I'm so thrilled for you!! I remember this!! You are looking so great in your pics!! AWESOME JOB!! I noticed your highest weight was 421. My highest was 400. When I joined here, I only entered 390 as that was the weight I was at when I started trying to lose some more 'on my own' as I was going through the insurance process (SO LONG) to get approved for bariatric surgery. 5 years later and I'm wondering if I should have changed my weight to the highest I ever was or if that is confusing to anyone. Again, I'm just so very happy for you! 2 SleeveToBypass2023 and Kris77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, I'm just so very happy for you! Thank you!! I thought about changing my highest weight, but that's not what I was when I had my surgery and I wanted to track my progress from my surgery weight. I did Keto to lose the weight my doctor wanted me to lose, and it was amazing for that short amount of time. Taught me a lot about watching calories and especially carbs. Also taught me about making some better choices with the alternative foods that are out there. So I'm glad I did it. And it allowed me to lose the weight I needed to rather quickly. I needed to lose 30 pounds and I lost 33. 2 KarenLR75 and Arabesque reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL thank you. I just don't want to start any political (or religious, for that matter) debates in here. I know my particular political leanings can be viewed as controversial to some, and I want this to continue to be a safe space without the issues politics can, and usually does, bring. But I like that you liked my views 2 KarenLR75 and Kris77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

summerseeker 2,236 Posted June 6, 2024 Another milestone in your journey. So incredibly well done. You have worked so hard for it. You must be the poster girl for your team. Are you going to push on for the secret goal now ? 1 SleeveToBypass2023 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone is telling me that I look great where I'm at, but if I lose much more, I could start looking sickly. There's truth to that because I'm actually curvy and bog boned, so I carry my weight differently. I'm told I look between 170-175 and not even close to 190, so I'm wondering if 180 will have me looking too thin and not healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
