Love this! I remember thinking when I had lost 40 lbs. it was like I had been walking around with 8 5-lb. bags of sugar. What a load. No wonder I am not gasping for breath! I always equate 5 lbs. of sugar with 5 lbs. Keeps it real. .

Thanks CG! I love it!

Saw my Dr. today and I lost 3lbs!! So that's about 1 1/2 of those grapefruits no wonder my pants are falling down!

I'm happy and TGIF!!!! Ready for a nice long (but wet and cold) weekend! My kids are going to hate it...as they will be cleaning out the basement and re-organizing the attic :)

I've heard recently how much better they liked it when I was tired on the weekends....oh well!!! They aren't paying rent, so they will be working for me this weekend :)

Love it what an eye opener.. i really needed that.. here i was all sad because my scale only says 38 lost.. but heck if some one was to ask me to carry around what equals about 27 grapefruits i would think they where insane...

Wow.....wow.....wow.

Two years ago on a family vacation in Chicago, we visited a museum that had a similar display. They also showed a cross section of a muscular thigh and a FAT thigh. I remember what an impact that picture and that display had on me. It was really one of a few catalyst that slapped me across the face to TAKE CHARGE OF MY LIFE, MY HEALTH, and MY FUTURE!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
