Fatty McFatster

I have suffered from major depression and anxiety most of my life. I've been on quite a few different meds to help, but not one of them has ever helped. However, in the last 2 months since surgery I have been eating less and exercising much more…and guess what? My depression has been much better.

I guess we are all going to win bc I'm pretty sure I also have the winning ticket. Lol. When I win I plan on starting a charity and giving a lot of it away.

I just want to thank Alex and the BariatricPal team for all they have done over the years. This site is truly a blessing to me and countless others. This site helps keep me focused and motivated, but more importantly has helped keep me alive!!! 2 months ago I couldn't walk to the mailbox without severe back and knee pain as well as becoming quite winded. But now, only 2 months later, I am able to walk up to 9.5 miles per day. Alex and BariatricPal, you are truly a Godsend. Thanks for everything!!!

I agree wholeheartedly!!

Great job!!! I'm down 8 pant sizes and 2 shirt sizes. Doesn't it feel wonderful?!?!?!

Congrats!! You are doing awesome!!

I am now at 306.6 which is an 8 pound loss for the week. Can't wait for Twonderland!!!

That is AMAZING!!!Great job!! Thank you!! Great job to you as well. I know it's tough to find time to exercise especially when working so much overtime.

I obliterated my goal again this week and got in 8.9 hours of exercise.

Great job!!! Well done my friend!! I have trouble getting my water in as well on top of my Vitamins.

Thank you so much!! That is very kind of you to say.

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I am doing well. Just trying to continue eating right and get in my exercise each day. How are you??? Looks like you hit Onederland!!! That is awesome news!!!

I am upping my exercise goal to 3.5 hours per week.Yes! Awesome! I'm going to join you. I'd like to get in 5 hours of exercise a week up from 3. So far this week I've done 3 and I'm down to 209.4!That is awesome!!! Congrats!! Today I walked 3 times for a total of over 15,000 steps and 7 miles.

I'm with you. I can't hardly stand the taste of my chewable multivitamin and calcium. So, to be honest...I only take them about once per week. I know that I need to take them every day, but it's difficult when you don't like the taste. And I have trouble buying a different brand since I spent a lot of money on these.

I am upping my exercise goal to 3.5 hours per week.

Being anxious is normal, but you got this!!! Good luck!!!

Congrats!! That is awesome!!!

I did well the first 3 weeks after surgery and then stalled for the next 2 weeks.Did it pick up again after?Yes it has started to pick up again. I also started exercising more which helped as well.

My doc says to get 60g protein a day, which I find very difficult to reach without protein shakes.

My goal is 2.5 hours of exercise per week. Well, I shattered that goal and exercised over 4.5 hours this week. Yay!!

I'm in again as well. Really enjoyed the last one. Thanks for taking this over Sarah. Much appreciated!! I'll go ahead and post my weights... Starting Weight: 314.6 Goal Weight: 295.0

That is awesome news!! CONGRATS everyone!!!

Hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy New Year in 2016. May you each accomplish all of your weight loss goals!! Final weigh in: 314.6 (Wasn't as much as I wanted, but I'm happy to have lost weight through the holidays).
