DISCOURAGED
well, I got on the scales today and weighed 196, but I have been at this weight for several weeks, it s fluctuating between 196 to 199 so I Dont know if I really have finally lost 3 lbs or if its just fluid going up and down, I did eat a little more yesterday and today to see if the calorie bump up might get things started again, I have got to quite comparing other peoples weight loss with mine, I know it is stupid to do it, but I cant seem to keep comparing myself to others, anyway, I should be happy with 74 lb loss but since surgery have only lost 34 lbs, since Jan 31 to April 9, I cant do enough walking my knee just kills me, but dont want to see a doc here since leaving for Minn next month and I want to get a bunch of things done when I get back to Mn, I know I need a knee scope, and then hopefully will be told I just tore a meniscus or need a Lateral release, not a total knee, praying Janeekay

Hugs sweetie, hang in there. I know these plateaus are murder. I haven\'t lost all that much since my surgery and was definitely losing more before. I also had to lose that additional 28 lbs that I put on in the hospital from all the fluids! Talk about discouraging! My PCP told me she wants me to lose slowly and I guess that\'s what happening. I wanted to be down to 220 at least by the time I live to go to NY on May 5th to visit my friends and family. I\'m not going to get there but at least I\'m trying. Hang in there sweetie. It\'ll come off albeit slowly. HUGSSSSSSSSSs
