allyray 108 Posted December 9, 2015 So glad to see all of you on here. Let's keep this thread going! It's nice to see how everyone is doing! I have just been suffering for the last 2 days with that dreaded stomach flu. Bright side of it is I've lost 3 lbs in one day! lol. All Fluid I know! Anyhow I started out At 294 and today I am 203 so I've has a fairly quick drop as I've been so freaking strict with my plan. hair loss has finally stopped and growing back now. Lots of loose skin, but hoping with lots of exercise and Water that should help. Over all, my experience has been wonderful and I would do it again in a heart beat. I am off all my blood pressure and diabetes meds so I've accomplished my main goal! Congrats everyone and keep up the good work!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abbie213 2 Posted December 9, 2015 I have gotten past my stall. Sw237 cw 187.... not enough Fluid was the main culprit and the meds for the swelling and erosion slow down my digestive tract but back on track ,which makes me feel soo much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BariatricBarb 84 Posted December 29, 2015 Sleeved June 10th. Sw 254 cw 177.2. Still learning how to "drive" this new life, but am thankful for it every day. I will be happy when the holidays are all behind and life and eating (and temptations and cravings) are behind for a little while. I told my hubby I want size 10 jeans for Valentine's Day.

shrinkydinker 3 Posted February 14, 2016 Just wanted to see/hear how everyone is doing, it's been a couple of months since there's been any activity on here. I finally passed the 100# mark -- a big milestone for me psychologically. The next is getting below 200#. Only 0.5 to go! Haven't been at this weight for over 20 years. Working out has been my new favorite thing to do to take care of myself. (I never thought those words would come out of my mouth!) I still struggle with fluids, seems like every day, make me feel too full, too fast. hair loss has slowed wayyy down. Stalls not effecting me as much -- I know the weight loss will continue as long as I keep doing what I know is best for me. Would love to hear where everyone else is on their journey.

Hisbrowneyedgirl 175 Posted February 15, 2016 I it 165lb loss, but I now only weigh in once a month. I was obsessing weighing more. Fluids are still a struggle for me, which leaves me with leg cramps at night. I was a size 30, now a 10. Love my new life and how I feel. I can play on the ground with my baby boy!

allyray 108 Posted February 15, 2016 My weight loss has slowed down considerably and haven't really lost much in the last 2 months. Starting weight was 295 cw 204. hair is growing back. I was struggling with Water and protien as well but getting lots in now. Feeling really tired lately so I might call my nutritionist about that. Over all, other than the extra skin I have, I'm still very happy with my decision and my results. Still have 24 lbs to go to get to goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevenv 483 Posted February 15, 2016 I was a low BMI (33) when I started this journey, but I had a lot of comorbidities. I've gone from 200 pounds to 140, where I've seemed to be hovering now for a month. The great news is that my high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea are gone! I can definitely eat more now than I could the first six months and I am starting to struggle with food choices. Those damn carbs are still as addictive as before and they certainly don't fill me up like Protein does. The honeymoon is definitely over. But exercise is easy when your knees and lungs don't hurt, so I need to concentrate on burning calories in order to maintain. Drinking Water is also a lot easier these days too!

Mel77 67 Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) How is everyone? I'm down 120lbs since June. I seem to have leveled off now I need to start working out! I need motivation! Edited April 10, 2016 by Mel77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaxmom1974 53 Posted April 10, 2016 I'm down 70# and only have 5# to go until I reach goal. I'm working out like crazy but old habits are creeping up that I have to really be mindful of. Water is still a chore, but I'm getting there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
