I took my then 10 year old daughter to a Water park that had a lake that you could kayak or canoe. She was insistant that we each get a kayak. I told her I wasn't gonna fit in one but she persisted. I wedged by butt in one and it immediately sunk in the sand and got stuck. The kid working the area had to push me out and as soon as he did it tipped over. I then got in a canoe and rowed away. There were a lot of people in line watching and it was mortifying. I am 5'7" and was about 250 at the time. I knew that day I had to do something. There were also a couple of water slides with weight limits that I was slightly over. I can't wait to go back and do it all this time.

These are my before and almost there photos. I have 22 pounds to go but I've been at this weight for a while now, just losing inches slowly. This has been an amazing journey that I wouldn't trade for the world.

Welcome NewKristen. Good luck on your journey.

I had surgery November 2011 and lost almost all the weight the first 8 months. The last several months have been toning up and losing inches but the weight doesn't seem to want to move yet. I'm 5'7" and I started out 257, currently about 172. I have dropped 2 pants sizes in the time that I wasn't losing weight so I'm happy with that. I've gone from a size 20/22 to a 12.

Sorry to hear about all your troubles. Moving around helps with the gas trapped in there but mostly you just have to wait it out I think. I would take the extra time off work if you can afford it. No need to rush back if you don't have to. I had a really easy recovery but I'm sure others will have better advise. Good luck to you.

I'm sure many of you saw the Dr. Oz episode with Chis Powell and his high carb/low carb days. I've read and heard alot about this and was wondering if anyone has tried it and if it seems to work. Of course our high carb days would probably still be less than the average person. I've printed out the shopping list and his recipes. I think I'll give it a try.

I am also a slow loser and a lover of coffee. Check out drinkclick.com. It's a Protein Drink mix with espresso. It's awesome mixed with Water and ice in the blender. Better than Starbucks Frappaccinno. I can't get it quite right hot but blended it's great.

It's a rough time but after the first 10 days it got way easier for me as I had adjusted to the diet. Here's a phrase I borrowed from theworldaccordingtoeggface, "Don't give up what you want most for what you want at the moment". That really helped me get through for some reason. Stay strong.
