Great idea! Would be a nice visual reminder.

I have some family rings that I have not been able to wear as they are too small and I am hoping to fit later.

I've been buying myself jewelry at specific intervals along the way (50#/75#/60% EWL loss, etc) - mostly not expensive, but I have my eyes on something really nice for 100# down. :)

That sounds like a good idea. I haven't decided what my "reward" is going to be when I reach goal weight.

Honestly I’m thinking about getting a tattoo.
Still haven’t figured out what it will say, but something that will make me remember this journey and how important it is to stay on track for life

My suggestion: a bird tattoo, a Phoenix , rising from the ashes of the past. When Life tried to declaw you, they forgot About your wings and now you can fly, swift and strong into your future!

One of my goals is to run a marathon and get a tattoo that symbolizes both my weight loss and finishing a marathon. I want a Ariel tattoo in human form wearing running clothes with a race bid with the number of pounds I’ve lost.

I wish tough mudder was a little further away to have more time to heal because I would love to do that one.

I have the same idea. I want something on my inner arm post-arm lift to cover some of the scar and it'll be weight loss related somehow. Not sure exactly what yet, though.

Ivy is nice but how about a shooting star or comet. After all You are the Star of your own success!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
