The fitbit aria scale is about two pounds off from my old scale. But it is WAY more consistent than my old one. So I trust it more. It's awesome that it uploads to my fitbit app and fitbit sends the data to MyFitnessPal. I'm finding tracking everything is getting easier and easier as I go.

I just read this whole thread and I'm so inspired by your journey! Keep up the great work! You look great on that horse -- was that on your list of things to do when you lost weight?

Things have slowed down a little for me, which I'm totally alright with. My nutritionist added in some more carbs and fat. I was dropping 1 to 2 pounds a day now it's much slower, about a pound every couple days. I'm down 110 pounds and feeling really good. I've been going to the gym four to five times a week and am in the best shape of my adult life. If my weight loss stopped now I would perfectly content. My surgeon would like me to get down to 200. Guess I'd be alright with that as well.

I've been using the PatchMD Vitamin patch, just had my blood drawn the other day and have an appointment with my surgeon this afternoon. Time will tell how well it's worked for me.

Happy to report my blood tests came back with excellent results. The only level that was a little low was Vitamin D. But I do live in Seattle, everyone's Vitamin D is low here.

I'm down 120 pounds now. Nothing has really changed with my activity or eating. No news is good news . Only thing I'm struggling with is getting more variety in my diet.

It's been a while since I've posted. Thought I'd give an update. I've continued to go to the gym and eat within my surgeons plan. I'm down 155lbs now. Meals are getting easier as I learn more about what I can and cannot have.

It is AWESOME!! I'm really happy with how things are going. I went from a size 48 jeans to a size 34 and a size 4x shirt to an XL.

Thanks for posting all this, it was nice to read. My surgery will be in August and I'm committed to it but finding it hard to get excited and feeling fearful and unsure. Hearing other people's stories is helpful. You look great!

DB, great job and inspirational. Thanks for your story. I'm booked in for a gastric sleeve in 3 weeks. Excited to make this change in my life after being overweight in varying degrees my whole life! Currently at around 320 lbs.

Thank you for the kind words! I went to my first support group yesterday. I think it was pretty good. I plan on continuing to go. Hopefully it will help me keep my head in the game. Maybe my experiences can help others who are just beginning their journey.

Been hovering around the same weight for a while now. This morning I weighed in two pounds lighter. Guess the scale isn't done yet
