Im eating realistically - if im out and away from healthy choices i may grab a small dollar menu burger, but its not a daily thing and i dont beat myself up for it. I stay around 1000-1100 cals a day and im 8 weeks out. I was down 42lbs at my two month mark on 2/28 and two days later im down almost another 2lbs! Im finally in the 250s!! So if you have to eat bad food just dont make a habit of it and dont beat yourself up over it. Its ultimately a numbers game which is pure science - calories in vs. calories out.

Don't be too harsh lol. I know the hat looks goofy. Sleeved: 12/31/2012 - 297lbs Updated Pic: 2/28/13 - 261lbs

Gracias. Me gustan latinas, asi que es bueno. (my spanish is probably a little off).

Thank you everyone... I really appreciate the compliments. I didn't really think you could tell a difference until I put the pics side by side to see before I posted it. It's crazy how the mind plays tricks on you.

7 1/2 weeks at that time

Ive been using straws. Still alive.

Ok so I'm down 36lbs and six weeks out so I figure now's as good of a time as any to start exercising/weight lifting. I'm horribly out of shape though (as I'm sure a lot of us here are). I'm looking for tips from those of you who hadn't been an overweight but in great shape person prior to surgery (if that makes sense - you know a big guy that's even bigger b/c he lift a ton of weights and works out). Someone recommended insanity, but I think I'll fall out from a heart attack lol the name alone scares me. I'm going to the gym tonight for the first time in a while to start on cardio and some weights... for motivation I've already signed up and paid for a "Run for your Lives" Zombie 5k that's coming here in June (You should seriously check it out - the youtube videos are insane). I've never run except to chase an ice cream truck as a kid so this should be interesting. I have the C25K app but I can't even handle the day one routine of jog 90 sec, walk 60, for 30 mins... So.. tips... How should I start this process? I DO have a bad knee... but everything else is fine. I need to build up endurance for the run and strength/muscle too for some of the obstacles (and to tighten up/prevent loose skin in the process). Would love to hear what you guys/girls did!

Sleeved on 12/31 - im counting today as two months (2/28 - although technically its probably the 2nd for 30 days) 42lbs gone only 60 more until Im happy and 80 more to goal!

Yes they are

Don't forget us white guys love curvy hispanic women too

Looking great! Having to fight the guys off yet?

DFW Texas

From going solo??? Damn dude

Wow! You're looking gorgeous!

Sleeved 12/31 too - down 42 lbs today. Had my fair share of stalls for sure till i upped to about 1000cals and hit the gym.

Almost everyone stalls there.

lmao love it

Same thing happened to me. Finally quit hurting about four days after

Try being a male nurse working with cute female nurses.. Who got to know you at a big weight n probably will always see you like that. First opinions are almost impossible to break.

If you keep checking the site you'll see there are WAY more happy endings than tragedies on here. I'm one of the good ones myself. About to hit two months and down 40. Trust me it's worth it.

With SEX! lol.. ok probably not so much. Just thought it sounded like a good answer
