I've been feeling so tired with my gym routine and having to go after work around 3 pm and not getting home till past 430 or so then barely spending time with the kids because I am tired and have no time n I have alot of running around so I decided to try to a morning class. 8 am before work and we'll ladies I think I am into it. It feels amazing that I am debt free Hahaha I've done my workout and I am actually free for the rest of the day .. i can go home early n actually see my kids 🤣 I did a body attack class and attached my chart!

Hey there! I can completely relate to what you’re going through, and I know how frustrating it can feel when the scale doesn’t budge, especially when you’re so close to a big milestone! I think it's amazing that you’ve been dedicated to your walks and keeping your steps up—it takes real commitment. And it’s okay if sometimes we have to step back a bit. It’s part of the process! About those jeans: don’t get too discouraged! Sizing can be so inconsistent, especially when comparing brands or different styles. It’s not always a reflection of your progress. I’ve found the same thing, where one pair fits perfectly, and another, even a size up, just doesn’t feel right. It’s like each pair has its own personality! I can imagine it’s hard seeing changes in some areas and not in others, but trust that these changes are happening, even if they seem slower in places like the thighs. You’re noticing progress in areas like your rings and arms—each bit adds up, and your consistency will pay off. Your body might just be holding a little extra water as you approach your period too, so hang in there! Once it passes, the scale could reflect all that hard work you’ve been putting in. You’ve got this, and it sounds like you’re handling it so well. Just remember, each day adds to your progress, even when it doesn’t feit.like it.

Great news! Hope you're feeling good..

1 kg down on the dot! 92.55 kg!! Wow I can't wait to leave the 90s! Now that's a milestone i am looking forward too

Oh yay! I used to use it but good to know if or when I go back to it! When is it ok to go back to your movements? I finally made it to the gym today and did a body compat class .. I'll attach my chart! It was a full body workout like a mix if martial arts.. excited for my weight in

Major win! Amazing! So glad you kept them! #goals

Fantastic.. maybe pack some protein snacks next time? I've been missing meals too these days but I'm also not working out .. my period was so painful this time n I had meetings during my gym times but at least my cals are good. Last night I got home late n had pcs of Filet Mignon lol same story different protein. Hopefully we can go back to routine soon

love these tips! keep them coming! and good job to all of you

Good luck tomorow and I'm praying the test does not hurt as much and the results are good 🙏 Praying for you

Look at you!!! Onederland looool at first I didn't get it 😆😆 Yesss u r doing something right for sure! We are the worst own critics One way ticket to skinnyville

It’s so understandable to feel scared and overwhelmed with all you're going through, especially when facing an unknown and potentially painful test. You did an amazing job sticking to your goals, especially during such a tough time. Choosing the chili over McDonald's was a huge win, and going straight to yoga the next morning shows just how resilient you are. I know that emotional hunger can be intense, especially when things feel so uncertain, so that strength of yours really shines. Taking a break can definitely feel like a setback, and it’s completely normal to worry about losing your rhythm—I had a similar moment when I had to pause the gym because I was sore and got a little panicked about losing momentum! But five days off won’t erase all your hard work. Think of it as giving your body the chance to fully recharge so you can come back even stronger. You’ll be back in the groove before you know it, and in the meantime, know that all of us here are cheering you on. You've got this, and we’re sending lots of love and strength your way! ❤️

Ahh today is our weekend and was at my in laws from lunch and I got comfortable with food.. had abit of rice for lunch and dinner i had lasagna and also i had a piece of cheese cake and well my stomach ain't happy. I'm chilling in the toilet!! Tbh, I like to be "punished" when I know i over did. It was a good reminder to yo eat food but don't over do it!!

it really resonates with me! I actually love setting small targets because it keeps things fun without too much pressure. I tend to expect less deep down, so I'm not as disappointed if things don’t go exactly as planned. For example, this week, I told myself I'd probably lose just 1 kg, and then it turned out to be 2.2 kg! I really believe in choosing our words carefully too—don’t say if you lose the weight; say when you lose the weight! Shifting those small things helps reinforce our mindset, making it feel like reaching the goal is just a matter of time. And great job on finding different programs to keep you excited! It’s fantastic that you’re trying new things, and it sounds like you’re setting up a routine that truly feels sustainable. You’ve got this

Here's my one-week update after making some adjustments! I've been focusing on protein-rich meals and keeping my intake under 1,000 calories, leaving a bit of room for those extra nibbles. My protein has been between 70-100 grams, and guess what, ladies? I lost 2.2 kg this week, bringing my total loss to 16 kg! I'm so thrilled—I feel leaner, lighter, and fresher, with no hunger cues at all (which feels strange, honestly). If all goes well, I’ll be out of the 90s in just two weeks, which feels like a dream come true!

Haha, I totally get that feeling! It’s like your body gives you a mini celebration with a quick drop, then goes, "Alright, let's take a break now!" 😂 But it's awesome that you’re seeing a steady loss over time—that’s the real win. And that Baritastic app sounds like a game-changer, especially with the line graph to track trends and measurements! I’ve also found keeping everything in one place super helpful instead of relying on random paper notes. Speaking of tracking, I think I might’ve had one of those "high restriction" days today. I always hear people talking about them, but I hadn’t really experienced one until now. It was so strange—I wasn’t hungry or full, just couldn’t eat much at all. I had breakfast at 11:30 a.m., and by lunch at 4 p.m., I had to force myself a bit. By 7:30 p.m., I couldn’t manage dinner at all, so I ended my day with a quick scoop of protein. Not sure if that’s what others describe, but it was definitely an off day!

Today's win! Went to the park with my 3 year old and didn't complain about being tired even once! I felt stronger and I actually played with him! I feel so much lighter 🥹 can't wait till I lose more weight and grow stronger!

Thank you for sharing your insights! I completely agree that calories alone don’t tell the whole story, especially when it comes to the quality of food we consume. I also strive to focus on whole foods and keep my intake mostly clean, limiting processed options. Interestingly, I met yet another dietitian today, and she had a completely different perspective than the first one I consulted. It left me feeling frustrated, especially since my next appointment isn’t until May. After some reflection, I decided to take matters into my own hands and stick to a plan that feels right for me. With the help of my trusted ChatGPT, we crafted a fantastic meal plan that emphasizes protein while keeping my calories between 1000-1200. I’m really excited to start this journey, especially since I’m active most days and want to maximize my results. I just wrapped up day one of the revised plan, and I’m optimistic about the changes! They’ve been suggesting I should be losing more weight this early on, so I’m determined to make this work and see the results I’m aiming for. Thanks again

HI bypassers, Can any of you or most of you share the numbers of what you should be eating 2.5 - 3 months post op? Like how many grams/oz per meal? Or how many calories total. Thanks I'd appreciate it.

Had a productive visit with my doctor today, and there's some good news as well as a few adjustments to make. She was happy with my weight loss progress so far, but made it clear that it could be better. Her main concern is the calories I'm consuming, so the goal moving forward is to cut down a bit. One key suggestion was to start considering protein snacks as meal replacements, which makes sense to keep things in check. Since these are my "honeymoon months," she emphasized that it’s essential to get this right now to avoid hitting a stall by the 6-month mark. My workouts, on the other hand, are spot-on, so the primary focus will be on tweaking meals—specifically reducing carbs and being mindful of snack choices. On the health front, I’ve started taking iron supplements and will be getting my vitamin levels checked this Sunday. However, one piece of disappointing news: the counselor is no longer available, so if I need support, I’ll have to look for external options. Overall, I'm feeling a mix of being a little down but also more motivated to fine-tune my food intake and cut back on calories. I’m determined to make the most of these critical months and maximize my progress.

It sounds like you've been on quite the journey, and your persistence through that plateau really paid off. It’s so inspiring to see how listening to your body and making those small adjustments with your diet made such a difference. It takes a lot of trust in the process and faith in yourself to try eating more when every instinct says otherwise, but it clearly worked out well for you! It's amazing to hear how your body is responding with more energy and the positive changes you’re seeing in your clothes and measurements. I’ve been going through a bit of a journey myself, having hit some frustrating moments and uncertainties with shifting to new foods post-surgery. Just like you, I’m learning to listen to my body and trust that it’ll tell me what it needs. I’m also focusing more on not letting anxiety get the best of me and staying patient with the process. Getting your steps in, adding weights, and having clear personal goals is such a strong way to take control of your health! I recently got a fitness watch, and I’m slowly working up to more focused routines too. It’s so satisfying seeing the numbers tick up and knowing you’re getting stronger day by day. I just switched to a split workout routine because I realized it fits better with what my body needs right now. The key seems to be finding what works for you, just like you've been doing. Also, it must feel fantastic to be buying clothes two sizes down! I'm excited for you—I remember not too long ago feeling that looseness in my own clothes and needing to size down. Those milestones are proof of all the hard work you’re putting in, even if the scale doesn’t always cooperate right away. It’s motivating to hear about your experience, and it’s a reminder that we’re not alone in this. Keep going, be gentle with yourself, and continue doing what feels right for you!

sorry its called "my ticker" under your profile

I don't have insurance but our company pays for all our medical the basic stuff and here everything done in the government hospitals is free! Even my surgery was. I paid 3 USD just to register my name. So that's why I am waiting to c if I can also get some counselling sessions included with my post op ...
