congrats on your loss

hi went to try on a sz 20 in shorts (they were kinds short so i wanted a lil more room). anyway went to the dressing room tried them on, liked it. took them off & glanced at the tag it was a sz 16. my first time getting in a sz 16 since high school. well of course i was happy but didnt buy them, went with a shorter pair instead. yea

Ok so we are always talking about our dates, pre-op diets etc etc that I needed a break for just a minute. So fill in the blank.. I'll be glad when I can........ It can be anything from fitting into your favorite sz 10 jeans to finally getting to ride the roller coaster....comfortably. Let's share and have fun with this. So I'll be glad when I can........

this is just what i needed to read congrats on the new you

great job and good luck on the 10 more

hey amy you are so right a pounsd lost is a pound healthier. i think i have been too busy enjoying this new weight loss that i just got caught up in it all. i honestly cant remember being in the 250s so im enjoying it...a little too much. i need to get back on track too because 250 was not my goal weight when i started. its good but not good enough to truly enjoy life.

count me in for 20lbs by labor day.....going to NY for labor day so would love to be lighter for all the extra walking

hey one thing i can say is that i definitely struggle. im here right now because i have my nieces here and they wanted donuts. so i got them of course and i knew i had to come here to keep from eating them. i know we all struggle and although i have lost a good amount of weight im still not where i want or should be. i look at other people SW and i think how i wish that could have been my SW. i have to agree with lisa though, had i been on any other diet im sure i would have gained it all back by now. i try to look at it like that too. i started a 28 now i can get in 20s and some 18s. i would love for us to be that great support system we were in the beginning. most of us were here everyday counting down the days to our new life. lets just try to see the positives in our loss thus far and support each other more than we have been.

im dealing with the same thing right now,,,since its been awhile for you did you start feeling better

i have mirena iud, good for 5 years, light to no period for me. no weight gain

im still here waco banders

crackers huh, never thought to eat those instead of bread. thanks

good luck to you all

i have been daily for years and i focus way too much on it. if i dont like the number it could mess up my whole day. i dont think i have ever went longer than 2 days without checking so this will be something. day 1 and i already miss it lol.

i have decided to only weigh once a week, this will be a challenge....

bummed....got a slight unfill and gained some weight...im not changing my goal and i plan to still come as close to 245 as possible.

im really glad i ran across this.....such great advice

tori i feel just like you do and im almost a year out. i still struggle but its a learning process. i love walking too and i have recently started back walking instead of being in the gym everyday, i need to combine the two so i dont get too bored. you should check out the food/recipes threads on here for meal ideas too. it might help to try something new each week to allow for more choices. i feel like i stand in my own way too, we have prob all been there. this really is about changing your mindset. hang in there and keep coming here for extra support.

heck yeah it counts....it counted when we had to buy sizes up.....all of the hard work, count it. besides it's a 6, who needs to sit down show that body off

congrats on the loss, i felt the saw way when i made it to the 250's...and everything else under 290 lol keep it up

i agree....frequent trips to bathroom due to the liquids no diarrhea though

hey....congrats on the loss so far im in waco, happy to see more cen-tex bandits on here

5'6 around 160-170 will be nice but just getting under 200 will be great!!!!, im curvy now and i want to stay that way. once i like what i see i will know its right

these are all great, i love it

im happy...10 more pounds til 100lbs lost.
