Thanks!!!! I'm still very happy with where I am. I haven't lost any in a few weeks, but am approaching the time of month where I lose ok. I'll try for a few pounds. Though if I don't... oh well. ;)

So I'm back at it folks!! I have tacked on 29.9 Lbs of FAT loss and undertaken a great feat. I'm trying to get my body fat to 29% which will place me in the "moderately lean" category. I do believe that will finally be it for me. I did this to get myself as healthy as I can, while still looking good. I think that will be the exact place. It will get me down to about 151 Lbs.

*Whew* this is going to be rough. I'd like to get there in six months!! Before my next Bod Pod Body Fat % Test.

I'll need to incorporate some weight training which I really don't like doing because I gain muscle so fast. I only plan to do 2 days per week and really only upper body for now. My legs will look like Ahhhnold's if I work em!!!

Auughhhhhghghgghhhhh!!!!!!!

Thank you!!! It's not going to be very easy. I already only lose about 4-5 Lbs per month now. So I'll have to stay at 5 Lbs per month or above to reach my goal in this timeline. However fat loss is different than weight loss, so I could still build muscle and end up heavier than 151 Lbs and still be 29% Body Fat. So... we'll see how I end up!!!

*hugs*

Diva, even if you only lose one pound a month, you are sill heading in the right direction. I am only losing around 3 pounds a month for the last couple of months... I am happy for it! I still want to lose 18 pounds by......July of next year. And most of that needs to be fat so wish me luck!

I know you're absolutely right. I need to take my own advice and Celebrate every pound of fat lost. ;) Thank you, I did need that!!! I am certainly my own worst critic!!

Wishing you the best! I know you'll get there though!!

That is awesome Diva! Well done.

I am 4lb from 'goal', and am really pondering how you begin to move from a lifetime of trying to lose weight, to acceptance. I really hope to join you there soon xx

You will get there very very soon, you look incredible! For me, it didn't finally hit me until I had my plastic surgeries and now that my body is finally shaping up after healing... I see it now. I'm done!!!

      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.

      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.
