we should all keep intouch, since the begining ive had problems with portions hence why i was 320 pounds hahaha but as u get your fills the restriction is better and u cant eat as much

ive been judged my whole life as well, being in a family of 4 girls and being the only obese one dident help

trust me thats what clicked for me i thought i was making healthy choices and eating good with leonard ( yes ive named my band lol) but once i started checking the calories no onder i wasent losing fast lol

i had the same situation my best friend i was so affraid to tell her, it was like 2 or 3 months after surgery when i finnaly told her, i was scared becuase i had heard comments she had maid about other people being lazy and such, she suprised me tho and said she was proud of me for taking this step

yes, bandster hell lol, where u dont have restriction and u can just eat lol thats why i only lost 60 pounds the first year, Maddie do you log your food? that has really helped me, Alex what is your name on mfp ill add ya

well i new i needed to make a change, so i reserched it and talked to my doctor, my mom went to the surgery with me she and one of my sisters are the only ones that know, i dident tell the others, i know their will be negativity and i dont need that crap lol my journey has been good, slow very slow in the beginning but once i started logging my food on my fitness pal i have went from 320 down to 205, i am six pounds away from saying im in the 100's i cant wait lol
