255 pounds--now im 172 pounds- happy -

shandytx83

welcome

its always nice to get new blood in the neignborhood

83 lbs lost - WooHoo

telling/seeing you have lost weight,, old clothes don't fit anymore???

getting rid of your "big" clothes - buying new smaller sized clothes is quite a committment

thats a great NSV (non scale victory as we fondly call it!!)

kindof like "out" with the old - "in" with the new!!

many people buy clothes in their transition period at goodwill - then you are not spending lots of money on clothes you won't be wearing long

you being 5' you probably want to lose another 40 lbs???

you can't wake up dailty being afraid that you are going to "mess" up

eat something wrong - gain the weight back

you are 6 months post op losing 83 lbs - still wanting to lose weight - don't think about gaining, don't worry about the future

concentrate on "today", continue your great work

try and drink more Water, that is important

you said - "trying really hard its not easy every day its a new start"

every day is NOT easy - you are right

there are days that are more challenging than others

corny, but if one day you slip, pick yourself up and start again

do your "best" thats all you can do

i can see you are working really hard

putting one foot in front of another you are awesome!!!!!

take care

nice to meet you

keep up the good work

congrats on your success
