CT Fats

The sleeve is a tool and to build a temple it takes smart use of said tool. I know you said one ice cream didn't make you fat and of course it didn't but the habits that you fostered (McDonalds) did. With it being so easy to fall back into bad habits, I would use the grace period to retrain myself to make long lasting and better decisions. A 'low fat' cone from McDonalds is 10% saturated fat, has 60mg of sodium and 24g of carbs. Grabbed this recipe for ya, I have made them before and they are tasty, hope it helps the craving.

That is just INCREDIBLE! You look like your younger, slimmer sister.

That is so cool, happy for you!

Some great answers! It seems we all have similar reasons for our decision. And I commend all of you for your courage and fortitude.

Awesome, You look younger and happier.

Just Curious, if anybody had a defininig moment when they made up their mind that the weight had to come off. I will start it off. I was at the playground with my son and there weren't many kids around so I decided to play with him. After chasing him around for fifteen minutes I couldn't go on. I was hot, sweaty and felt like I would pass out. I took him away from his fun in the sun so I could get back to my easy chair and the air conditioner. I wasn't gonna let my fatness ruin his childhood.

Sounds awesome! Not a big cauliflower fan but I think I will sub for broccoli.

Big difference! Looking good!

I would never have even knew that the first pic was you! Great job!

WoW! Looking hooot!

You are being modest. That is more than a difference! Congrats

50 years of mashed potatoes and soup. LOL that sounds horrible. Check out some of the recipes and threads in here. You will be surprised at all the yummy foods people can still chow down on and lose.

You have so much to be happy for that I'm happy for you. COngrats

Congrats bro! You deserve it.

Good for you! Speaking as a guy, a woman looks so beautiful in one of our t-shirts.

Congrats on being called gorgeous, you deserve it. Even if he was kinda rude.

Nice. Tell her the rest of you is gone forever.

First, Congrats on making it to surgery day! You have jumped through all the worthless hoops and are there. I would take a few minutes to just soak that up before anything. Second if you have people who do support your decision, give them a ring and tell them how you are feeling. There will always be people standing in the way of your goals you have to have the strength to knock them down. Get some positive energy flowing your way and CHUG that isopure!
