As of this morning, I am officially OVERWEIGHT!!

I started this journey almost 7 months ago (May 16 '13) at 263.8. I was a tight size 20 bottom, XXL top, 42DDD boobs and a BMI that labeled me morbidly obese. As of today, I am 168.8, only 8.8 pounds away from my original goal (which I've since lowered but...). I am in a loose size 12 but could move into 10s if I liked the pants tight look. I wear a size L top but everyone says a Medium looks better. My boobs are now a 36D and my BMI has finally hit OVERWEIGHT!!!

I am so freaking happy. I haven't been this size since college. I've lost exactly 95 pounds and my new mini goal is 100 pounds by Christmas!!

I am not a role model of eating by any means. My sleeve is very finicky and even at almost 7 months out some days I still don't get in 400 calories while others, I hit 1000. I am on MFP as abrowndog if you want to friend me, though.

For Breakfast, I generally try to have an egg with cheese and maybe some bacon if I feel like making a mess.

My lunch is usually on the road, so if I stop, it's most likely a thick Soup at Panera and if I don't, it's beef Jerky in the car and if there is a convenience store nearby, a cheese stick.

I try really hard to back off the carbs, and I don't waste the carbs I have on bread or Pasta. I might have a few little something sweets or some potato, but anytime I indulge in carbs, I have them on the brain the entire rest of the day and the day after.

My exercise plan is "as much as possible" I do 5-8 hours of martial arts a week. I do 2-4 hours of kickboxing as week as well. We just joined a new gym that is MUCH more exciting than our old and I plan on getting back in the pool as soon as I won't die of cold after a good swim. I am enjoying exercise much more than I did 7 months ago!

      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.
