Im right there with you. Im making changes today and will reach it come hell or high Water. Im down a good bit but need to get 50 more off to have a chance at air force in october.

I wish you luck, we are human but we have to want it no matter how hard it is. And this is hard we have a tool and we need to use it wisely or we all did this for nothing.

I am going to be brutally honest here, I have been sabotaging myself lately. I have been eating carbs and not loosing any weight...

My old habits are back, and I can kick myself in the booty. I need to get back on track, and maybe start with liquids again, to jump start my wt. loss and to get me off this carb kick.

I need to get at the root of this issue.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Don't beat yourself up I think we get cocky so to speak, we lost all this weight and folks give us complements and then we feel like well this must be good enough but we all know we all have a way to go before we are truly satisfied with our surgeries progress lets all hold each other down and support one another in our time of need. We can do this guys. Strength in numbers!

I am right there with you. I havent gained but I havent lost either. Im stuck in ( limbo so to speak) I am ashamed of myself. Its like I lost a certain amount and I gave up. I thought oh well at least Im not gaining. Then tonight I decided to look through pictures on my camera and saw (really saw myself) again. I realized tonight why I had this surgery to begin with. We can do this, we can get back on track I know we can!

You are so right on this! I realized it tonight. What a slap in the face it is for me.

Im right there with you guys! Getting back on track. Spent quite a while at the gym last night. Made my food for the day so no temptations at lunch. I can do this.

you guys rock! I got encouraged just reading the thread about sabotaging one's self... I've been on that boat (complacency) ... and now its time to get back in the Water and SWIM my tail off! I gotta lose this weight... and I won't let CARBS take me down!

I am challenging myself to lose 10 lbs between now and my next appt. in July... If I gotta go back to liquids for a few days... I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna double up on my exercise as well... walk at lunch... pool 3 days a week in the evenings... once again, its ON!!

Let's all challenge ourselves this month, especially those who can relate to my sabotage quote earlier this week. Good luck all. I'm on Myfitnesspal as rhodieridge13 if you want to friend me.

How are my December sleevers doing? Thought I would provide an update -

Date of Surgery: 12/13/2012

Starting weight: 195

Day of surgery: 188

Today (5/24/2013): 139.4

Goal weight: 115

In another few pounds, I will no longer be considered overweight by the numbers (BMI anyway)

This has been an incredible journey. My medical issures are gone (no sleep apnea, incontinence, Migraines are at a minimum, knees and ankle inflammation - gone)

My last TKD tournament was the best ever. I took first in forms (which has never happened - I seldom ever place), 3rd in weapons, 2nd in sparring, 2nd in combat sparring, 1st in Creative weapons and 1st in XMA weapons. There were several comments about my quickness, speed and energy. It was amazing.

When I place soccer, I am running all over the field. People I have played against that I hardly know talk about how great i look.

As far as referring soccer, I got a hug from the head accessor. He was so impressed with my movement. In the sections for needs to improve/areas of concerns he put "None at this time" = that never happens. This summer my daughter and I are going for a Grade 7s. Bring on the fitness test!!!

This surgery has given me my life back. Since I am now single after 24 years - bring on the world!

I want to say thank you to my fellow December sleevers. Your comments and posts have kept me going. When I had doubt or wanted to give up, I read other posts!!

Come on December sleevers - we got this!!!!

[dltrautman1 27]
