  1. thank you so much!!! i appreciate you taking the time to read my vents from that horrible time in my life!
  2. honestly, its one of my main reasons i got it! i didnt want to struggle my entire life! i wanted to give myself a fair chance. i kept thinking about those who are older than methat battled their entire life & get it farther down the line. i knew i had a better chance getting it now. 73lbs is great! congrats on your success!
  3. i will but i believe you have to add me in order to view them. im not exactly sure how it works
  4. thank you so much. i pray you will be equally successful and im sure you will
  5. my boyfriends a personal trainer & bodybuilder. the trick is to focus on one body part at a time & throw in something minor like arms. when lifting weights, your body still burns fat up to 24-48hrs after working out so you want to keep working on different parts. many ppl do full body workouts which are ok but you wont get your max results and you will feel like a zombie leaving the gym! also, when working out back, you are working out your biceps automatically so the trick is to do triceps with back so u really are working out 3 parts while only targeting 2! when doing chest, you automatically workout triceps so you do bicep workouts so u r doing 2 but working out 3! just a little trick. also, legs r most important & ppl often neglect legs. we forget that legs is 1/2 our body & we are the strongest in our legs and we burn the most calories for a longer period of time doing legs! if u take in as much Protein as possible, you wont be as sore the more you workout. these are my workout tips! i hope they help.
  6. thank you ladies!! honestly, i dont have any tips. i lost most of my weight when i had my leak. i didnt eat for over a month & i was very sick! i was throwing up bile about 10+ times a day. it was bad! but i guess a good tip would be, dont TRY things you know youre not supposed to have. for example, soda! i know many sleevers who picked up this habit again & it causes tthem no discomfort. i lived on soda & cut it out 8months ago & have not tried it since! i never really "dieted". i ate what i want when i wanted. the weight kept falling off. it did kill my food addiction. when trying foods, u will see that most dont sit well & u probably will try it again but eventually will realize that you dont get the same satisfaction therefore u no longer want it. i lived on pizza! now, pizza looks like blah to me. lol. i didnt start working out until last week lol. i was supposed to workout mon-fri but only worked out mon & tues. today, im back at it! my workout routine will look like this.. monday: back, abs & biceps & 30mins cardio tuesday: chest & triceps & 30mins cardio wednesday: no weights, abs, 1hr cardio thursday: shoulders & 30mins cardio friday: legs, no cardio sat & sun: off now, i didnt go yesterday so im not taking off wednesday & im doing shoulders & legs on friday. hopefully, ill lose a lot more this week from exercising so hard & cutting out sweets. my meals consist of 2 chicken breast with no skin & 2 sides of corn from boston market. a Protein bar & sometimes a Protein shake. i split the breast up into 4 meals. i hope this helped some
  7. i started at 273lbs and today i weighed in at 173! i have before and after pics in my gallery! (you must add me as a friend to view them) i went thru hell & back to get here after being diagnosed with a leak at week 5 but i overcame it. my short term goal is to be 155lbs by my 24th birthday on aug 26th. my long term goal is to be 135lbs. wish me luck!
  8. i finally weighed myself this morning & i am down 3lbs. although 3lbs is great, im disappointed that it wasnt more but i know why its not more... i only worked out 2x last week! so ill be grateful for what ive lost. im 18lbs from my goal.
  9. unfortunately, once it grows in, it doesnt stop until the root is killed. although pcos mightve caused it, it wont stop growing in cuz pcos is gone.. if that makes sense. i have thick facial hair too. i hate it
  10. i was dying to weigh myself today to see if ive lost any weight to get closer to my goal but i didnt get to a scale so i guess ill have to wait until tomorrow! hopefully ive lost atleast 5lbs. lol. usually in the 1st week of working out, u drop the most. im praying lol
  11. my goodness thats scary! pets do help tho. i have 1 cat, 3 fish, 2 baby turtles & 2 bearded dragons. those r my babies!
  12. wow! god bless u guys. i have no kids. i had surgery in hopes that id be healthier and be able to have a baby as well.
  13. omg!!!!! did u ever go to a dr? thats crazy! id go nuts. i rather have no period than an 18month period
  14. im 7months post op. ive been getting my menstral since the age of 8. im now turning 24. about 4yrs ago, i was diagnosed with pcos after not getting my period for over 7months straight. since ive gotten it, ive kept track of it ever since. since surgery, ive been getting my menstral but its never on time. either super late or too early but it does come. has anyone been 100% cured? i dont want to get on birth control. i just wish my body would do it on its own!!! heres my cycle since it disappeared for 7months & came back one day. ***the days later mean i got it on this day & it took that many days for my next one to come. (for example, june 20: 44days later means my menstral came june 20th & it took 44 days to get my next one which is aug 3rd)*** menstral cycle june 20: 44days later aug 3: 57days later sept 29: 35days later nov 1: 33days later nov 29: 27days later dec 26: 31days later jan 26: 77days later april 13: 28days later may 10: 36days later june 15: 32days later july 17: 43days later aug 29: 31days later sept 29: 30days later oct 29: 62days later dec 30: 34days later feb 3: 34 days later mar 9: 87 days later june 4: 26 days later july 2: 172 days later dec 21: 12 days later jan 2: 35 days later feb 6: 24 days later march 1: 52 days later april 21: 30 days later may 21: 35 days later june 25: 24 days later july 19

  16. i been kinda stressed lately. i am sore from working out & ive been just very snappy latelyz i been getting horrible trnsion headaches which put me in the worst moods! today i drove to the gym with my personal trained (who is also my boyfriend of 10yrs) & we sat in the car for 30mins. i really wasnt feeling it. we ended up driving back home. just in a real crappy mood! ;( so i didnt do cardio yesterday or today! well yesterday i did a lot of running around so i wasnt sitting still but today, i was lazy! tomorrows another day. my goal is still 21lbs by aug 26th. lets go!
  17. i was sleeved. i dont think lap band patients can get leaks. i had to have 3 upper endoscopys to place the stent, fix the stent & then remove the stent. and thank you!
