A Major Scale Victory



Recommended Posts

I am, for the first time in 10 years, under 200 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ten months past my surgery, exercising regularly, and having to restart a few times, I have hit a major milestone. That number alone is a motivation for me to keep going. I tried on an XL top the other day and it was a little loose, so I tried on a Large. It was a bit snug at the hips, but it fit better than the XL! That's also motivation!

congrats on your scale victory!!!! i was banded 4 months ago and i cant get past 20 pounds!!!arrgghhh so frustrating. my clothing size has gone from a 20 to a 16, but the scale wont move. ieveryone keeps telling me the scale will catch up! WHEN!!! ugh! i knew this would be a slow process and plus i have thyroid issue, but i feel like i'm at a stand still at this point. yep, exercising 4 times a week at least and 2 times with a trainer. i think maybe i'll go in for a small fill, but with my new job it's impossible to get off work in time to make it to the doctor's office. ugh! FRUSTRATED!:(

Jennifer, it will happen! Your doctor/nutritionist might also be able to tell you if you're eating enough to support your 4x week workout metabolism. Over the summer, I hardly lost any weight but my body seemed to have rearranged itself. My measurements changed quite a bit, then the scale started moving again. I can't figure it out, either!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
