ITSMEMRSJ 3 Posted January 3, 2012 Happy New Year! I told myself I would take a picture for the New year. I've been a slow loser (IMO) I was sleeved on 9/14/11 and have lost 53 pounds (two pounds from ONEderland YIPEEE) I never measured my inches but I was a size 18/20 in bottoms & 2x in tops and now I wear a 14 (or a tight 12) in bottoms & size large in shirts! I've been really emotional about my weight loss or lack of it, comparing my loss to others sleeved around the same time, weighing myself twice a day, but I'm over it. I feel good, my pre-hypertension is gone, my ankles don't hurt at the end of the day, and I can still eat the foods I like (well most of them) but in moderation. My coworkers are also telling me they see it, even though I don't. Still a long way from goal but I'm going to be positive about it and work harder to make it happen (EXERCISE!!!) Take Care guys! 1 mocha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebiC 181 Posted January 3, 2012 Personally I can't see where you would be able to lose another 62 lbs! You look so good already. Congratulations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrownDoesAll 409 Posted January 3, 2012 I too am a slow loser. I was sleeved on 11/8/11 and to date have only lost 18 pounds. I have gone down one pant size. But I am determined and am in the process of making this a life change. Hang in there I'm confident our pounds will come off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted January 3, 2012 You are a loser in weight. All of a sudden, it will be gone. I really never knew how big I was because I had a mental picture of my weight from years ago. A friend told me that My stomach was really out and you could use my butt as a self. Ummm, was she being mean or was this the way I looked? When clarifying with my daughter, she told me she was just being mean..... Umm, who needs friends like that? I'm moving on with my weight loss and have even set up an appt with a NUT this friday to see how I can speed things up. Yayyy! You will lose, just at a different rate than some others.

soforreal 7 Posted January 3, 2012 Hun---slow loser. I don't think so----YOU LOOK GREAT!!! I try to think about my wt. loss in the past. There is no way that I would lose 53 lbs. in a year. So to lose 53 lbs. in just a few months is great. Congrats!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsTheSleeve 2 Posted January 3, 2012 I am right there with you! It seems like the scale is moving slowly but look at how much smaller your clothing is already. I really realize it when I am folding laundry. You have made fantastic progress and you look great. I was sleeved 2 days before you and our numbers are pretty much the same. I have those really snug 12's hanging in the closet and I know I will be in them in a couple more weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LGoz 4 Posted January 4, 2012 I think you look terrific! My husband and I started doing WII dance and I can tell I'm using muscles I havent used in a long time..or ever! It was 28 outside today so walking a mile or so wasn't going to happen, LOL The WII is so fun too.. You just kind of move in funny ways to try to match the person on the video.. Anyway, I thought I would share because my weight has not been overly big either and I was bummed out.. 3 weeks tomorrow and only 15 pounds! Take care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
