Thanks Wanda!

Hi...I'm 52 and I may be losing a little slower than someone that's younger and I stall often BUT I am steady with my weight loss and couldn't be happier and pleased.
I keep in the back of my mind what one of the posters @Matt Z stated and shared in one of his earlier post, it's the big picture. That post really left a good impression on my mind. I am so okay with my rate of weight loss because in 12-18 months I am CERTAIN that I will be at goal and living my best life. 💪
You will be just fine as long as you stick to your plan and try to move as much as you can 😉

@TeeMillz
welcome newbie
i had my sleeve one month before i turned 58 years OLD
I will Be 65 years YOUNG in January!!
it wasn't harder for ME to accomplish my weight loss
maybe a little slower - that is just me
never compare your successes to others, whether
they be a youngun, or an old fart like us?🤣
good luck Friday

Could be slower,could be sustained longer, but at 50+.60+70+ we are no longer required to be sprinters, besides in bifocals it's hard to run anyway. I plan to be a successful 🐢 turtle one foot in front,of the other🐾easing down the path to Good Health.

Some people punish an eye for an eye, this time it's going to be bun for a bun! (As mild a joke I could manage. I deleted several in my head. Ya'll go get me banned!)
My proudest moment in 2018 was finally seeking mental help. Everyday is a struggle, some days more than others and recovery doesn't move in a straight line. BUT I feel healthier both physically and mentally better than I ever have. I never would have been able to achieve the weight loss on my own that I have so far if I had not reached out for professional help. In fact I'd be compost (Future goals, get cremated and thrown in a garden). Instead I've got decades more SINNING to get down too! My Pride or More time. I made a pretty OK choice

I think my proudest 2018 moment was when I hit Onederland🎆🎆🎆

Inspiring! Congratulations on reaching your dec 31st goals. January goals and smaller sizes to come.

Hey Loves! No need to covert kilos or stones to lbs if it's a hardship (I promise I'm smart enough to know how despite my constant bewailings lol)
Use the system you are most comfortable with!

This is technically my 3rd day, but I will do 2 today to catch up with the rest of you peeps!!
#3 2018 Goals (doesn't matter cuz they're history) a. Not to die b. To do whatever it took to get RNY
#4 Proudest 2018 Moment: Making 1st Goal. It sounds cray to be fixated so much on a number, but it's what that number (150lbs) represented. I hadn't seen it since high school and honestly never thought I would see it again. At that weight I was able to live freely, and what I thought was a healthy lifestyle. I had very very few limits and even though I felt like I was "fat"--cuz come on...it's high school. We all thought we were fat! I didn't let my body image or weight hold me back from participating in life. So I felt like if I could hit 150lbs again, then this surgery (and I) really did "work it" to make it back.
I'm back! This was my goal #1 photo:


Oh, any today I'm back to my ticker weight. It's official. Fatsgiving/Christmas/New Year gain is gone! Wooohooo!

I am in too! I wanted to post yesterday, but I had to translate kilos to lbs and I wrote it down on a paper but then I left home and forgot the paper so I am a bit late but I will post all my details from the second of January!

My photo is from the 2nd of January .
HW : 205 kilos/ 452 lbs
SW : 185 kilos/ 408 lbs
CW: 161,9 kilos/ 356,9 lbs

Goal weight for end of January 150 kilos (I wish :p) /331 lbs

Happiest moment in 2018 well it was on the 31st of December when I reached the lightest weight I was for the past at least 5 years... maybe even 10 years !
I am fitting to all my clothes in my wardrobe (including these that were not fitting me for many years) and I have to start making some of them smaller because they look so big on me.

I will go to enroll myself to the swimming pool today, would love to start swimming again, and I also started some small weight training at home.
I love seeing the weight go down almost effortlessly... last time I was around this weight was because I was going to the gym every day and I started piling them back the day I stopped it (from depression).

Proudest 2018 moment: worked really hard to lose weight over 2018. In Feb I had a bariatric appointment to discuss possible revision surgery and was 143 kilos / 315 lbs. Worked really hard even with dodgy lapband that either had no effect when too lose or terrible reflux whenever it was tightened and by October got down to 127.5 / 281 lbs for revision surgery. Every pound was hard won I tell ya. So proudest moment was when I got on plane to go to Belgium for my surgery and the seat belt fit without an extender. I was so delighted and happy! First time in decades I hadn't needed to ask for an extender.

Proudest 2018 moment(s)
There were many but these two stood out because I had proof I could share (it is a photo sharing style Challenge)

OK, I'm in! Posting a bit late as I've been traveling. Here's my stats:
I'm 4.5 mo postop bypass and my current weight is 235; down from 321. I'm losing more slowly now and reverting to some bad habits.
I've been doing well with my Water goals and exercise goals. My goals for this challenge are to cut out refined sugars and carbohydrates, stop snacking constantly and get back to defined Keto meals and IF.
Pic coming soon...

Hey there, peeps!
3. 2018 Goals:
Goal weight: 140 pounds (less if my body says so...130-135 would be my college weight) Get back into my goal clothes. I never made it to goal with the band, but truly believe I can with the sleeve. Interestingly, I have great clothes in the mid-range/still fat (where I settled with my band), but will happily donate those clothes...when I get back in them (5-10 more pounds)...kind of addicted to clothes...love jeans...just counted, have 53 pair...WTF?! Who does that? I promise I am not a hoarder. Breast reduction/lift and brachioplasty.

You guys...
January is going to be 🔥🔥🔥

I'm in. I'll have to figure out how to get a before pic on here.
Surgery status- 9 months post op today
Stalled
Current weight is 185
Goal weight is 140
My 2018 goals are to get on track and stay focused on losing weight and getting to maintenance weight, spend less time on my phone and more time with my boys and husband. Be kinder to nature and the earth.
My January goals are to start losing weight again and stop with excuses.

Day 3: 2018 goals. I didn't really have any except to get the surgery which, yay, I did. I'm not a big goal setter usually, I'm a fly by the seat of my pants, make it up as I go along type of gal.

But on an upbeat note, that tea party looks adorable!!! I wish I had a granny like you! (And the bread looks very small on the cucumber sammys...how bad could it be?) The cookie and potato roll however, we're going to have to beat you. Bend over...;) *snic* Go sleep girl! ((hugs))
