Finding MeMe

My Dr. said it will happen so expect to lose some hair. Maybe you can get a cute pixie cut or experiment with wigs, many ladies wear wigs till their hair grow back.

You can use it to sautee chicken, cabbage or even use it in rice or on potatoes with cheese and some caned chili.

I agree with the others stop weighing yourself daily and only do it once per week if not every two weeks. I work out daily at least 60 min and my wt. will vary up to 5 lbs. Meaning I can weigh in at 185 in the AM workout for 90 min and step on the scale and weigh 190 this is due to water/fluid wt or hormones in the body.

No not at all, I tried to stop but I love the taste too much and I don't think it's caused by drinking coffee. .

Yes because your body is detoxing from all of those chemicals and unhealthy stuff. This also happens to my hubby during his first two days of juiceing.

Get ready to lose all of your big boobies and big butts!!!!!!. Most people when losing wt. keep the same shape and shrink down to a smaller size person. I recommend lots of cardio, weight lifting and lunges/squats to keep your skin tight as you lose. I started at 250 and now at 182 and a size 7, I don't have much boobies and butt left but it is firm and I look great in and out of clothes that's all that matters to my hubby and I.

Take your time and try not to bounce around too much. zumba is one of my fav exercise classes. I like the fact that you can burn up to 600 calories per class.

I love it too and even use it on my skin so I smell like a pina colada.

Tuna, cheese and scrambeled eggs also chili or baked beans. I also combine them on occasion, cheesy eggs, tuna with eggs and a little mayo and tuna with cheese wedges. Good luck to you.

It sounds like his surgeon is not doing the surgery laposcopically (sp) so he will have one big incision.

I agree, we all love our surgeons and I don't believe that her intent was negative in any way. Information is power and more information about physician's performing this surgery in the US and Mexico is good info. Cost is also a factor and so is the experience of the surgeon. She simply found out some interesting updated information on her surgeon and wanted to share it, bottom line.

Remember all of our bodies/metabolism are different so we will lose wt. at different rates. This is why I don't compare myself with others, I continue to exercise at least 60 min, 5 days a week and lift wts at least three days per week and my wt, is coming down in a healthy way. Exercise is very important to losing the wt. and keeping it off. You also don't want to lose the wt. too fast because of hair loss, etc. Good luck to you and please stop comparing your loss to others.

This is good info for people making their decision to get sleeved in Mexico.

Be careful because you will still be able to eat many "bad" sugary foods after you are sleeved like the frosted cinnamon rolls, cookies, ice cream, cakes, chips, etc. They are considered slider foods and your sleeve will love them. During this time practice mindful eating and think about why you love and are addicted these bad often sugary foods and make a sincere promise to stop the bad habits starting today. Good luck to you.

Oh yes we have and worst, hang in there and I hope your date comes soon. Keep posting because your posts are so funny got me laughing this morning. I almost spit out my coffee.

I smile and say thank you "I am shrinking down nicely, glad you noticed because I have been working hard". I am happy about the complements and don't dwell in conversations with people about it. If they want to discuss it which most don't, I do tell them what I am doing for the wt loss.

I do lots of lunges, squats and spin classes to help keep mine firm. At 45 I have no issues whatsoever it is a lot smaller and very firm after my wt. loss.

Always listen to your body and try exercises that are friendly to your knees and feet. Biking, swimming and walking are good exercises. You can always use small hand wts to work your upper body while you walk also. I almost forgot you can do your own curcit training at home. Pushups, situps, lunges, small hand wts for upperbody, dips on the chair, etc. six or seven exercises will give you a good workout. Good luck to you.

You are right, I just gave my favorite sweat suit a proper good bye last month. I wore the mess out of that suit cause it was the only thing that fit. Now I have a good variety.

Because I like the taste of good food. I like to cook and eat, also like making gourmet meals for my family and feel good to hear "you are such a good cook, thanks mom". With that said I ate it until I was stuffed and went back for more. I still exercised but not enough so I had the wt. gain.

I just got there and it feels really good, not brave enough to wear a bikini however.

I am 45 and have no loose skin started at 250 now 182. However, I workout everyday and lift weights most days when I workout. Like Weetsin stated it depends on how long you've been fat and how stretched out your skin is so of course a 25 year old skin is not as stretched out as a 65 year old. Good luck to you. Personally, I would rather be slim and healthy with excess skin than fat and unhealthy with smooth skin.

looking good and slimming down nicely

Interesging but I think I will stick with a bmi below 25%, 33% is a little too high for me.
