I'm 60 lbs down after month stall eating much better need to get back into exercise not doing so good with Protein haven't had no issue really just weak some days then some days so much energy

Yesterday I was able to decorate the Christmas tree and mantle without resting or directing my husband on where to put things from the sofa. I've lost 50 lbs since October 1st and the big NSV is that my lower back pain is just about gone.
I never would have been able to be on my feet so much. My poor husband has had to decorate under my direction for about the past 3 years. I am so happy!

Oh okay. Thanks for the info and I guess we will just have to ride it out. If I had to choose between having my hair and losing this weight, I would pick losing this weight and then just rock a wig!!!! LOL

Totally with you on the baggy butt and legs of the pants, as well as the Hair loss. My hair is everywhere it feels like! Yikes. I do have a lot, but am definitely going to start showing the loss at some point soon. Ah well. I made it up 7 flights of stairs to work this morning and would have never been able to do that before even with all that pretty hair lol

Lamb saag (lamb pieces with spinach, spices, and cream).

I'm trying to laugh about it and not let it get me down. Things are gonna change, ya know? Just wish they'd move along! lol

I've gone from a size 30W to a 14W.

Finally broke down and got some new clothes tonight. Size 22/24. Two months ago I was a 30/32. And I look SO MUCH SMALLER in clothes that fit! It's also been years since I have been able to find more than a tshirt in a brick-n-mortar store that fit and looked nice on me. I almost went overboard lol.

Bought some new dresses yesterday... Last known size was a 4-6... New dresses.... Size 0 !!! I've never been a freaking 0 EVER... It feels amazing!!

I ran 2 miles this morning. Pretty pumped up about it, as I was shooting for just one but kept on running (felt a bit like Gump). At the beginning of the year, I could barely walk a mile. This has been a life changer!

I got my first "You've lost a lot of weight!" remark at work today. YAY!

Added a new profile pic because the photo galleries are down. We had to get head shots at my new job for the company website. This isn't the headshot, just me at my desk after they put on makeup, which I never wear. Love the job and love the energy I get from things falling nicely into place.
I was awarded the "Spirit" award at work during the month of September for the bike commute challenge at work. I have a 20 mile ride one-way into work each day and I hadn't been on a bike in 20 years! They gave it to me because I embodied the spirit of the challenge and inspired others to ride. What an honor!

I only had a few clothing goals going into this. One was that I could wear knee high riding boots. I bought 4 pairs and then returned 3. The thrill was in zipping them over my jeans.
Another was that I wouldn't wear the same dresses as my elderly overweight aunts. I'm 30 they are 60 it's been embarrassing since my early 20s. I bought an Xl dress I'll be wearing to a party on the 23 and I look hot I must say. well my husband said it too lol
I'm in my aunts size 14 jeans from a size 22/24. Her closet was cheaper than buying this phase of clothes I need.
And I took my grams Xl peacoat rather than replacing my 3xl coats for one that prob wouldn't fit next year anyway.
Loving life, this decision and all of you!!

Please tell him this – “Whilst being rude and making people feel like crap when we were at school, you obviously weren’t doing much learning. Your first sentence is correct.
However, in your second sentence, the word should be ‘you’re’ (an abbreviation of you are) not ‘your’.
What does ‘yeah for you’ even mean? Are you congratulating me or is this an affirmation of my very existence?
You do not start sentences with ‘but’ as it’s a linking word (it’s the same with ‘and’).
Can’t has an apostrophe between the ‘n’ and the ‘t’.
I am perfectly calm, just sharing my news with my ‘friends’ on Facebook which I hear is a perfectly normal thing to do.
Now, away with you and learn 1) some manners and 2) some grammar … oh yes, and as you said ‘Lol’."

So excited because I just went shopping for the first time since surgery. I bought a size 18 jeans and XL tops. I was in a 24 pant and 2/3xl depending in the top. I know I won't be in this size for long but needed some clothes and I'm happy with my progress!

I hear you, Mz Shay. WLS community folks I've always thought to be some of the kindest and caring. However, lately I have seen some real self righteous and rude stuff said. Sometimes I wonder if they are actually trolls. But you know what I do when I see a pattern of someone posting like that? I report them to the admin. They can take their attitude somewhere else!

So, back on topic, what I heard over and over and OVER was that I'd never be able to eat again and I'd end up anorexic and so emaciated i'd be unhealthy. Obviously that's not an issue.
Now to the other issue that is popping up on here, please try to keep on topic. If you have a personal problem with someone take it private OR make your own thread and rant and rave and call each other names there. I considerate it inappropriate to hijack someone else's posts for your private issues that frankly I don't want to read. (And I wanted to read this thread, I find it a very interesting question)
