i have a few non scale victories but i realized today that a nice one is being able to wrap normal sized towels around me! i love it!

i was thinking about my short term goal last night & i think i want to change it. im scared to in fear i wont meet it but i think its some what realistic!

i said i wanted to be 165 or below by my 24th birthday which is aug 26th. thats 11 pounds in 1 month & 10 days. im going to start hitting the gym today for the 1st time ever since surgery. my boyfriends a personal trainer & body builder so hewill be training me.

i think i want to change it so that im 165 or below by my 10yr anniversary (aug 17th) & be 155 by my birthday which is 21lbs in 41days.

im going to be weight training & doing cardio + upping my Protein & cutting out sweets! when training & eating better, i usually lose 4-8lbs the 1st week & then about 2-4lbs every week after that. if i lose more than 4 the first week & keep the # @ 3 every week after, ill reach my goal!

every yr, i diet & diet for my birthday & never weighed less than 218! this year, i could possibly be 63lbs lighter than what my lowest was!

You sound so much like me!! I am a pre-sleeve and an August baby (aug 23)!!! I am getting sleeved in october and I just want to tell you that your story is very inspiring to me.....so thanks!! I also was just wondering about your hair loss. I have very long and thick curly hair and am curious as to what's going to happen to it after surgery. Did yours fall out gradually or very quickly? Has it started to come back in yet? I am sorry for asking such personal questions but I love my hair and am very nervous about losing it!!! Congrats on your success...u look amazing girlie!!!

my hair, my poor poor hair :'(

i did a youtube video on it & even showed a sample of how much falls out. it fell out quickly. ive lost 6/8 of all my hair!! its so depressing! i had beautiful long curly thick hair. now its very thin, wavy, shedding drastically and depressing!!!

i cant even go get my hair done for my birthday. im going to use a sock bun with side swept bangs to hide my edges.

my youtube channel is youtube.com/jasleeve

Thanks for the honesty, my sister recently got the surgery she is 3 months out & starting to experience hair lost but her hair is thick curly & long mine is just thin, wavy & long and so i'm scared & she keeps saying it's not bad but i'm so nervous!
