Hello skinny, you look marvelous. Keep up the beautiful work, you are doing great. Did you meet your goal yet or you have more to lose?

I am with you. I weigh myself once a month and no more cos I hate disappointments. Even though the scale makes the decision not move for a month or two, it's still okay as long as it's not moving up.

My older sister started this journey before me but she was denied by her insurance because of low BMI and I was approved. I was sleeved 6/5/13 and she ended up paying private and was sleeved 12/5/13. My sister was happy for me even though I cried when I found out that she was denied cos I wanted us to be close in date. I am now there for her for support and advice even though I wish it was the other way around. Your friend should be happy for you no matter what but don't give up on her yet, she might come around. Good luck and be happy cos this is journey that will take you to a place where you have never been before.

Congrats, see you on the loosers bench. You will love this journey. I do.

I am singing praises this morning cos I have never been so happy to lose a mere 4 pounds in my entire 38 yrs of being alive. For two months plus, the scale was stuck at 242 and today, I reluctantly hopped on it expecting to see same numbers but was amazed when it read 238. I screamed so loud that I woke up my two babies sleeping. So happy. Best Christmas gift.

Yes, it is expected and you are not doing anything wrong. I hit a stale at about 3-4 weeks out and I am now six months out and has been at the same weight for a couple of months now. I have also noticed that I have gone from size 20 to 18 in the past couple of months when the scale last moved. My original surgery size was size 24. My point: even though the scale is not responding to all your hard-works, your body is. Good luck and please don't give up. It will be worth it at the end. Sleeved-6/5/13 SW-300 CW-242 Goal-160.

I am six months out and just weighed myself today after more than a month to find out that I only lost 3lbs in a month plus. Really, are you kidding me? I should have listened to my doctor when he told me that I am going to fail cos I am focusing so much on the numbers. How can I not focus on the number when I am trying the best I can to lose this nasty weight and everybody else is excelling and am failing. I should have known better than to expect to triumph like everybody else cos It will never work for me. Should stick to my motto" if it was not for bad luck, I would not have any luck at all". Whenever people are engaged in anything and doing well and I decide to try whatever it is that they are doing, I always fail for some weird reason. I don't know why I thought this would be different. I guess this means that I will be stuck at 242lbs and be happy for the 58lbs that I lost in six months. I know stalls happen and I have been thru it but not this bad. I have encouraged the newbies in the past about stall but really? In almost two months to lose 3lbs? Unbelievable.

The topic says "considering liposuction" and I have not made up my mind about doing anything just doing some research. I do value a lot of opinions from this site cos these are people that can relate to me and what I am going thru more than my family and friends can. I now think that I will wait and see what will happen in the next six months or so, then I will take it from there. Thanks all for your opinion, I truly appreciate them. I guess going from a size 24 to 20 in 5months puts me in a position to push my thighs to shrink too. Sleeved 6/5/13-my 38th birthday.

This is what I'm talking about. My thunder ugly looking thighs. By the way, I went from 300lbs to 245 and one would think that they would get smaller. They all look the same to me even though the 3rd picture was the most recent and the 1st picture was the week after surgery. Judge for yourself and tell me what you think.

Hitting my goal will take forever with this thigh in the way. Also, my family will be traveling out of the country in six months and I don't want my thighs to keep me from going with them. I also believe that I will have more confidence and motivation to continue with my goal once the thighs are reduced and I look like a normal person.

I will be 6 months out on dec. 5th 2013 and have been doing good so far. I'm a slow loser but still do my part like watching what I eat, going to the gym, climbing the stairs etc. I am giving this all I got but my thunder thighs are just in the way and it bothers me. I love the results that I see on my body but once I look down on my thighs, disappointment sets in and I feel like I have not been doing anything at all. I'm thinking about having liposuction on my thighs and see if I can get beyond this depression. I have the kind of big fat thighs that when I put my legs together, my thighs bumps up on the inner side. I don't know how else to explain it but it's very annoying and ugly to look at. My mom is even willing to sponsor me though she's done a lot already. Should I wait or just do the liposuction? Highest weight-300, current weight-245(as of 3weeks ago), goal- 160.

Thank God that I'm not crazy. I will be 6 months out on dec. 5th and noticed that all my cute size 11, 10w and 10 shoes doesn't fit anymore but I don't remember ever wearing a 9. Guess I'm gonna have to try a 9 or 9w. I'm a slow loser but my feet seems to be losing more than my body. Don't want to invest on new shoes now cos the way my feet is going, I will go down to size 6 in the next 6months LOL.

My hair started thinning a few years before surgery from braiding and using too much chemicals so once I found out about hair loss post surgery, i saved myself from the stress by cutting it really low. It's growing back slowly now just like my weight loss is slow.

Started out at 300 before surgery 6/5/13. Current weight is 245. Losing slow but will eventually get there. My goal is 160 but my thunder thighs needs to go first.
