Thank you so much! I'm excited. I was losing about 5-7 lbs a week at first but have slowed to 2'is lbs a week now. And there have been a couple stalls!

A couple people asked for advice, what I've been eating. I'm honestly a horrible sleever. I do make a conscious effort to get Protein in but I'm having a terrible time with grabbing handfuls of chips or pretzels. I've had ice cream and candy as well. I've not been horrible but could be better!

I just started myfitnesspal - so please find me on there. I need accountability. My username is the same.

I'm finding that on the days I get in 64 oz of liquid (usually unsweetened tea) I have almost always lost 1-2 lbs the next morning. The Water helps so much with cleansing & bowel movements... and just makes me feel better.

Anyway, thanks again for the compliments. I can't wait to get to goal. It's unreal to be buying clothes at regular stores and seeing an L on the tag instead of XXL. I'm also sleeping better, less knee pain, more energy, no medications, etc. Enjoying the journey (though I'm so ready to get to the destination of 160 lbs!)

Stunning pictures. I love the way you use the same pose to really show your progress. You have the right attitude and are obviously working very hard. You're going to get to your goal. Count on it.

Thank you @ISB. Sometimes in the back of my mind I get a doubting feeling that I'm somehow not going to make goal, like my body is just going to be done losing. Im so happy to have lost 50 but sometimes fear that's all I'll lose. I remember feeling that way at 25 and 35 lbs, too. it's such a constant effort to ignore the emotion and go with what the mind knows.

Anybody else ever feel that way?

Just thougth I'd post a picture update. I started at 260 lbs and am now down to 209 with a goal weight of 160. I'm halfway there! Surgery was 4/20/12 and has saved my life. I was wearing a size 20-22 and am now comfortably a 16. I can fit into a 14 but they're tight!

You look smaller than a 16! Congrats and what did you use to get those 3 pics lined up like that?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
