What's 6 months?!?
Let's get this board back going. I wanna see some post DANG-IT!
