I think it works for some people, but for people who have true food issues and have a lot to lose, it isn't right for them. But everyone is different. I hate that it constantly changes. I was doing well on it until they changed everything. I hate that it is mainly just a money maker and that they have to keep changing it so you have to go out and buy all new cookbooks, calculators, etc. I also felt like my leader wasn't very helpful and that the people I was in group with were pretty addicted to food but that was never a topic.

I did ropes courses and zip lining when I was a teenager and thin. Maybe I just don't remember things accurately but I don't remember it being that big of a thrill for me. I was just a jaded teen maybe!? I want to take a flying trapeze lesson or two. They have a few schools here and you are supposed to be able to do a trick where you are hanging from your knees and someone on another trapeze catches you. I want to do that!

That's amazing! If you don't mind me asking what was your surgery weight? Good work! You have really worked hard.

I'm shedding but I have a lot of hair and I have been taking Biotin since pre op so I don't think anyone can tell. Other than the long wavy hair all over my clothes! I try to brush it out at night so I can get it all out at once instead of shedding all over but it doesn't seem to work. Kind of like with my dog. I use a furminator on her and think I'm getting all the fur and there are still hair balls on the floor! ha.

So the only liquid you get a day is four cups of milk?

What was their reason for the denial?

I'm sorry. They always find a way to lie without regret to get people on their side.

Yes people dont lose that much that fast on WW.

Can we name celebrities who suddenly lost weight after being overweight for decades and claim it was due to magic supplements? Hello Kirstie Alley....

Lisa Lampanelli is active in that charity too.

I'm losing too and I am diligent with protein and vitamins. I am shedding and hair is all over. I have a lot of hair so its not noticable yet. It's a small price to pay I think.

I would be so mad! Is there another surgeon in the practice you can go with instead?

You have NO idea. You are very lucky. I don't regret my daughter but I regret having a child with him. I think some of the same traits that make us targets for sociopaths are the same traits that lead to us becoming fat.

That is my ex to a T. Luckily she can just drop her as a friend and she doesn't have to ever see her again. It's incredibly difficult when you have to share your child with such a person.

I don't think I have a new personality. I'm down over 60 pounds but I have been this weight for long periods of time in the past. I am having a hard time imagining getting to goal because it's been so long since I've seen those numbers on a scale. Maybe then my personality will change somewhat. I've always believed that no matter what your size you should try to feel good about yourself, you should still try to look nice when you can. I just don't think my personality will change that much.

I think if you have a strong marriage it's just going to make it stronger. If you are with someone you settled for because you were overweight, or if your mate is very jealous, or if your mate is only attracted to big people, you are going to have issues. Fortunately I married someone who is supportive and loves me no matter what. If anything this has made us closer, because I can trust that when I'm vulnerable he is still there for me and takes care of the things I can't.

That's the truth.

The claws come out over WLS. So my crazy ex found out I was posting here and he used information I posted to send an email to my employer stating that I was using drugs and all this other BS. He told my employer about my surgery and put my user name here in the email. He pretended to be a coworker of mine. So long story short, after consulting lawyers...if she doesn't name you or specifically target you there isn't much you can do legally. She hasn't said anything that is a lie either. Its a matter of her opinoin. In my case libel isn't going to be pursued but I have other legal things I'm doing. He's probably reading this so I won't say what. I think people just don't want to see other people be happy, especially people who are over weight, out of shape, addicted and don't take care of themselves mentally or physically. They want you to stay just like them to make themselves feel better. It's a shame that people have nothing better to do with their lives. I've heard that abusers will only let go once they truly have their hooks in a new relationship and can get their narcissistic supply from the new person. Eventually she will find a new target. I thought my ex had a new target but I guess she's just not giving him the hate rush he needs. I say let it go. I wouldn't be surprised if years from now when her joints ache and she has high BP and her heart is tired, she gets surgery too.

She sounds like she hasn't recovered from her eating disorder. She just changed it from eating too little to eating too much. Mentally she is very unstable, it's obvious in her posts. Just ignore her, I'm sure eventually she will find someone else to be enraged by. She seems like a very judgemental person.

I support you!!!

It's going to be ok. Relax. No you aren't going to get a thing done while you are on leave. And that's ok. Also, when you are dropping off your child, make sure your ex husband can't see that you are looking at WLS sites on your phone. He's a psycho stalker.

I picked the top of the normal range for my height and frame. If I lose more than that, then that would be great.

How do you get in that much protein without shakes?

I would just reassure him that you are losing weight for your you, not to find a new man. Tell him that you want to be healthier and feel better about yourself.

I had a bad experience with them. When I plataued they acted like I had done something wrong. They act like women aren't supposed to gain fluid weight before their periods. When I needed proof of my meetings for the insurance company they were absolutely horrid.
