Seraphina 60 Posted July 11, 2012 I met my goal today! It took a little over 6 months and I didn't even try that hard. If you think you will be the one person this will not work for, you are wrong. I just knew that I would be the one that failed. It happened for me and it WILL happen for you! Don't even stress it. 8 SkinnyJackie, MsDallasSleever, chitowngirl and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulsgirl1297 18 Posted July 11, 2012 That's great news, especially for me because I've been feeling a little down about the slow weight loss in the three weeks since my surgery, guess I expected it to just melt off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seraphina 60 Posted July 13, 2012 Thank you all! I totally relate to you who are having the same thoughts I did...so much self doubt and fear for us all. For me it was so bad that I told no one I was doing this in case I failed (I have yet to tell anyone). My goal was modest compared to some, but overwhelming for me. I have thyroid disease and a non-existent metabolism. I lost about 10 lbs on my preop and a little over 60 since then. It sucked, let's be real, but I didn't bust my ass or watch the food intake and I even drank alcohol whenever I felt like it. Some may think it irresponsible of me to say these things, given how much we all have struggled and continue to struggle post op in many cases. But my intention is to encourage everyone. It will happen! It will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphina 60 Posted July 13, 2012 Oh yeah, quick tip...stay off the scale! Once a week will make your whole next week awesome! Seriously, no more than once a week. I went an entire month more than once and was elated when I finally got back on and found how much I had lost. What a rush! 3 Piplula, Janedeaux3 and njsleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
