Thank you ladies

Thank you! and no i dont exercise lol.. I eat what i want when I want and have yet to walk, run, or hit a gym. Dont recommend anyone follow those habits.. but hey im only being honest...i WANT to start working out. Ill be in miami for memorial day and want to b close to fitting in a bikini if not in one... my weakness are CHIPS..any chips LOL I just gotta find a routine that works SOLELY for ME and stick to it.. everyone will progress at their own stage anyway ya know?

Hey all I didnt know there was another AA sleevers thread... I always post on the other one. Now I have 2 to stay connected with yay!.. ANywho, im Joy..im 26 and I live in long beach.. was sleeved when i was still 25 (lol) in sept 2011 (sept 1st to be exact). Day of surgery..270 pounds size 20 waist currently im 204 wearing size 11... still wanna lose another 50... ive yet to exercise.. but imma start! I have a trip to miami for memorial day to get me started! LOL

I was sleeved sept 1, 2011... i still wanna lose another 50. Weighed 270 and size 20 jeans day of surgery. CUrrent weight is 204 and size 11 jeans

Surgery date was Sept 1 2011.. highest weight was 285. Day of surgery I was approx 270... as of today down to 204 (and have been here for the past 3 weeks :/) . Nonetheless proud of my progress so far... Was wearing women size 20 waist.. now wearing a size 11. My weight is carried in my boobs and stomach. Legs have always been small... body is just catching up LOL. I will say ive YET to exercise... I really do eat what i want, when I want. However I do recognize im in the critcal part of my post op... the part where I need to do something (eat better, exercise), in order to keep the scale moving... *edit: forgot to add the pic initially LOL*

Hey fam! I havent posted in a few months but wanted to share a side by side pic to display my progress so far..

Well since u put it like that.... lol But yea I know it's bound to come off.. Anytime u drop a significant amount of calories creating a calorie deficit, it WiLL come off ... Surgery or no surgery... My typical day used to be : Breakfast - 2 sausages and 3 scrambled eggs from mcdonalds lunch - 2 jr bacon cheeseburgers, 5 pc nugget and fries from Wendy's dinner - 12 piece nugget, large fries and a large sweet tea. EASILY more than 3500 calories per day.. Now im maxing 500 a day

Likewise.. especially so early out. But we'll get there..one day lol. As long as the scale is moving downwards when it DOES move, im grateful. LOL

Im in the same boat as you...sleeved on sept 1st and only down about 27-28 pounds.. was losing about a pound a day steady for a few weeks...now it seems its slowed greatly... i really hope I havent hit a stall. Either way it can be kind of discouraging..knowing you're eating well under a certain amount and drinking plenty of water..yet nothing is moving on the scale. I stay 'lifted' by my clothes though.. putting them on and feeling how loose they are.. that keeps me smiling

congrats and welcome to the losers bench. im now 22 days out and down 24 pounds when i last checked which was the 18th

SN..............Starting Wt........Current.......Goal.......Lbs to Goal JaiMarie...........263lb................242lb..........200lb..........42bs Good luck to everyone I hope to meet this goal by the end of next month, then I'll be ready to set another goal
