Well thanks! I'm doing great Today is 3 months and 65 lbs down. Have had a little less energy lately, but working on it! How are you?

Thank you so much ladies!! Sorry I haven't been on in a while ~ I really appreciate your messages!!!

Ok I found you now. Where's a picture of you? Booo

Deb ~ Thank you! Hubby is doing great and has lost somewhere around 40 lbs now (he hasn't weighed in a while, our home scale is so inaccurate) he is feeling really good, more energy, better attitude

thank you for asking, I am just about to write the whole update but it went great and my surgery is going to be a week from tomorrow!!!

Your story resonated with me! I wish you all the best.

Hey babe thanks for checking on me! I am doing well. I just posted an update but I am down 28 lbs in 3 weeks. I don't really know if/when I stall because i'm not weighing at home. I probably will weigh at some point before my next appointment since it's 3 whole weeks away, but not sure. I do know in my 2nd week I only lost 3 lbs compared to 18 the first week and 7 this week... But I'm sure stalls are coming, they are just a part of weight loss, our bodies need time to adjust to everything. My advice is put away the scale for a good 2 weeks and then hop back on. Use the time to focus on your good new habits, exercise, making some new foods to try, having fun with your hobbies, etc - don't let the number on the scale be high priority

Hey y'all... I'm around and doing well... passed my 100 lbs lost now I don't like the new VST so I just don't come around much anymore but you can always see what's new on my blog. http://christies-blog.com

Hi Happy Destiny and thanks for the message! I don't 100% understand this site yet so I hope I am posting this in the right place for you to see it. May 18th - so exciting!! My consultation is not until May 12th, so I will be at least a few weeks past you in having surgery but hopefully we can be a support to one another!!

(I posted this on mine too, I don't know which place I'm supposed to post it lol)

Thank you so much!! I am feeling pretty calm actually. I was more nervous before the consult than I am right now. Haha. But I might start feeling it tomorrow :) How are you doing?

Thanks so much!!!

Hi Barbara! I'm in Northglenn, how about you? Have you already had your surgery? Where and when? I am planning to use Dr. Snyder in Denver

Hey sweetie and thank you! I don't feel like I'm melting but I know it is a good pace! I have carried the weight my whole life but yes I'm 27 so I'm sure that does help. I haven't been tracking the past couple weeks but when I was, my carbs were anywhere from 35grms-60grms a day. I haven't really changed what I'm eating so that's probably where it's at. I honestly don't think lack of carbs is a huge deal, but having ENOUGH protein is. I was really slow going for a few weeks and then I started adding a protein shake back in and poof 6 lbs in 8 days. I think it is helping a lot. Gave me a little more energy too.

Thank you!!

Hi Linda! Pretty much the same stuff that goes on my facebook page ends up in my blog but if you would like to follow it my facebook profile is at Christie Stearns | Facebook

I'm glad you find my posts helpful!! That is why I try to be so detailed, not only for myself but for others because when I found other's blogs or videos before surgery I felt like it helped me so much.

Well thank you Dansha!

You are toooooo sweet

Your comment made me smile Thank you

Thank you! And great news on your surgery!!!!

Thanks for your comment about my 12 week photos! We are the same age - 27 My bday is May 7 1983 I'm so glad to have done this at this age instead of waiting til my health got even worse. Do you feel the same? Wishing you all the best!
