There is a light trust me.... We have all been there...afraid that this to isn't going to work. It will work....it's working now....the hard part is over and once u go to regular foods it just gets easier. No one understands because they haven't been through it. I was freaking out cause felt like I should be at 140 now but realizing its a slow race but I will be successful.

Ignore them....that's what I did when my aunts attempted to say anything to me. I do what's best for me...point blank and the period. Your going to do great. He'll if it was that easy to lose weight we all would be thin. I've been thin and I've been large and I needed help. Don't be ashamed to admit that u need more than what ur capable of doing on your own.

Do you hope to get smaller than your goal? Why or why not?

I would absolutely love to go to size 4...I love being small.....years ago Was able to get to 6 and wanted to go smaller. how long did it take for you to go to 0. -
Don't worry, I have two different scales as well. Both say something different. The sleeve is a tool and be grateful for that pound a week..... It will be at least 52 pounds for the year. Plus ur going to loss way more than that at first. Our numbers are similar I started at 242 and her it is 8 1/2 months later and I'm down to 179....it's been hard but worth every second. Don't worry as time goes on you will be able to eat more than ur currently eating. I eat abt 700-800 cal per day.

I keep Phillips milk of magnesia in my refrigerator....if not It will be every 7 days for me.....i get the big bottle and take the plastic tip for dosage and fill it to the top. It will work within 2 hours. I do this twice a week -
OMG....the protein shakes and 64 ounces of water did the trick. I went from 181.4 to 179.6.....finally this morning. Also I was added inch splash of cranberry to my water I cut that out as well.

Cant get out of the 80's !

Ok everyone....I have finally hit 179 on my digital scale. My other scale shows 3 pounds less but I go by the digital. Over the past week I have upped my water to 64 ounces. 1 protein shake per day and one protein per day. Had rib eye steak. Less than 20 grams of carbs and it finally worked. Lost 2.8 pounds. I am so excited to see the 70's -
Also I rarely feel hungry but I eat because afraid to not have enough protein and get the dreaded hair loss....yet the amount I can eat is less when it's dense protein....very weird......I will up my calories tomorrow
-
Well today I had protein protein and more protein.....64 ounces of water and no carbs....let's see if I can drop something by end of week.
-
I haven't been eating all the way right however I keep my calories below 800....I started back on protein shakes today. Let's see how this goes....we can do this....I need to reach goal.....I'm starting to feel like a failure.

Omg.....I am so glad to see others going thru this.... I am stuck between 182 - 180 for the last 2 weeks..... I have only lost 60 pounds and it's been 32 weeks. Afraid I'm not going to make goal within year......started back on liquids today....am going to try only this for 10 days and see what happens -
Every single day.....3 to 4 times a day.....I only record weight I see between 8-9 am. That's when my weight adjusts from the night before.
