Hi there! Thanks for adding me as a friend! Congrats on your loss to date...keep it up!

Hi valleygirl! Thanks for adding me as a friend. I saw that you're stuck after only 17 pounds in a month...lol. What I wouldn't give for those numbers again!! I don't think anything is wrong...remember that your body is going to lose weight in spurts...it's not a steady downward track for most of us...I lose 5 pounds one week then nothing for 10 days...that sort of thing. Chin up!

I can't believe I only have 40 pounds to go...this surgery has SO amazingly improved my life...I'm grateful every day!!

I certainly hope we can get to goal by August...lol. If not, I'll probably cry just a little bit. But, I need to focus on the positive, right? 76 down, only 20 to go. And you have even less until a normal BMI, you little stinker. Lol. Have a great day and chat with you soon!

I haven't stopped weighing every day...I can't help it...but plus I think it kind of keeps me focused on being healthy. I think if I don't keep it near the front of my mind then I slip into old habits...but that's just what works for me. I couldn't go until Thurs without weighing! But, if that's what you need to do, good luck!!

I hope I don't annoy all of you posting pound by pound, but I'm under 20 pounds to go!! Only 19...that's a super great feeling!

I'm there! I'm there! Woooo! 175! No longer obese!! I'll take overweight vs. obese any day. I feel great!!

I'm with you - slow going now at this point in time. I have 21 pounds until a normal BMI, and I'm getting excited because it's so close, but am also frustrated at how slowly I've been losing compared to before. But, sticking to what we know works for us will get us to our goals! In a few months we'll look back and laugh at how we were worried about not hitting goal, right? Lol...have a great day

Lol...ironically, that is the guy that I was dating but we just decided to end things. Too many differences. So...back on the market! I'm ok with it, we were just different people with different personalities.

Morning! I have a hard time not weighing every morning...the way I see it, I expect the scale to go up and down and it always goes back down eventually, and what would I do if after a week it was up? Then I think I would be more sad than if it was just up one day...IDK...but don't ask me...if my thinking was normal about all this, I wouldn't be here in the first place.

Officially at 75 pounds lost. Woooo!

Oh, and feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about being a little bit further out in the process...but I just wanted to say that you're doing a great job if you're down 17 pounds! Keep up the great work!

On a totally not weight loss-related topic, I had a really fun first date last night...this one might have some potential...

only 2 more pounds and then I'm no longer considered obese! overweight I can handle! lol...32 to goal!

ooh...I joined a gym a few weeks ago, and I really like it. I just need to convince myself to go all the time! lol. sorry it has been so long...life gets so busy all the time! how's your progress going??

Ooh...only one pound to go!! Yippee!! Congrats!!

So happy Monday everyone...and my good news of the day: I bought size 12 jeans on Friday and they're not even snug!!! That was my goal from the beginning so it's a huge NSV!!

So I'll put this out there - what's your thought on a few days of liquids only to get rid of my sugary cravings/habits? Is that "dieting" or is it a smart move? Is there a better option? I need to do something.......

So if any of you are actually paying attention...lol...I didn't gain weight recently but finally broke down n got a digital scale so it's weighing me higher than before. Mentally it sucks but I'm holding steady weight-wise.

so... a question for you - can you visualize yourself skinny? it kind of throws me off...i've been chubby for so long that i have a hard time imagining it...and it scares me alot. what if i don't like myself skinny? what if i can't get used to it? kind of a silly thought, i know, but i'm comfortable where i'm at right now, although not healthy....ok, i'm rambling. i'd love to hear more from you! good luck with the rest of your liquid days and only a few more til surgery!! yeah!!

So...I'm back. I won't lie...the last few months I haven't really been focused on being a healthy version of myself...so, a few pounds have crept back on. I'm not hopeless, but I am struggling a bit. Any suggestions for how to get back on track? Checking in here is my first step...

Thanks for the add! My surgery is Aug 20th, so coming up pretty quickly! I start liquids on Friday and am a little nervous, but more excited to finally be getting to where I want to be in this whole process! Are you nervous or more excited?

Thanks for the compliment on the new pic, Deb! I hope you have a spectacular weekend!!

Thanks for the encouragement!! I've really only gone down a pound or two since the end of November, and it's just rough because I'm not used to it!! But, I'm trying to be patient and stay with the plan...hopefully it will work! Congrats on breaking your stall!
