I had to look back when I started, and it was June 19th

Starting weight 146.8lbs

Current Weight 144.0 lbs

Lost 2.8lbs

I had dropped down to 140.6 lbs and stayed there for a few days, but whenever I am mid-cycle, I start to bounce around A LOT!! Was down at 142.8 yesterday, up to 144 this morning. So that is where I am right now! Hopefully it will keep going down.

Everyone is doing so amazing, congratulations!

I think it was 7-10 but when I figure it out' date=' I'll fix it here.

Down 7 lbs[/quote']

Okay, I'm actually having trouble figuring out my weight because I can't find my weights in the old thread and I didn't record my weight every day on MFP. I eventually started putting it in the notes daily and logging it every Sunday but didn't at first. I thought I was down eight pounds in four weeks but I think I'm down eight pounds in just under five weeks.

So best guess for me is that I started on 23 June and am down 8 pounds.

But what I'll put here now (so I can remember) is that I am currently 141 pounds and back into my maintenance window (albeit at the top end) and have six more pounds to goal.

OK, so this is a kinda rough idea... I think I started around the same time as Laura and FYE so...

Start date: 11 June 13

Start weight: 168

weight as of this morning 163 (offical weigh day is always a Saturday even though I do admit to weighing daily) is 163

so, that is a 5lb loss so far! Not to shoddy for the slowest loser in town...lol

FYE, I really hope so 'cos I am finding really easy to follow and stick with! Even if it comes off really slowly, as long as it comes off and I can see progress, I will be happy.

And, I have to say, it is working for you TOO! In fact, all of us are rocking this right now! Loves it!

I thought I was in my eighth week, but I guess I was mis-counting (I have a hell of a time tracking anything...!). So I started 10 June I believe, and I was around 72kg at the time. I'm still in the 71kg range, and have bounced all over the place (even saw a 69.something on one day), but I don't track it so I am not too sure. Let's say I've lost a kilo in seven weeks maybe. *shrug* But I like doing it, so I'm still not too fussed about the speed of losing -- and to be entirely fair, my life has been very caloric this summer, I hope the social stuff dies down for a bit at some point.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
