Thank you!! I really use these kinds of comments and stuff for motivation, so I appreciate your feedback (sorry I've been off for so long, I didn't mean to ignore your comments. I do read them and appreciate you!!)
-
Thank you!! TwinsMama! I'm super proud of them lol- I never thought I'd be able to wear and 8, it still floors me!
Mokee- I'm glad you can read it! I will make sure I keep the regular script settings from now on too- I was trying to be creative so it wasn't boring lol
-
mokee- I changed the font back to Arial, does that help?
-
THANK YOU!!!!!!! everyone on here is sooo suportive- it makes this so much easier to do
-
It really has changed my mood so much- I knew I had some depression and self-conciousness issues becuase of my weight- but I never realized JUST how much it was holding me back. I honestly have given myself the gift of a new life- and I am so happy I did
-
Congrats on your loss!!
-
wow! Thank you!! I didn't expect that by any stretch of the imagination...you guys rock. You don't know how good those comments make me feel Thanks for the boost today- I needed that
-
That's great advice...listening to what people say, and looking at the pictures seems like a good way to keep myself grounded in exactly what changes are going on
Best of luck to you on your journey!! Thanks for the tips!!!!

I'm not sure what 'normal' is...everyone says they experience stalls, and everyone experiences them at different rates and for different amounts of time as well. I've been battling the same 3# now for about a week or two- but I've also been on vacation and not watching my diet as closesly as I do when I'm at home. I've been CRAVING protein...so I know I need to make some adjustments. I've also started some new routines for working out- to change in up a bit- and to start working on what are becoming problem areas...my arms/thighs/butt (sagggy- gross lol)...hopefully a little change up will be what it takes to get me losing again. 70# is AMAZING! I'm only at 52, and trust me- you should be VERY PROUD of what you've accomplished so far!

Sorry it took me so long to respond, I didn't get notification of your post until just now- sorry!!

I had my sleeve done by Dr. Pleatman in Bloomfield.

I'm at 192 as of today- once I hit 190, I'll be at my 50# total loss post-op too..so I'm counting down those last few pounds with everything I've got!!
-
Thanks guys!! I do find myself weighing every single morning....I told myself I WOULDN'T be "that person"...and I did great.......fooooorrrrr about a week- I went in for my 1 week post-op and was down 10# and it was like a drug. I had to have it..every day. I spent so much of my life hating my body and my weight- so to see the drop- was addicting..to be honest..and now it's just a daily thing...sometimes more than once a day...if the mood strikes. I have my scale in my KITCHEN ...I mean. Seriously.
I guess it's time to put it away and only get it out once a week. Maybe that's why I'm driving myself nuts.
-
Keep it up mokee! I found having a goal to work for really kept me motivated to get up and do that extra work out- or drink that extra glass of water...and yes- pass up that unhealthy snack for another one. I hit 197 today, the weight is for sure coming off slow and steady...just have to keep plugging along I'm rooting for you!
-
Thank you I'm officially at 200 today, just teetering on the edge of ONEDERLAND. It's a great feeling, I can confidently say this is the best decision I've ever made in my life. Best of luck to you on your journey!!
-
Thanks for the feedback! I have had a few people say, "See I told you it was always going to be something" when I tell them that I want a Mommy Makeover when all is said and done and I hit my goal...makes me feel like I'm not appreciating the changes I am seeing, ya know?
-
I just remember being so nervous about the decision I was making, and worrying that it was going to be "for life" once I went under the knife...and it is for life...but it's a much better life than I ever could've hoped for now that I'm on my journey!
-
Thanks!!!!! I figured since I'm on here often worrying, complaining, and asking questions- the least I can do is share my progress too!!
I couldn't do it without all of you guys!!

Sherrie. I broke my stall since this last post- and hit 29# today on the scale. I finally saw it today in a picture I took of myself...I'm telling you- I am JUST like you. You HAVE to keep your head up- start believe when people say you look great, and suddenly- you start seeing it yourself. I had to really check my own (excuse my french) shitty attitude about how I looked. I'm leaving my old attitude in the bags headed to the curb along with the clothes that I can proudly say are too big, and will never fit me again.
I opted to motivate my butt, start walking faster (and running), start working out when it's crummy outside, drink my water, hit my protein, make wise food choices- I didn't come this far to fail now. I'm gonna put my shoulder into this and push my way through to the end. You've got this too!!! Chin up- you look great, keep up the good work!
(steps down off soapbox) LOL

Seeing it go up and down when you're only at 25# total loss freaks me out- I realized too though that I've been slacking on protein, and now that I'm able to just eat regular foods again, having a hard time finding the right choices...those being things that I like and can still tolerate/eat. I'm going grocery shopping tonight and hopefully having a house filled with everything I can AND LIKE to eat/drink will help keep me better on track. Easter weekend was not kind to me-- but it wasn't terrible. I did go up a total of like 2 #, but now that's gone, plus some- so I'm still on a downward trend. I'm just still new to this, and terrified it won't "work"....seems like everything else I tried was the same way- great results at first, then it just stopped- and things slowly slipped back to old habits. I'm trying to break those now, so that this is the lifestyle change I WANT and KNOW it can be Thanks for the advice/support!!

I'm SOOO guilty of being a scale-psycho too. I told myself that I wouldn't do it. I actually got RID of my scale with my past diets, and would only weigh myself when I dropped my son off at my sister's house on Thursdays...and I certainly wasn't obsessive enough to drive all the way over there to weigh myself everyday- now I'm doing it at LEAST once daily...I got on this morning, and was back down that # I'd gained, plus another .5#...but you're right- this is not good for me. I'm thinking I might pack the scale away and go back to bothering my sister once a week when I drop my son off for daycare there that day.
-
Thanks for the tip!! If anything...really looking back on it- my protein intake is probably DOWN the last week or so-- I'll step it up!!
-
Thanks! I already shorted myself a day last week b/c the holiday weekend has been nuts- so I'm going to catch up on that day and then do my regular 3 days this week...not a good start though :/ oh well- just keep keepin' on right? lol
GOAL!

Pinkylaty- I'm so sorry I didn't see this until just now :/ I wish I would have seen this and been there to support you prior to your surgery!! I feel terrible.
I had vertical sleeve gastrectomy...and I was very scared too. I've said before, I can't tell you how your surgery journey will go- and I'm sure yo'uve read both good and bad here...but I would do this again in a heartbeat, it has forever changed my life in a positve way- and I hope that you'll experience the same. Please let me know how you're doing!!
