25% gone for good



Recommended Posts

I am so excited. I have lost 25% of the weight I want to lose. I now weight less than I did when I started dating my husband. My next goal is to get under the weight that I was at our wedding. We have been married 5 years, and 50lbs.....

I also decided to run a 1/2 marathon in October of this year, so I started training for that, and I hate to have to admit that exercise is making a difference.

That's all for now, just needed to share my excitement!:clap2:

Congrats,

That is great. I sure wished I had the will to do something like that. I guess I'll just stick to my treadmill, lol. Doesn't it feel good to know your well on your way to your goal.

Way to go.

Dear Jeannie,

You should shout it out!!! 25% is GREAT!!! Half of half-way!! lol

Exercise does make a difference. I think it really helps the mind too.

There will be hills and valleys remember and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the support, you all are wonderful. I went out for a walk/jog again this evening. I can't believe the difference that 22 pounds makes. I already feel better and healthier.

I love this band! It is so amazing to me to eat less than 1/2 of what I use to and be satisfied. I "feel" like I have eaten so much more than I actually have, if I didn't have the "leftovers" for proof, sometimes I'd swear I'd eaten the whole meal.

I am so excited, this is the first time in my life when I've lost weight and not been in constant fear that I was going to gain it all back. When I took fen-phen and lost 35 lbs, I kept dreaming that I would wake up and I would have gained it all back over night. It's so nice not to feel like that. It's coming off a little slower this time, but I am ok with that, I love knowing that I am going to do it this time and I have a tool to help me keep it off, so this is the last time I will have to lose it.....! Yeah....me!!!:rolleyes:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
