Haha so true! My mom was telling me my boobs got smaller. I didn't realize it till I went bra shopping. Went from 42DDD to 38 DD!

Great job!!

3/31 240 4/7 233.4 Easter goal: 230 I may have to change my easter goal to 225!

Wow! Fascinating! Now u know if I searched for a massage therapist with that kind of knowledge or experience I'd never find one lol

I'm the same way! And I lose more on the days that I don't exercise...last week I only worked out hard for 1 day, lost 4 lbs. the 2 wks before that I worked out an hour a day 5 days a week and barely lose a lb a week. I'm guessing due to gaining muscle? But I think eating something fatty every now and then helps break the routine up.

So my goal was to lose 10lbs by easter, I wanted to be 230. Originally I wanted I lose that by April 8th bc it's my 30th bday, but I've been such a SLoW loser compared to some people that it just didn't seem possible. I weighed 240 on 3/23. Had. 2 week stall, and in the 3rd week by 3/31 dropped down to 237. Typically I only weigh on Mondays so I don't get crazy. But it seemed like every day this week I lost weight! Fast forward to today- I hopped on the scale and I weighed 233! Wow!!! I just might come close to hitting 230 by Tuesday! It would make me SO happy because I have to get y drivers license picture renewed and every pound counts! Even if I don't make it to 225 til easter, I haven't weighed that since college 11 years ago! This is crazy. I stepped on the scale a few times today not because I'm obsessing but because I just couldn't believe t! Sorry for all the rambling

Ugh..:I'm still waiting for mine to come! I typically get it every 35 days...it's passed that now! Wondering if the weight loss has affected it. Now I just sit and wait, terrified, wondering when it will surprise me lol

You are absolutely right and it's nothing I haven't already tried to tell myself! I don't know why I'm so worried what other people will think because the people that I told are the people that support me 100%. And if people find out and don't support me, why do I care?! I don't know... I don't know why I care about what people think when they don't care about me in the first place and just want to gossip.

Kindle, it's just that- bloodwork at 3,6,12 mos and nutritionist visits. I really would like to meet with a nutritionist but I guess I know what I need to do: protein protein protein! Lol I guess id just feel more comfortable having face to face appts.

I say if u have time off in the summer, go to Mexico! Dr Ortiz and the OCC was great...and it was nice to get away and enjoy the sunny weather I stayed for a week and enjoyed the Marriott and the warm weather

I want to be able to say that, I do...but I just can't! I feel like everything I did was a failure and I know I shouldn't worry about what people think, but I do! I hate that people will think it's the "easy" way out. But really, the friends that I have told have been nothing but supportive.

I tried bariatric chewable vitamins And I can't stomach them. But the ones I love that I found are Centrum Flavor bursts. Taste great, they are small and don't make me sick. And they aren't gummies. I buy the berry flavor but they also have tropical.

I'm down 50lbs so far and I sadly told ONE person in the office that I thought I could trust. She told "one person" ( which, you know the drill, means they told "one person", etc.) anyway, so one coworker walks up to me yesterday (I don't typically work with her and haven't seen her for months) she said to me "Rachel you are looking good!" I said "thank you, I've been working hard, watching what I eat and exercising and seeing a nutritionist." She doesn't say anything and she smirks and says "yeah, but you had surgery right?" It was such a snide remark and she meant it exactly as it sounds "you had surgery so your weight loss doesn't really count." I'm already very sensitive about it, hence why I didn't tell anyone. To be quite honest, I'm embarrassed that I had to have the surgery, even though I honestly did work hard to lose weight without surgery. But that comment def threw me for a loop!

I'm 6.5 weeks out. Went shopping with my mom and went up to the plus size section and she said "you can't wear that stuff anymore." I assured her I could. She told me I need to check the regular women's clothing- I still feel weird shopping there. Looked at an XL jean jacket and thought There's no way that's gonna fit...but it did! It's crazy! I look in a mirror and ask my mom- is that what I really look like or is the mirror distorted? I've lost about 50lbs but don't believe it yet in my head.

So I'm a little over 6 weeks out...so far, I can eat anything. But this week I found my first food that my stomach doesn't like- I made a simple corned beef hash. Corned beef, frozen tater tots, some cheese.....I thought when I ate two bites of it on Monday that I just wasn't in the mood for it. Then today I ate 2 bites and I feel sick again! Boo! Oh well lesson learned do you have any foods that don't agree with your new stomachs?

Ooh I learned that the hard way too. Must take right after eating!

Oh u typed in 06 before. found u!

HW: 288 SW: 259 2/17/14 Current weight: 235 Sometimes I get discouraged thinking I'm losing slow... But since December I've lost 53lbs and that is amazing! Never thought I would accomplish anything close to that, much less in 4 months!

I actually did buy some clothes. Some smaller and some that I can fit into now. I bought leggings because all my jeans look so stupid and saggy in the wrong places haha i can't even tell u how happy I was to shop in the regular departments! Not plus size any more!!!

I'm following u already chaychelrachel

Tried adding you- no user name found?!

3/22 240 4/3 234!! Maybe I could hit under 230 by next week!!

Had surgery 2/17/14. Since then I have experienced multiple days of vaginal dryness and I've never dealt with this before. I will be 30 next week...not sure if it's cause I'm getting old and hormones are changing or if it's related to my surgery and weight loss? I lost 30lbs on my own before surgery and i have lost about 20 since then, for a total of 50lbs. I have to see my gyno for an annual so I plan on discussing with her then but I was just curious if anyone else experienced this and what was the reason. Thanks

Hey how are you doing?! My stall finally broke! I was stall for a good 2.5 weeks tho. I bumped up my calories, protein and water and it worked. Also, during that stall I did lose inches even though I didn't lose lbs.

3/23 240 3/30 238.8 -1.2 lbs Goal for easter is 230. Really I wanted to be 225 by my 30th bday next week but I realized it was too unreasonable. So if I can get there by easter, I would be elated!
