What are gummies? I realize they're breast implants but I've never heard of gummies.

Thanks Alex.

My diabetes doctor told me that I wouldn't need any insulin after surgery.

15 so far. I have about 2 1/2 months to go before surgery. Hope to lose 25+ by surgery date.

Try reading "50 Shades of Grey". Got my wife cranking. Lol

Just curious, but why is it that I see veterans that choose not to have a profile pic? Seems like once you reach your goal weight, or close to it, that you would be proud of how you look and want to post a profile pic, even before & after pics. Maybe some people want to keep their identity secret. I can fully understand why someone that has not lost their weight would not want to post a pic. I guess, when I read a post from someone, I want to be able to see what they look like. Makes everything a little more personal. By the way; if you're one of the people that chooses not to post a pic, I'm not trying to pick on you, I'm just curious.

I suffer from depression too. My advice would be to get some exercise if you're not already. That alone will make you feel some better. Are you on medications? If so; be sure to take them like you're supposed to. You may want to contact your doctor to get your meds adjusted. Get out of the house some. It helps. If you don't have one already; find someone that you can lean on. Sometimes we just need to feel loved. Speak positively. Say "I feel great" over and over again. Soon your brain will start to believe it. And finally, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Do not let it get the best of you. Give it all you've got. You haven't come this far to give up now. Hang in there. You've got this!

I'm pre-op so I'm showing my fat self too. LOL. I understand it's not all fat shame driven.

Excellent job.

Good luck.

I know that it is somewhat different, but I dip tobacco. I've done it since I was 12 years old (35 years). I found a non-tobacco, non-nicotine dip called BACC OFF. At first I started dipping one dip of the non-nicotine dip and then three with nicotine. I'm now at three dips of non-nicotine and then one with nicotine. I'll be out of regular dip in less than three weeks. When I'm out, I'm done. Usually, when I make a change, I do it cold turkey, but this time I'm weaning my self off it. There is a website for BACC OFF. Hopefully this will help someone out there. Dana

1. Being able to put socks and shoes on without getting out of breath. 2. Not being afraid that I'm going to sit in a chair and it break with me in public. 3. Getting rid of my fat pad around my privates. 4. Buying trendy clothes instead of settling for what's available in my size. 5. Not having man boobs and feeling comfortable with having my shirt off at the beach. 6. Having a cute lady sneak a second look at me. 7. Being able to make love without getting extremely out of breath. 8. Knowing that my wife thinks I'm attractive and not just telling me that to be nice. 9. Not being thought of as lazy or dirty because I'm fat. 10. No more aches and pains. There are many more but these are the first ones I thought of. Dana

Great job.

AMAZING! You are so pretty. You could be a model.

We have almost exactly the same stats. I'm unsure of what my goal weight should be so I'm going to set my goal for 215 and adjust as needed when I approach that weight. If I'm happy with myself at 225 when I get there, I'll stay. If not, I'll lose some more. I figure I'll be considered pretty much a god in the ladies eyes anywhere in the vicinity of my goal so I'm not worried. lol

Amazing!

Wow, you look great.

If you grill it, be sure to not overcook it. It makes a huge difference in the taste and texture.

I'll just say it bluntly. You need to get your head screwed on straight and forget about this other man. The man you have has put up with you for 21 years. You took vows to this man and he to you. You know that what you are doing is wrong; so stop it!

Great job. Let's see pics.

Jay, My private message capabilities are not working right now. I've sent in a report about it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Dana
