  1. I've been stuck at 170 Lbs and 160 lost since before the Holidays. I've been working really hard since March and now it's FINALLY showing up on the scale. I kept bouncing between 170-175 but 3 days ago I hit 169 and been same every morning. Even today which is weird because of a lil bloating.. haha - anyway figured I might as well give myself some credit!! HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND VST FRIENDS!

  2. Goal is not wrapped up with a weight on a scale. It is not measured by the waist. It isn't the size inside a pair of pants. Goal IS health, happiness and most importantly being able to accept one self with confidence, respect and being comfortable in one's skin.

    Nsv - My Surgeon Asked Me To Be In An Ad!

    Sharon, I LOVE IT!!! :wub: Wow, your story made me want to cry... walking up that hill and feeling like you wanted to die. Ive been there, so I understand. Look at you now though. I'm so happy for you and I totally agree with Coops - you have a wonderfully lovely and soothing voice. Would you mind if I shared that on my Facebook??
  4. I've lost 160 and I think I've done quite well in the skin area. Again though, lots of factors go into it - namely age (which I'm not SUPER young... lol), ethnicity, I always kept fully hydrated, non smoker, ate healthy and well balanced, working out... and I think LOTS of luck. I had some Lipo (body contouring) done from my knees to my waist and I've had breast augmentation. But that's all at this point. I do plan to do more, but not rushing. I'm actually happy with myself right now. I'll assess again in about a year from now. Good luck!!

    For without honesty there cannot be healing. Without healing there will never be growth. And without growth we will always be doomed to keep making those same mistakes.

    Long Term Success?

    Hi Addison, I will be 2 years out in September. I met my first weight loss goal in about 7 months which was to hit Onederland. I was 272 Lbs on surgery day. I've made numerous other goals for me since then. I'm currently sitting at about 169 Lbs at the moment. Just depends on the day. I have no problems right now however post op for the first few weeks I experienced some nausea. I also had some significant fatigue for the first 4 months, so that might be something you consider. Yes I'm keeping the weight off, in fact I do still lose more weight here and there. I'm working on toning up so with building more muscle I am losing more fat. HTH

    Made My Goal :) And Venting Frustration...

    Hello there GLI, well... as allieg put it... Moms will be Moms. LOL My Mom does this all the time. I just smile and nod and say "Okay Mom, I promise I won't lose too much". Haha! She's just commenting because she loves you. That's all. However since we have to live in our bodies we are always the ones with the final say. If you feel you can go for more then do that. It's always nice to have a little wiggle room, so if you run off course you can catch it before gaining too much. <3

    Growth won't happen until you look inside yourself, accept you're human and make changes. I don't lie to myself. I take my faults and negatives, throw it out to the Universe and like a boomerang it ALWAYS comes back to me making me stronger and more positive. <3 Good morning Vertical Sleeve Talk!! Whatever you do today, do the right thing.
  11. Hiya sweetie!!! Thanks for all the messages!!! <3 U!!! I am going to quit insanity... lol :) Most of the results you see are actually from my weight lifting. I am going to keep doing the core workouts I have from Shaun T though.

A lot I do but most I don't. I'm thinking I'll still do maybe 1x per week and just my favorite ones.

    You look great!!! =))
  17. Okay... I just think I need a little break for a few days everyone. I'm just not feeling it and I have a few things I need to work through right now. I need to get my head back into the right place, it is NOT there. I'm not my normal self and it's starting to affect me negatively. I've got way too much to look forward to, and I really need to get back on the right track. See you all, hopefully sooner rather than later. If you need me, please PM me or contact me via text messag...
