mental battles are tough for me. I am stalling right now at 9 months out. I find myself wanting to snack. especially at home in the evenings. mental mental mental.... I have a relationship with eating. it is a battle I have always fought. I am happy to say I am winning the war, but lose a battle here and there. I am not sure if the war will ever end, but I am willing to fight it. Happy that nothing makes me sick and I can eat whatever I want, but on that same note, it makes me sad.... I wish I threw up every potato chip, chocolate, candy.... back to kicking ass. that is all we can do. make a mistake and get back on track. (i.e. my intense gym workout this morning) I am going to get that scale moving again! close to goal. want to be there by my surgiversary!

@@*Lexie* (not sure if you are a dog lover...) or this may be you....

I imagine you reacting like this?

funny..... great weight loss too. 6 months and over 130 pounds lost. amazing!

Mexico??? there are several threads and a section on just mexico. Good luck... I hope it can happen for you.

Read that again @@Mooseknuckle ...... 33 pounds in 4 weeks..... that is amazing. remember it is a marathon not a sprint. You are doing just fine!

Welcome and good luck.

I was an over weight alcoholic. I was faced with a dilemma, die young because of my obesity or lose weight so I can grow old with my family. No brainer, I quit drinking (for the most part... details later), had the surgery. I am 9 months out today and down 116 pounds. I feel great. life is great. I was given a second chance. I do occasionally drink red wine. Bourbon was my daily vice. I have had it once since surgery (on my birthday). Don't let booze control your life. I know you are 21 and it seems like a huge part of your life, but that will wear off. I am not sure of your stats (height/weight) but you are young, this will give you an amazing rebirth. You can still go out and party. Yeah, you can drink. moderation is key. I am glad you found this site. read on here. sooooo much info. it motivated me to do the surgery and has made me successful. good luck!!!

I hope it is moving for you again. sometimes I just want to throw my scale out the window... stalled for the last 3 weeks. my first real stall. I won't let it get me down. we shall prevail.

Interesting... gotta go google a keto-stick. hope you find some good info.

congrats!!!

I loved the fuzzy navel flavor. shake it and let it rest if you must. did you order a variety pack to find a flavor you like? search on here and you can find the phone number to call and they will send you 15 flavors to try. take notes.

June 2nd now... how are things?

curious how those handles will hold up after a few uses. . . . . . great work. thanks for sharing.

Awesome work!!! congrats. that is amazing

Please add me. sorry for late add. I just found this post. first weigh in is 208 (yesterday) goal weight is onederland 199.

@@trulyamazingtoo I try to always drastically mix up my routines... I don't want my body to get use to what I am doing and adapt to it. taking a week of from the gym is an excellent idea!! I have also done fasting days (keeping calories under 600), massive workouts, and cheat days (eat whatever!!!). keep up the awesome work!

Nevermind.... found them.. and the blog too!!!

Pictures would make this thread even better!!! (I am only on the first page, gotta keep reading.....

sub'd for results... now over to your food thread with similar title....

It is not always important to fully understand the answer to all of life's mysteries... input, output, eat right, be active. the recipe for success (99% of the time, as nothing is a 100% certain.) my scale hasn't moved in 2 weeks. (a first for me) but I have been working out harder and lifting very hard. I know my body is changing and getting more fit even though the scale does not show that progress.

good luck. who is your doc?

SE Portland Metro Area.

lots of great foods mentioned above. lots of options. I rotate through items as I get sick of them, in a couple months they taste good again!!! good luck
