17 more lbs.....



Recommended Posts

I've got 17 lbs to a healthy weight and I need to get my act together!!! I've lost 55lbs so far. 17 to healthy, 27 to goal

Here's what I've been doing -

  • Spinning 3x a week
  • Walking 2-4 miles every day
  • Sticking to high Protein, veggies, fruits

Here's what's TOUGH

  • Cravingsssss - especially for sugar, or salty!!!

These last few pounds are tough but I can do it!!! Anyone else in the same position?

Yeah, I was there September of last year and I've pretty much stalled at 25 lbs from my personal goal weight. I've just been maintaining for the last year and I'm OK with that. Looking forward to after the Holidays to take another shot at >160.

Unfortuantly yes, I m

down from 225 to 162 with a goal of 140. Ive been stuck in

the 160s for a loooong time, I finally got to 158 2 weeks ago, then ate poorly and I m stuck at 162 , again! this last 20 lbs is not easy as my body is fighting the weight loss end, all normal per my Dr.

That is me, exactly!!!

I started doing a lot of toning .. Mat work and pilates .. And my shape is changing so drastically (smaller), that I'm not so dead-art on reaching the 140 anymore. It would be nice, I think, but I'm looking really healthy at 160 and getting firmer every day.

Wow! It's so great to know there are other people with very similar starting and current weights!

My body finally started shedding lbs this week and I'm down to 161! It's funny that it coincides with a taking a break from super intense cardio.

11lbs to healthy weight - I'm sure it will be tough but feels more feasible than ever.

Thanks for the tips on toning - such a great idea!!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
