  2. Five months out (already)! 2 pounds from onderland, and 7 pounds from goal. After i reach 195, i may keep losing until my body adjusts, but ill just have to roll with it, just dont want to get too thin since im almost 6'0. But what a problem to have! God is good!

  3. Only 12 pounds till i hit my target and i cant believe it! However i am worried. After i hit my goal, i really dont know how to keep from continuously losing weight and i dont want to get too thin. I dont want to be smaller than 190 because im about 6 ft. Also since i have lost close to 140 im starting to get plenty of loose skin..considering the amount of lost weight and my workouts its not too bad, but very noticeable to me. My breasts are through. I am very grateful to God for getting me to this point, i cant believe the weight loss portion of it is coming to the end and ill be hitting maintenance. I remember looking in the mirror two years ago at my heaviest of 345 feeling like there was no way i could get myself back down to a reasonable weight, but i knew i had no choice and now look what God can do! On my own i couldnt have done it, God gave me the strength and courage when i had none.

  4. Hi everyone! Hope all is well! For many of us this will be our first Thanksgiving with our surgeries, so lets be good and remember why we did this! I am four months out and not gonna lie, now that i can eat what i want, the challenge is real sometimes, but im still losing, im 17 pounds from my goal weight, and 12 pounds till i hit onderland! I am very blessed and i feel soo good. May everyone have a wonderful holiday!!

      Thanks you guys. You all are my inspirations! I know I have it too, that old doubt is trying to creep in but you know what we do with that.... Happy holidays!

  5. Yesterday i celebrated my 34th birthday and i basically just reflected on my life and how much i have been evolving and changing. Life has had it where i all of a sudden have been running into alot of people from my past. Some have seen ginuinely happy for my growth, some have greeted me with fake smiles. Some have actually frowned at me probably not knowing that their mouth was saying one thing, but their face was saying how they really felt. Some people have asked what i have been doing to lose weight, stating that im so skinny now, they can hardly recognize me. People are a trip, and i thank God i am a very to myself person so negativity doesnt come my way often, or quite bother me. I am in my last year of nursing school and down 125 pounds and all praise goes to God, nobody else not even myself. It has not been my strength at all because i know i would have fallen without my faith. Just everyone, love yourself in spite of people and their reactions. Just know when you grow for the better, many will not be happy for you.

  7. Cleared to eat whatever like two weeks ago, but im still sticking to the basics. I dont want to get sick so im not trying any new foods yet but man do i want some lettuce! Also had a thought in my mind that i really wanted and missed going to a buffet ha, those days are memories! I havent figured out how to eat out so i dont, but im having an itch to go out and do something, anything! But im so used to it revolving around food so dont know quite what to do. I guess i dont have the time anyway

      I eat out a lot and it gets easier the more I do it. If a new place, I look up the menu ahead of time. I am learning how to modify entrees, and I order soup or appetizer. I am just glad I grew up on leftovers and like them. :-)

      I know what you mean. Just eating with others seems odd when I have this tiny plate with only a little bit on it. I have heard a great way to go out is to go to a tapas place, where you can order several small dishes of things to share with friends. Then everyone is sharing and passing things and no notice is paid to what you have - and you can try a variety.

      That's a good idea about the tapas place! And thanks for the replies! I used to love leftovers but now since surgery I pretty much like all fresh food, nothing that's been sitting. Never thought I'd see the day I'd become picky. And yes soup is an awesome idea too, I just am kind of burnt out on it right now, I ate so much in the beginning. Its all trial and error. I'm looking forward to my first Thanksgiving ha ha this will be interesting!

    Have lost about 30 pounds since surgery and I will be 8 weeks Wednesday. That means i can go on a regular diet but i will still be taking it extremely slow. i have started writing down everything i eat and calories are around 800 or sometimes closer to 900 but never over that, i just felt like i wasnt getting in enough calories at first, and my fat stays at or below 30 grams and my protein for a day can range from 60 to 80. i still dont drink two liters of water a day but i am working on it. Also i was working out but I am in nursing school and i swear i barely have time to even breathe but i am trying to see how i will work some exercise in. Other than that i will say i think i am doing great. There are mostly good days and of course a few that could be better and i am finally starting to get some compliments from people FINALLY after 111 pounds lost people notice! I find that crazy but nobody ever said anything to me about my weight until now. I do not regret the surgery one bit and im glad cause they opened up a krispy kreme not too far from me and honey i would have been all up in there lol, now i cant and im so grateful.
