    Since I didn't lose a lb last month and seem to be at a plateau because I can't get to the pool anymore I'll go a bit humble on my goals this month.
    1. Lose 5 lbs.
    2. Learn to use the new rebounder I have set up just today and then use it at least 3 days a week while waiting for June and time to set up our pool in the yard.
    3. Don't worry, be happy.
    Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
    CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    I hope to lose 10 lbs this month and drop 1 size.
    I'm doing good with calories, water and protein, so I'll focus on exercising at least 5 times a week.

    May 29 is my surgery, I have three trips planned, two fr work (leaving tomorrow) and one in Italy for a wedding (my home town). I will start my pre-op diet in Italy the day after the wedding. I am seeing all of this a big challenge in terms of weight loss. However I wish I can manage to loose some
    here the goals:

    1) 6 pounds loss (day of surgery 265-264)
    2) manage to exercise at least 3 times per week
    3) eat slower every freaking meal
    4) keep my protein at 90-100g per day
    5) Hold it together (work is super crazy, family is crazier!)

    frowned BB


    288 - Highest weight on March 2012
    268 - Weigh before starting pre-op diet on May 14 2012. 20lb loss
    258 - Weight on surgery on May 29 2012. 10lb loss from pre op
    224 - 2 months post op (July 30 2012).
    178 - 7.5 m out. total loss 110, post op 72lb

    I fell off the exercise wagon last month. Ugh. Need to get back on it!
    Starting weight 253

    I want to lose 10 pounds
    Get back into exercising (swimming at least twice a week and biking at least twice a week)
    Get back into weighing/measuring my food

    I've gotten away from weighing and measuring everything. I don't know how much it's affected me, but I want to start it up again.

    205! Watch it go to 207 tomorrow, grrr. But, for now, 205 is psycologically satisfying AND it just so means I have lost exactly 50 lbs.! Hope the next 50 comes off faster...
