JUST WOW!! How long since you surgery. I am a slow loser. I am 8 months out at 60 pounds lost. But I also do not exercise as much as I should. You look amazing!

Oh no!! Not me. I still want to live ❤️ just want to live healthier. I certainly don't think icecream or a doughnut is something to lose sleep over... Maybe a whole dozen. Or a 1/2 gallon of icecream. But if I don't have something every once in a while I get depressed. So I am fine with a little here and there. My main problem was I quit everything. Quit eating right, not exercising at all... And I am a clothing designer/seamstress. So I SIT at home for work. I HAVE to make gym time. Or I get Zero exercise. Easy to gain that way ???? But I sure LOVE my job/business ???? So making gym time it is!!

That is awesome!! Great job!!!

So glad to hear from you guys ❤️ I'm still back on track and back to losing slowly. Which I am totally fine with!!! I just got back from the beach (where I RAN on the beach!!) i did sneak a hot and ready doughnut ☺️ but it was the 1st time in years and years that I didn't GAIN 5-10 pounds on vacation. Lol I actually lost 1!! I will take any neg number ???? I actually got pics of myself that I didn't feel like I had to hide ❤️ little things that are keeping me going!! Bring on my 1 year. I GOT THIS!

Thank you!!! I am officially back on track and down 5 more pounds!! A whopping 60 down now!! 40 more to go by Nov. I can do this!!! The gym is finally feeling routine rather than a chore. And eating right is actually easier that my stomach is completely healed!! Love that I can come here for the extra push I need ❤️

Thx Good Scout. I'm feeling a little better about it. Just gotta keep looking forward!

And Thx! My best friend is very fit and is a personal trainer. He is very supportive and tries his best to get me to the gym consistently. He was giving me a hard time because I was talking of going and getting icecream instead of fighting the gym crowd (I was kidding) saying I was the only person he knew that thought of bad foods while at the gym... I said um I'm a fat girl I think of bad food all the time how do u think I got this way! Lol it is definitely one of the hardest things I have ever had to overcome in my entire life. And I was a 15 year old mom... Who graduated AND I have 2 nursing degrees AND a successful children's clothing business.... And my weight struggle trumps it all!!

Awe love you! He is 15! And I also have a 20 year old. Lol Father Time has been good to me!

Well I'm 8 months out of surgery... The past 3 months I had gained 9 pounds of the 55 I had lost back.. 2 weeks ago I realized what I was doing and quickly made a change. It have successfully lost that 9 pounds again and I am going to continue on the right path. Anyone else do this? I'm ashamed of myself, but still love me. Lol I don't know what I was thinking. I would rather have 2 cookies for breakfast that 2 eggs... I still do not over eat. Just made terrible choices of what to eat!! Still remained soda free. So that is a plus. Anyways kicked it in high gear at the gym. I still think I can get the last 45 pounds off by Nov. to hit my onderland by my 1yr sleevaversary. I hope everyone is doing great, and hope to be back on for support often over the next few months!! my son did start hitting the gym with me to provide entertainment ☺️

And I also ate more than a 1/4 cup of food.

I was able to eat and tolerate salad. I would only eat 2-3 bites because U must focus on ur protein.

Ur not doing anything wrong. Your body is adjusting. Just keep going! Good Luck

I stalled at 3 weeks. And have been in almost a month long stall at 3.5-4.5 months. Finally saw a pound drop this morning putting me down 53 pounds since Oct 23rd. Hoping the scale moves quite a bit over the next week!

We all lose differently ☺️ I was sleeved Oct 23. So in 4+ months out. Only down a total of 53 pounds now. Another lady (who weighed less than I) had surgery same week and she is down 25 more pounds than me! I have stalled almost a month. But U just keep at it. I'm still thrilled with the loss I have had and keep pushing for small 5 pound goals. So 2 more I will celebrate! Then push another 5 pound goal! Just keep pushing forward. That's all we can do!

Look at you!!! So handsome! Awesome job!
