I'm so close 201 and holding, for the past 3 weeks. I wish it would just happen already. I'm making a concerted effort this week to eat clean and do some extra cardio...

I was the same way I didn't feel any restriction until I started on solid foods. The pain on the right side for me lasted about 5 weeks.

Try gettin off the cardio and on to some strength training.

Lovely before HOT after!!!

I drink tea daily, loose leaf brewed all different kinds black, green rooibos and many others, some with honey ,some with milk, some with both, some with neither. All made in a Breville tea maker.

I'm 7 months out today and could not be more pleased with the way this has gone for me. I followed what I was told with a few slip ups and I'm down 102 lbs and 3 lbs from being under 200 lbs for the first time since I don't know perhaps Jr High.

What would he want you to do? I bet have the surgery...

You look great congratulations, there's,a lot of effort that goes into keeping fit and your doing a great job, keep up the good work. Thanks for staying around the board for so long its great to here how people are doing as they get further out.

The only exception I make to not eating and drinking together is my protein shake and banana after my workout. I set the timer on my phone I find that helps me.

One of my favorites with cottage cheese is tuna, a double protein blast...

Great start keep your eyes on the prize.

I'm 7 months out and haven't given a lot of thought to goal weight, my surgeon never gave me a number. I started at 304 and my CW is 203.5, I guess around 170 would be good. I stopped counting and logging about 8 weeks ago I continue to loose a pound or two a week, I haven't had a stall. I eat clean and exercise 5 or 6 days a week. Am I in maintenance? I don't know I'll just continue fat, dumb and happy until I stop loosing then evaluate where I am and decide then what to do next...

When ever my losses have slowed I found upping my liquid intake seemed to help get it going again. Caution liquid in = liquid out make sure there's a place to go...

Six months out and I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Everything has gone great I down 100 lbs and in better shape than I've been in years. It seems almost effortless. I still fill my plate with more than I can eat, I eat slowly and stop at the fires feeling of satiety.

Way to early in the game to give up!!! Stick with the plan walk sip repeat. Stay off the sugar, find a protein you like and quit feeling sorry for yourself You've been given a second chance at a healthy life that many people will never get don't blow it.

10 pounds 10 days winner, it came on over a long tine give it time.

Good luck start to follow the rules now...

Don't weigh yourself every day, you will drive yourself crazy. Stay on track eat clean if you slip up don't beat yourself up and don't wait to get back on track.

Do what works for you.

Ya this...

That pain is just the weakness leaving your body. Relish the feeling because after doing strength training for a while you will no longer have the muscle soreness. I miss the pain it made me feel in touch with my body.

Welcome to the looser's bench!!!

I've been at the gym a lot lately, and have got my junk pinched between the bench and my leg and felt it swinging around on some of the standing exercises ie squats and dead's. I've looked around the locker room and see most guys wear their underwear, as I do boxer briefs, maybe one guy with compression shorts, I'm thinking of getting a couple of supporters. What do you guys wear while pumping iron?
