Hey!! Just wanted to say hi and WELCOME!!! We have very similar starting and goal weights.. My doc wants me at around 220-200.... So, let's keep in touch!! Best wishes!

Hey Sister Sleeve! How are things going with you? I had two periods of no weight loss and wow - it was tough getting past those points. I'm down 49.8 and feeling so much better but there are a few little changes in the past month. I get hungry - really after 3 hours and no food. And - my stomach growls - which didn't happen at all the first two months. Oh well - I never think about my weight like I used to - I know it will come off and just keep doing what I'm doing. Love you kiddo - Reb

I GAINED 0.4 LBS!!

I must be the only one who cant figure out how to add the weight loss ticker! I go to the Factory site and all I see to download is for the android?? Confused.

Anyone notice people treat you differently since you lost a significant amount of weight?

for the first time in my adult life I didnt gain any weight for the holidays. I actually lost 2 pounds! hurray for the sleeve!

I'm scared I may get too skinny. I have never been one who wanted to weight less than 130. I'm hoping my weight loss stops at about 135...

Hi, I am getting my surgery on thursday, I am nervous and excited for the results all at the same time. I was looking at your progress pics, you look great! Job well done. I was wondering if you had an excessive amount of loos skin after all the weight you lost?

Enjoyed the holidays too much! I've gained a pound! Hahaha! Last year I gained like 10 pounds! Time to hit it hard tomorrow!

Starting freak out. Hospital called, went over everything n surgery will last 3 - 4 hrs. Friday I will find out the time of surgery. Pure liquids only on Monday, great more weight loss

back to work today-- was a little nervous about weighing in! thought I gained a pound or 2 from all the christmas munching but I was down 2 pounds!!!!!!

70.8 pounds gone as of this morning. That's 20% of my body weight from start of my pre-op diet and 38.9% of the weight I want to lose to get to goal!!

I didn't really plan on doing the gym thing until weight loss slowed down on it's own so I never asked my doctor how long before I could really start to work out.... How long did you guys wait (totally spelled that weight the first time haha) after surgery to do more then just walk? I'd love to walk outside but it is just so cold here in NY!

Feeling BLESSED Holiday season! I got the surgery I needed to have a heathier, happier life!! Hoping everyone had a Merry Christmas, and that we all are successful this New Year 2012 on our weight loss resolutions!!

twoboysandagirl, If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight and height? I'm trying to compare myself to other because I should be getting sleeved in january and I want to know an estimate of what my goal weight should be. I would love to get to 115!!! congrats!!! oh, and i weight about 220 lbs.

Today I caught my reflection in a shop window... and it surprised me! I think today was the first day I've been able to "see" my weight loss

Happy 33rd Birthday weight loss pills!

I'm not losing weight, I'm getting rid of it. I have no intentions of ever finding it again!

My dr and I have decided that we will be seeking a maintenance level of fill and not a fill level that will provide weight loss. I'm very happy with that! Feeling good about where I'm at with my band for the first time in a long time!

Love & Light sleeve sisters! Well I'm not excatly sure how, but I gained 2.4 lbs this week. I cannot pin point exactly what I did differently. I have a feeling it may be I haven't drank enough water. So, I will up the water intake and off to losing again. Keep your heads to the sky and know that you are on the right track so don't look back!

Looking forward to losing more weight. Been a little stall, but I am working to get all the needed nutrition in each day. The incisions are almost completely healed now. Amazing!! I have lost 26 pounds.

32 more pounds till I reach my goal weight....this is really happening....

Okay folks!!! Here it is - I've set myself an ENORMOUS goal to reach so I'm really going to rock and roll it to reach my weight goal in the next few months - DEFINITELY by Halloween - no ifs and or butts!!! :-P Oh BTW... the goal prize remains a secret until I hit my goal.

I am going through kaiser to get the sleeve done. I am currently attending the Options program. I have one more class to go. I started the class at 222 lbs i am 5'2" and I am currently weighing 211 lbs. I am excited to see the weightloss come off now i can just imagine what i am going to be like once i do the surgery and i loose more weight. I am doing this procedure for my family and for myself I have let go of myself i dislike to go go shopping for clothes for me and when before th...

so, i'm sooooo careful about charting my weight daily and looking back over the last 4 weeks i've realized that i lose the most on Sunday and Monday, which coincide with the huge amount of dancing i do on Saturday night into Sunday morning... but for the days i'm just walking... zip!! SO... from now on i'm going to forget about walking... it uses a lot of time for very few calories burned... instead i'm going to focus on higher intensity aerobic exercise!!!
