July Sleevers

[Fiddleman 4,376]

Doing well. Sleeved July 2nd 2012. Hit goal about a month ago and +- a few lbs depending on what my body wants to do with Water. Started at 360 a month before surgery and am 180 today. I stalled out a lot during the loss phase, probably every 2 weeks after October 2012. Just kept my chin up and stuck to plan. Did not allow the desire to snack or eat snack related foods overwhelm my desire to achieve success. I started out just walking every day after surgery and slowly increased miles and intensity until switching over to ellyptical at month 2. Did ellyptical 1/2 heartily until month 5, but it certainly helped. Started running at month 5 after being motivated by many VST runners. Have not looked back since figuratively. Today I am running 10 k and working on training for a 1/2 by summer. It is amazing what you can do by setting personal goals and sticking to it. Also started cross fit a few weeks ago with an eventualgoal of becoming athlete strong. I am not so strong at the moment. Good luck and keep your eyes on the prize, whatever that may be for you. Feel free to PM me if you want.

I was sleeved on July 5th and have lost 76 lbs. I have gone from a size 22 to 12! I am feeling great!! I am so happy I had this done.

Any of you experiencing some friends not treating you the same? I have or had a really close friend, who weighed almost the same I used to weight, that is very distant now. I am not sure what to do, I have tried reaching out and talking to her but it has not helped.

Congrats on the great weight loss. You are doing great. I have three close friends and only one will say anything to me about my weight loss. One of them always calls me a skinny b***h. Maybe she thinks its funny and it's a compliment, but I don't think it's funny at all. It used to bother me, but now I just think if they are so I unhappy with themselves then they need to do something about it. All my friends are very overweight. I am not going to be upset over them anymore. We worked hard to lose it and we deserve friends who appreciate us for us, not base us on the number on the scale. Good luck and chin up. It's their loss for losing a good friend.

I was sleeved July 18. I'm down 62lbs and been at a three month stall. Love the weight that's off but it's very frustrating when I'm only half way to goal and I can't move past this number on the scale!
