Hello and welcome to the WLS world. Chances are you will never get enough... even when you are nearly a year out...

CONGRATS!!!! I know how long you have been waiting for that... I'm SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! Now I just need to get my big butt outta the 180's...

It's been 2 hours... have you heard anything? Best wishes!!

Awesome!!! I'm gonna start calling you the Trailblazer... you're getting me all pumped up and ready to go!!!

Awesome!!! I know you CAN DO IT!!! Your accountability will be to check in here, in this thread every day and food log. Let us know how you're doing!

You are a good Wife, just keep fighting for your marriage. It really sounds like just because he is not laying in bed all day that he may still be depressed. I'm sure he feels your discord toward him. Is he on medication or at least talking to someone about his mental status? He has to fight for your marriage just as much as you are. It's 50/50 but sounds more like 100/0... Of course I have not an idea of what's really going on so I'm just going by what you're sharing here. I don't think you are a B at all. Things like this always have 3 sides to every story. I just want you to know no matter what the case you will always have support here. xoxo

Then you should be good to go.

Hi Gayle, wow congrats so far on your losses!!! You're rocking your sleeve girlie!! Next, usually for the larger sizes you will stay in them much longer than you will the smaller ones. I went through my first sizes a little fast, but I literally stayed in 18's for about 40 Lbs I think. Now in my smaller sizes they are lasting around 7-10 Lbs each. I hope this helps! Don't feel discouraged. You will get there. Time will pass the inches will melt away into smaller clothes.

Awesome, thanks to you all who will give it their all!!! If you are starting right now, good on you! All the best from here on! As for me I'll start Sunday. However, you best to believe I'm gonna finish too. It WILL BE TOUGH!!! But I'm a tough girl and I can do ANYthing if I put my mind to it.

*Bump*
