My fridge, quite messy, you know it’s European fridge when there is lots of wine inside lol. I never drunk though, it my parents aunties etc etc. We are 5 people home.

First days update: walking much more, enrolled myself to gym, trying to not weight myself every day, lost two pounds.

Fitness plan : will try to swim at least three times per week, walk 10k every day.

Fitness plan / activity: just last night I said to hubs I want to start walking so we got up off our behinds and went for a brisk walk in the chilly (but lovely) evening. We're going to do it again tonight God willing. So my aim is to do half an hour brisk walk every day.

So your thighs are smaller relative to your hiney. Correct?

Here I am playing catch up! I’ll take a before pic when I get home from work. January goals include increasing my activity by daily cardio on the bike or elliptical and strength training 2-3 times/ week. My major goal of 2018 was actually having the surgery! I had vsg on 10/2/18. Proudest moment of 2018 was a Dec ‘17 - Dec ‘18 F2F that I will include in this post. The best motivation for me is keeping up with everyone’s success! Thanks for the positivity and encouraging posts to everyone! January’s fitness plan is the same as my goals for January. Thanks so much for this challenge! ❤️

Here is my progress pic from yesterday. 1 week finished. Today is the start of week 2 for me. I can't tell any difference. LOL. There's about 4.5 lbs difference between the photos.

I've been on a roll with my fitness plan for about 2 months- so happy i found something that works for me.

Sun, Mon, Wed, Thurs: elliptical warmup then weight training- the music is key!

Tuesday is "me day"! I try to do something active that's fun or new. So far I've tried swimming, yoga, and bootcamp. I want to try martial arts, pilates, barre and kickboxing. But sometimes I just go to the gym to sink into the hot tub and hang in the sauna to pamper my hard-working muscles.

I am not perfect about following this plan. I'm getting better about rolling with it if something comes up and I try not to let it derail me for the week. Anyone else have control issues? Weekends are for hiking with the fam or adventuring around town.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
