We all lose at a different pace. If your exercising than you have muscle that your building, your sister is not and she may be losing her muscle mass. I wouldn't put too much into it because in the long run, you will most likely be more successful at keeping the weight off because your changing your negative eating patterns. You will sustain weight loss longer and permanently where she is giving into her triggers and eating the foods that are calorie condensed with no nutritional value. So don't worry too much about her and keep doing what your doing, at the end of the journey you will be very happy....... HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)

53 lbs is great in 2 months! Just keep doing what you are doing and it will come off. I was 285 on my surgery day and I'm 205 today, almost 6 months later. You are on the right track.

I probably lost so much because I wasn't working out...I have lost all my muscle. It is gone. I am a weakling now. That is why I caution everyone to start working out prior to the surgery. I didn't track anything or work out either and I never stalled. I just stopped eating when I was full and didn't eat again until I was hungry. I am going to the gym next week to see if there is anything I can do to repair the muscle loss. I am only 12 pounds heavier than my best friend and I am an inch taller than her...however she is 18% body fat and I am probably 40 still. So she looks crazy skinny...I am skinny, but not super model skinny.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
