ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted December 17, 2013 December 10 was my 1 year anniversary and I am down a total of 102lbs! I started this journey at 332lbs and today am 230lbs (5'8"). I was in 26/28, I assume 3XL tops. Today I am in size 16 jeans and large or xl tops depending on where I go. This has not been an easy journey and I have fought for every pound. I was pregnant in july and we lost it in september and I have not lost a pound since! I am working so hard to get it going again but it just hasnt happened yet. I know I am not done losing yet! Hoping to get to my goal by May of 165! If i could just get below 230 I think I could do it! Hope everyone has a great christmas! 4 ProudGrammy, LifetimeLoser, HoosierGirl and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laners777 145 Posted December 17, 2013 You look awesome, congrats on your weight loss and keeping it off for all those months. That is success in itself. I'm so not the expert in trying to get the weight loss started again but maybe a trip to your DR will give some insight. I'm thinking the NUTS can give some advice. Are you working out/exercising? Maybe that would do the trick??? Wishing you a jump start in 2014 to get where you want to be ))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wishing you a jump start in 2014 to get where you want to be ))) thank you! i'm getting there! i can honestly say when i was pregnant i stopped working out bc i was nervous. then everything happened and then i started working out again mid to late october. i then threw my low back out in november and am in PT and seeing a chiro. i walk every day on my lunch for 25 minutes and then on fri, sat sun go to the gym and do cardio. however i just started doing cardio again this past week because i was on hiadus with my back. per chiro i started again. i did go see a NUT on the 6th of december. she seems perplexed about me because she could tell i was being honest about what i was eating which is following the plan. but she seems to think i am getting too many fat calories. so my goal for the next month is to track in mfp (which i am awful at) and then go back and see her january 10th. we are then going to review mfp log and see where she thinks i am going wrong. i'll be honest and say once a week i do have something i am not supposed too. but so far this week i have cut that out. hopefully getting back to the gym last week and tracking will get me going again. i do see my surgeon soon and will be talking with them about this as well 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
