Slow losers..... Motivational steps



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody my name is Ballermom and I'm a slow loser. Ok so, I'm not the typical " I lost 100lbs in 4-6 months" deal. So I developed some motivational steps to help others like myself.

Step one- Don't compare yourself with any body. You worked to hard on this Journey with all the hoop jumping just to get the surgery. Time to appreciate how hard you've worked and who you are as an individual.

Step two-make that scale your Be-atch!

Step three- add another weight loss exercise like Skinny Sex!

Step four- don't forget to enjoy the Journey!

I'm definitely in the club. This Monday I'll be 7 weeks out and as of today I am down 19.6 lbs from surgery day. But, you are right, I can't compare myself to anyone else. This is my journey. I'm happy the scale is going down!

Love the pics!!

I'm on my second month long stall right now. In 9 months I've lost 90 pounds. I knew once I was close to being under 200 pounds my weight would stall. Sure enough, I've been stuck at 205 since the last week of June! 90 pounds is a lot of freakin weight though. I'm very happy! I'm content knowing I'll never be 100 pounds overweight again!

This is good. I've stall since June 21, I'll be 2 mont August 1st down 32 lbs and some times I feel down but not gonna let the scale determine my life. I know 6 month or a year from now or how ever long it takes me, I will reach my goal.

I am 7 weeks out and have lost 32 pounds including my 2 week liquid diet. I am happy though because it is coming off and I couldn't have lost 32 pounds in 9 weeks (pre op included) on my own. I will just keep plugging along and when a stall hits and my hair is falling out I will hang in there!! I have lost a ton of inches so I am looking at that as well. Losing slow and a happy girl!! :)

      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. 🤞
