  1. I don't recall having any real stalls but I also don't weigh that often so I wouldn't really know that for sure. I've noticed that when I do weigh now it's not as dramatic so now that I'm closer to goal I have to really work for it.
  2. The face changes a lot!! I think the worst part of my body would be my arms! They do have some looseness to them that I HATE and my boobs shrunk, obviously not your issue...my stomach isn't "great" but I've lost 90+ lbs and have also had 3 c-sections so it was already shot. Hold on and I will add a picture of my stomach before and after,....
  3. Well Im a girl but I started out at 267 I'm 5'8 and now, last time I checked I was 169. Still a work in progress. I'm 8 months post op.
  4. Good luck! Don't stress! It gets easier

  7. The cost is crazy! I have Federal BCBS and only had to pay 560 for everything but the bill to insurance was $38,000. Wow! I have a new luxury car for my stomach!!
  8. I'm not LOSING weight, I'm getting RID of it. I have no intentions of finding it again
  9. No, not everyone. Most.

    I forgot to mention after not wanting to leave the house for so long now I've planned a trip with the kiddos to Colorado starting Thursday for a full week! I've planned a rafting trip, ziplining, hiking!!! The amount of stuff I want to do now is just crazy! I can't stand to sit in the house any longer!! It's like I'm trying to make up for all my fat years where I was to ashamed to get out and do anything. I'm so excited you just have no idea, I may drown out there but dang it I will be out in the world!!!

      Mine started falling out the week after my 3rd month anniversary. It noticeably slowed down in my 7th month. I now have all these little fluffy short hairs around my head. I'm hopeful it will come back in given time. Scary, though, when it's happening.

    But with that being said I mainly stuck with refried beans and ricotta cheese bake. They really are good though.
