Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!



Recommended Posts

While I am very happy with that, I must admit that I am envious of those who have lost 100 lbs in 6-7 months. What is your advise? What is your typical days' diet like? I know sometimes its the small things that make a huge difference. I am really interested to hear from this group. ;)

Thanks.

i journal about 85 - 90% of everything (food and exercise) on my blog ( http://losingjusme.blogspot.com/ )

i work out A LOT ... i bought the book Total Body Makeover and am following that. it is very intense exercising.

my eating habits still need to change. if there is chocolate in the house or at my desk at work, i eat it ... :think i am almost at 100 pounds but my fear is that i will just stop losing ...

losingjusme: Thanks for sharing your tips. I checked out your blog and it's awesome. I am exercising 5 days a week. I'm doing Water aerobics and lifting weights a couple times a week. I think I need to get a personal trainer and get extremely serious about the exercise factor. I've been on a platueau for 6 weeks and it's really getting me down. It's helpful to see that other people have been successful!

I've lost 139 lbs in 7 months, i can't really workout (i have pain in my left leg when i do since december 15 or so and it's getting better this days with the help of a kinesioloy treatment) so i think my "secret" (if it can be called that way) is to eat lots of veggies and fruits, no fats, no salt, no cooking oil, drink lots of Water (no coke, sprite or similar) and also to keep my motivation high is to always weight myself when i woke up :notagree so i can start the day with a goal in my mind, one day at a time it's the way to go :).

Good luck, saludos! :clap2:

Nile, how in the heck are you not hungry all the time?

Here's my thing: I work my butt off at the gym and on my bike, but I am freakin hungry ALL the time. I eat like 2,000 calories a day. I'm pretty well restricted, but still hungry, even when I'm full I'm just not.. satisfied. I don't get it!

I got that kind of hunger too, when it gets me i go to the fridge pick a big bottle of Water and i drink it like there's no tommorrow :P in 5 minutes the only thing in my mind is to go the bathroom :D other option for me is to grab a pack of free sugar chewing gum :D. I tend to get it the days i'm feeling sad and i think it's 100% psychological so i don't really need the food i just want it!

Good luck, saludos! :clap2:

P.S: I saw your flickr photo album, you're gorgeous! :nervous

Good point. I have definitely been under a lot of stress lately, so that could explain the recent surge in appetite. I like the water idea, I'm going to try it. Except I'm going to put the green tea extract in it. That stuff is so nasty I don't want anything else for a few hours after that. So I'll kick that into high gear and see how it works.

And thanks for the nice compliment!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
