Have you tried the Celebrate brand chewables? Those are the only ones I like.

I'm in NE GA, closer to Athens. About 30 mins from Dekalb

I pretty much live here lol

DO. NOT. WEIGH. TWICE. A. DAY. the end

A friend of mine had surgery 18 months ago at 480 and now he's 195. Keep up the good work!

@@GoAllTheWeigh oh girl me too! And my advice isn't only to @@eobier either. It's to myself! haha

Tammy, I'm on pins and needles hoping for a positive update about your latest surgery. Sending you positive love and light!

@@GoAllTheWeigh LOL true, but one day when the honeymoon phase is over and you're downing that caffeine a couple times a day you may wonder why the hunger is back full force. Take a stroll through the veterans board... it happens

Keep in mind that caffeine is known to spark hunger.

Mine was straight up black and white. I don't just want this surgery. I HAVE TO HAVE this surgery. My body is failing me by the minute and this weight HAS TO come off. It's not like I have a tumor though, there isn't a doctor saying "Do this or die", but the reality is, I will die if I don't do this. Either figuratively or physically. Granted, I had a case of the worries and dreads for a brief period of time, but I'm totally over it. I'm so ready for this. But, it's a very personal choice. If you doubt your ability to even stick to a program post surgery, you probably are not ready. Your mind and heart have to be sold on this 100%.

I looooooove her. I follow her on FB and Pinterest and her blog. Her stuff is amazing.

I think we should all definitely stay in touch. For those of us that haven't had surgery it will be good to hear from those of you that have and see how you're progressing. My surgery is Dec. 18th

@@gowalking Have you ever read Eat, Pray, Love? This might be a good time to use that book to reflect. One of my favorite quotes from that book is "Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be". Sound harsh, but I was once where you are. Not with my weight, I'm sure that will come, but with other matters related to relationships. If you haven't read it, please do.

@@Rogofulm mmmmm you said muffin... Oh well, no more for me

I was listening to my morning radio show today and they were talking about things on their bucket list. I realized that as I approach surgery in December, losing this weight for GOOD has always been my #1 bucket list thing. At 40, I grieve that I didn't do this sooner, but I'm happy that at 40, I (Lord willing) still have lots of time to finally begin living the life I always wanted. That includes other things on my bucket list. I'd love to go zip lining (even though I'm terrified of heights) I'd love to walk at least a portion of the Appalachian Trail, I would like to do a 5k, I would love to ride a roller coaster again, I would like to travel more, I might even go skydiving! What's on your bucket list?

Congrats! I hope mine is approved fast!

Get some smooth move tea. Everyone swears by it!

My surgery is Dec. 18th. I'm taking off the 17th through Jan 5th.
