The sleeping beast has been awoken. Rawwwrrrr!!! I'm gonna kick fats @$$ from here to timbuktu!! Heck I may do something I rarely do, and that's make a weight goal.. Ha!

I DID IT!!!! I HIT ONEDERLAND! 199 That is 71 pounds of weight I will never have back on my BODY! I am in the home stretch now.. 50 pounds until I hit goal!

What bad luck! I'll be praying for you! Matt and I are in San Francisco this weekend. Flying back to Fla on Sunday. Matt has lost about 85 and me 50. How is your weight loss?

I am feeling better each day. People are now noticing the weight loss and I am happy. I am so close to my goal weight, I just can't wait to get there. I feel good at this weight but would love to loose a few more lbs.

I have finally met my goal weight of 140#. Did it in 8 months. I look in the mirror and still can't believe it sometimes!!!!

Two great NSVs - one: my dietician told me I was by far the most successful sleeve patient he's ever seen. 92% of my excess weight now lost!

Today is a new day, I got up and couldn't resist weighing myself, and I have gained 3 f...... lbs! So Frustrating. And I know it's most likely water weight. Blahhhhhhh!

There is no single way to lose weight. The reason people are successful at it is because they dig, and search, and discover a way that works for them; through paitence and trial and error.

In the last week, I've kind lost my motivation. Work is so tiring and I'm so behind on things. I'm really concerned about this gall bladder issue because I don't want it removed. And, I haven't been eating or exercising properly. I've gained two pounds. I know it's not alot, but I think it portrays my current emotions.

I hiccup now! I wondered why! Thx!! “@BariatricTV: Hiccuping and Sneezing after weight loss surgery?http://t.co/dGdJ2sfq”

In the last month -- since my last body fat percentage check (on 1/27/12) -- I've lost 4.6lbs of fat, and gained 1.8lbs of muscle. Not bad. Both numbers moving in the right direction!

Can someone tell me how to put the weight loss tracker on my mine like so many of you have on yours.

1 more pound until I have 50 pounds of weight loss!!!!! This also marks my first big goal as far as how much I weigh!!! the count down begins baby!!

It's been forever since I've been on this forum. Life is always so busy but I really appreciated LilMissDivas message today about stalls. I've been the same weight for 3mos just trying to break into 1derland. Thought I would be there long ago and have been wondering if this weight is where I'm stuck and if I was doing everything wrong. Will work on changing things up!

This status is for all of those who are going through a "stall". FYI a true stall is being at the same weight for 3 weeks or more. You will have to change up your routine to break it. That said... it took me ***6.5 YEARS*** to get from point A to point B. So if you're feeling at this moment that you will never get to your goal, YOU ABSOLUTELY WILL!!! You just have to keep fighting. Forever!!!

10 pounds down today! Total weight lost since surgery (11/21) 40 pounds! Thank you Lord!

I finally lost the 10 lbs I gained during the holidays but I still can't get back to the way I was eating when I first started this journey. I find losing very difficult now that I fell off track. It was so easy for me before. Sigh.

Yesterday I weighted in at 259.6 slowing down a bit but I think it is what I'm eating. I did manage to lose 6 inches this past week and feel really good about that, it has only been 18 weeks (5 months 5 days) since I started my journey. Worked out last night and even got hubby to join the gym with me, now we can work out together.

Day 6 post op and I still have gas pains and coughing up phlegm. I wighed on the scale yesterday and I gained 1.5 lbs!! I'm bummed. I think it is due to all the iv fluids they gave me in the hospital as I was dehydrated. I'm able to drink 1 protein shake a day which is what is recommended by my NUT. I walked a little yesterday but noticed I got tired quickly. Also, I had a cup of organic chicken broth and sugar free pudding last night. I felt SO bloated afterwards. Big mistake...

Inching closer and closer to goal!!! Five more pounds until a healthy weight and BMI!!!!

Wow! Down to 186, can't believe I'm one pound away from my goal weight. I think I'm actually going to change my goal to 180 and see how it feels!

The number one ingredient to losing weight with the sleeve: Diligence. The second: Forgiveness (of the self). Every day you wake up is a new opportunity to get it right. Never give up! Perfection isn't going to happen unless you're Super Human. That... I never was.
