I changed my picture -- there have been some pretty noticeable changes in just eight weeks. My face is smaller and I've lost some chins along the way.

 

I'm tired today, but I haven't really eaten since Sunday -- just shakes -- after the fill Monday. But I exercise a lot and have more energy (usually) than I have in 10 years.

 

I'm down at least two sizes -- from 22s to 18s -- but I haven't tried on clothes -- I'm going by the stuff in my closet that doesn't feet and needs belts, safety pins or is in the tailor pile.

 

I've met some fantastic people in the last two months. Caring, compassionate, knowledgeable people who listen, provide advice, support and a shoulder to cry on. Most of those people are from this site and I can't thank you all enough.

 

Here's to the next eight weeks!

Congrats! I remember getting into those 18's! It felt wonderful too. I could not let myself believe that I would be in 16's too soon after that and did not get any, then the 18's were falling off of me! Every 10 lbs or so, I was down a size! It was wonderful, went from a 24-26 to 14 regulars! It is the best feeling. God Bless You as you grow smaller! The next 8 weeks will bring lots of joy and blessings!

So nice to hear your wonderful story. I am 13 days post op and have lost weight but I'm looking forward to dropping that first size. My pre-op clothes still fit but they are getting really loose. Patience is a virtue!

Keep up the great work! I'm happy for you!

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
