March 2014 Sleevers

[hisandhersleeves 19]

I just yesterday went through my closet and got rid of all my old clothes...I haven't fit in most of them for some time now but couldn't bring myself to give them away...I am so scared that I will gain this weight back...I still have another 40 pounds to my goal weight...not sure that I'll make it there by the one year mark, but as long as I'm still losing I'm happy.

So how did everyone manage over Thanksgiving? I usually weigh myself on Fridays but I decided to skip this week...LOL...I have recently hit "onederland" and didn't want to ruin my high after just one week! Hope everyone is still doing well!

Very strange week. I'm down 8 lbs since the previous Thursday "thanks" to food poisoning from tasty, but bad seafood the weekend before T-giving. As of Sunday, I'm actually feeling normal but Thanksgiving goodies were not an issue. One great NSV, one of my nieces saw me and "as only a child can" said "Aunt Susie, You look great". That was truly the best part of my holiday. Still sick, but I look and feel SO much better than this time last year. Hope y'all's holidays are going well!!!!

Hi everyone! I decided to not deprive myself on Thxgiving. I had a small plate of "a little of everything" which I did not finish of course, but it sure made me feel better having it in front of me.

Only 15 lbs until goal! Slowly starting to incorporate a little more calories here and there since it seems like I might have trouble coming to a hault once I reach goal.

Hope everyone is doing great.

Hi Everyone, how is everyone's losing going now? I still feel that I have a ways to go. I have slowed right down, I am lucky if I loose a half a kilo in a fortnight. I am getting about 900cal a day, is that too much? I walk three times a week, training once a week and konga (weights and burn) once a week.

Just wondering what people are doing to kick start the weightloss once it has slowed. I am in a 16 and have been for two months now, would love to drop that one more dress size before January.

Thanks, and you are all doing super!

I am still plugging away at this...my weight loss has come to a crawl but I haven't been exercising at all since the weather has been colder. I still have about 40 pounds until goal so I'm hoping slow and steady wins the race!

Thanksgiving was't too bad. I have learned to listen to my body. I just ate very small plates. Instead of using the normal size plates i used the desert plates for my food and got small amounts of all my faves. I am 17lbs from my goal and hit onederland about a month ago. I started working with a new personal trainer and that was the key for me. He pushed me with out causing me and pain due to my sports injuries as a teen. I am feeling great even though I am fighting a cold right now. Hope everyone is doing well.

10 months out now! Crazy how time flies! Still at 135 lbs lost as I did not lose any weight during the holidays. I'm happy I didn't gain anything!

It'll be one year before we know it guys!!

How did you all determine your goal weight? My surgeon never told me a specific number so I looked at the BMI chart to see what the range for healthy is and made that my goal. I'm 5'10" and currently weigh 195 and my goal (according to said BMI chart) is 165. I've been at my current weight since the middle of November so I'm wondering if this is it for me? Has anyone else hit a never-ending plateau and decided this must be it?

I used the BMI chart to determine mine as well. I've been stalled since November as well (darn holidays threw me off my groove!) I've got 14 lbs to go.

Cant believe it will be a year soon. I was sleeved on 3/28/2014 the day my hole life changed. I am only 4lbs from my goal and have lost 122lbs. This has been an amazing journey and I am so looking forward to the future. Hope everyone is doing well and reaching their goals.
