March Sleevers

[amchurch12000 44]

I started at 269 and I am now 206.5. My surgery was March 31. I have been having a real struggle with cheating lately so my weight loss has slowed. I also need to go back to the gym. I am freaking out about the hair loss and trying to do everything I can to stop it or slow it down, but according to my dermatologist I just have to wait it out and get in more Protein.

Surgery was March 23rd and I'm down 52 since then. 66 since January

Three month check-in. I'm down a total of 54 pounds...including pre-op diet. I'm sitting at 196. I have to be honest about two things. 1. I have GOT to start exercising more, I know it will help with my weight loss and how I look! 2. I'm really getting scared of the amount I can eat now, it seems to be so much larger. I will start weighing my food to see just how much I'm eating but my nutritionist not to eat over a cup of food at each meal and I think I'm pretty close!

I'm down 38 since the end of March but I get the cast off my foot tomorrow. I hope being able to put weight on my foot and move more helps me move along faster.

@@janeaddams Just wanted to say that I love your profile picture! Mrs. Beasley! Buffy, Jody, Sissy, Mr. French and Uncle Bill! Boy that's a trip down nostalgia lane! ????

And if you just happened to pick that picture out of the air and have no idea what I'm talking about - never mind. ☺️

Surgery was March 10th and I'm down 103lbs. I actually enjoy shopping for myself now! My shirts were a 3x (some were pushing it) and now my shirts are mostly XL (some XL even being to big). I want to do another 30 lbs at least I'd not 40-50 (taking small baby steps). I really don't miss food. People eat sweets and junk around me and I honestly do not care. Being "thin" and healthy is a way better feeling. I feel so wonderful!

NSV -

- Coaching daughter tball team this summer

- wrapping a normal size towel around me and it fitting!

- people that I know fairly well not seeing me for two months and not recognizing me when they do

- dressing up

- my hair - it feels amazing and looks amazing. I never realized how the food I put in my body could have an effect on my hair! Ever since surgery and better food choices my hair feels/looks good! Like I just went to the salon that day!

- exercising- it's actually a little addictive and the days I don't get my at least 3 mile walk in I feel guilty and crappy.

- my hubby being able to wrap his arms all around my waist with extra room to spare. This feels sooo good!

- my confidence - it has sky rocketed! I walk around my house in a sports bra and don't feel like I have to hide my body in front of my hubby.

I know I have so many more but this is what I can think of off my head right now.

What are some of yours?

Surgery 3/26/15

HW: 302

CW: 228 (-74)

It is sooooo crazy how if I eat bad foods (bad, bad girl), I don't feel full, but a half a scrambled egg or 3 bites of grilled chicken make me belch like crazy because I am FULL. Obviously this is how I hit 302. It's getting a lot easier to live my new life but I could always use more exercise. Lots of great NSVs

Great job, everyone!!!

---- One more thing -- how the H does low-fat vanilla yogurt have 40 grams of sugar and honey roasted peanuts have 4 grams? The sugar content of foods has definitely been eye-opening.

I tried to do the Buffy pigtails, but could never pull it off.

Funny to think this was a Buffy that was pre Vampire Slayer era. My dog is named Buffy. ????

Three months and 3 weeks out and today I hit my half way there! 51 pounds lost and 51 more to go! Yeah sleeve!

Hi everyone! So nice to see everyone's progress. I had surgery on March 24th and I'm down 68 lbs. Yay. I'm too need to start exercising! That's a big hurdle for me! I feel so much better. I can't believe how much easier it is to move around. So very happy! I think I have about 20 more pounds to lose and then I'll see how I feel about where I'm at. Question for you guys. Do you have anything you can't eat? For me, it's scones. So strange! It feels like a rock in my belly and then my stomach is cranky for days afterwards. Like everything I eat makes me feel bad...almost a little nauseous. Just wondering if you guys suffer from the same thing.
