There is nothing wrong with that. A loser is a loser!

I don't think so. You have lost a total of 44 pounds.

You started out lower than me and were sleeved after me.

I have only lost 43 pounds and was sleeved 2/19

I am happy with my weight loss

Don't be so hard on yourself!

Thanks I am a slow losers

Also think of it this way, you have lost almost 1/2 of your excess body weight! Way to go!!!

went shopping today at Kohls' date=' started out in the women's section as I am used to doing but when I tried things on they were way too big. Had to hit the regular size section, amazing b/c I don't remember the last time I could do that. Its crazy how much more they have in regular sizes. Feels great![/quote']

I went to old Navy the other day because all my pants were falling g off. I put a few pairs of 16s in my basket thinking I was delusional. I tried them on and they were all too big! I had to go back and get 14s! When i got home all fit perfectly, but one pair was a little loose. I could have worn a 12! I was wearing 22-20 before surgery. I've not lost a lot of lbs, but I was thrilled to wear a 14! It's been 30 years since I was this size!

Another big NSV today. I bought my third wardrobe since 1/31. I went from 52 inch jeans to 40 inch and 3XLT shirts to 1XLT. I'll probably be at 34 or 36 inch pants and LT shirts when I hit my goal.

Good for you!!!!

Sleeved Feb 26... 11 weeks today!

Down 28 lbs since surgery and a total of 50 since I started my journey in December...

I have been at the same weight for over a week and a half ( I won't call it a "stall" because it hasn't been that long of a pause)... But it's been long enough to getting attention. I think there is still a part of me that is thinking this is just like all the other diets and that I have lost my weight that I was going to lose and it's done. I have gone from a size 20 womens to a size 16 misses, and yet to get rid of a single article of clothing! I'm too afraid that I will need them again!!! So mentally screwed up from the years of yo-yo dieting...

Hi Kimikat!

Get rid of those clothes. You need to start making space for your NEW life. Those clothes are a crutch... Declare that you will never need them again! When I clean out my big clothes I feel AWESOME. Try it!

I had my surgery February 26, 2013. My starting weight was 297. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet so that was my surgery weight. Today I weigh 251. =) It's been great! People are treating me different. Men are noticing (I'm married by the way). Still feels good to be noticed!

Kudos to you! Really make sure you are getting a lot of Protein. Talk to your nut and make sure they know you're losing hair. That shouldn't happen. It's your body's way of letting you know it's in distress and needs more nutrients. Kind of like a plant shedding leaves when the soil lacks nutrients. Best of Luck!

I am doing well except still not able to eat much in the way of solids. I can eat yougurt, Soup, and such but when it comes down to sitting down to chicken, vegatables and a potato. The most I can get in is just a couple of bites of each. Eating is just not at all pleasurable. I'm not complaining about that part! Just wondering when I'll be able to sit down in a restaurant and eat the equivalent of a child's meal?

I am basically still doing full liquids because Protein Drinks, yogurt, soup, diet pudding, etc are pleasurably for me to eat.
