BrandNewLisa...it's awesome that you have made it down to the 2's. I know once I cross over the 250 point on the scale I will feel victorious. I can't even imagine what it will feel like to hit Onederland! You are doing awesome keep it up!

13_1_213.gif No matter where we began our journey and where we are now, we are all a success. Just think of where we would be without the surgery and the tool to help us get healthy . WE are like a team helping each other. We joy in each other's success and encourage each other to be positive and we will all succeed..

Today's my baby boy's birthday . He's 20 now !! Where did the years go ? We plan on going to the Mexican Restaurant .

I went to the gym for the first time Tuesday was there for 1.5 hrs. The trainer set up a program for my friend and me and worked us thru it and when we went back yesterday the owner was there and he made us a different program and worked us thru it . We were there for 2.5 hrs. He told us that it should take us about 1 hr. to do it once we get going . We're going back today so we'll see. I was so tired when I got home I had an egg and a yogurt for supper . I feel alot better both mentally and physically .

So, success on the scales today: a 2 lb drop!

11 more to go for the Century!

11 pounds in 24 days - I think I can do it...

And if I can't, it's still going in the right direction. I hope to hit 90 lost by Monday.

No, heck - I hope to hit it by Friday...

You can do it Fenton.....!!!! 100 lbs...incredible...think about where you were this time last year!!! it is only a stone's throw away.....:lol::biggrin2::embaressed_smile::lol:

HI everyone!

Christine - How exciting! I can't wait to join you under 250! I am thrilled for you!

Fenton - I believe that folks will "notice" your weight loss once you get clothes that fit! I think people don't always notice when you loose a little weight, they notice the different clothes.

Well, sounds like we are doing pretty good. What a great thing for us all!

BNLisa and Lynnt1215 -- I am back to my Water aerobics class at the local community pool - this one is outside in the summer and the instructor really runs our butts off in class for a solid hour twice a week.

For anyone who is intimidated to go to a Water aerobics class, never fear, there are plenty of folks (Men and Women) out there who need to lose alot of weight and they are there exercising to try to do just that so GO! You'll enjoy it.

Iam more of a lap swimmer but I did go to a Water aerobics class a few years ago with a friend that could not swim. She made me promise to stay by her side. By the end of the session she was bopping along with the best of them. We would have done another session but the pool was being closed for repairs. So if you aren't going because of a fear of the water-GO! You never put you head under. You can stay in the shallow end, about waist high. Water is the perfect environment for gentle workouts (easy on the joints).

Congrats everyone on their super weight loss:drool::blushing:.Question about the bodybugg,Is the armband large enough for very large arms or do you need extentions.Also is it worth the money.The wii fit was so worth it.

I was also wondering with proper restriction would I still be able to eat a full hamburger or full sandwich.

Sorry I don't have one but I would think it would fit. Nobody has complained of it not fitting.

Probably not. I don't think I have really great restriction but I couldn't eat a full size anything right now without feeling some discomfort. I think the real question is should you?

I totally agree about how people really notice your weight loss when you get new clothes that fit right. I finally had to give in and buy some new clothes and omg the compliments I got last week made me feel like a million bucks!!!

7_5_131.gif Clothes that fit make for a great NSV. I have bought new pants and shirts. and looking at myself as I walk by a store window, I can actually see the difference. What a boost to the ego

I was measured last week and have lost 4 inches in both my waist and hips.. woohoo!!! I actually had a friend call me "slim" the other day.

      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.
