Now that I'm past that he asked me if I was done. When I said no, he was surprised, and said I looked great. I told him not so much when I'm naked! I'm 16 lbs away now too, and I know I'm not going to be satisfied there. I'm thinking 130 or so. As long as I don't lose my butt! If the next 20-30lbs could strictly come from my love handles, stomach, and back... I'd be very happy. 5 Orchids&Dragons, FluffyChix, sillykitty and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xoxococojay 842 Posted September 6, 2018 Same!! I hate those....omg i didn’t lose 30 pounds in 3 weeks posts. Like i don’t want to insult anyone but i can’t help but laugh. I also hate those “oh i eat slider foods all day, why am i not losing weight posts” Lastly i also hate those posts from people who obsess over every little thing instead of just enjoy the process. Like relax already, take a xanax or something.😂 2 1 GreenTealael, JessLess and TakingABreak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd help ya get back up girlfriend, but then we'd have to log about it and wonder how many cals we expended in the back flip and the isometric exercise of pulling you up off your skinny asprin bottle!

"I took a sip of Water with my meal, did I stretch my sleeve??"

I noticed this too and I'm so excited for you @AshAsh1!!! Our starting weights and day of surgery weights are so similar and you are a huge inspiration to me. I dream about my weight starting with the number 1. You give me hope it will happen! Congrats 1 1 TakingABreak and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Z 4,139 Posted September 10, 2018 Have to add "Why am I not losing as fast as others".... it's funny in this current social norm where everyone is unique and special that people are constantly trying to compare themselves to others... everyone is different, even a set of twins having the same surgery from the same doctor and doing everything else the exact same way, would lose at different rates. 5 sillykitty, Orchids&Dragons, clsumrall and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
