Congrats to all my fellow sleevers who participated in this challenge. We all are winners even if u lost just 1lb. I'm happy to see all the people who are still rocking those sleeves. It doesn't have to stop here today on Friday the 13th. Keep posting your updates every month on the 13th to keep the momentum going! Looking forward to seeing more updates from everyone who joined this challenge! My accomplishment is 33lbs lighter as of today. Current weight is 342lbs

congrats. welcome to onederland!!!

char60 don't fall apart over that small gain. i could come from a number of things like water weight, stress etc.... trust me alot of us have those small gains here and there. i would just keep to your regular routine and keep tracking your food and liquid intake. you also could be gaining muscle from your workouts.

ok. thanks again. i will do that!!

hello lissa. thanks. i put it here because i noticed that everyone just about visits this forum including visitors. no as many visit the other forum. i will post my info in that forum as well though. i hope this info will be helpful and visible from both forums!

THANKS ANDKEL30. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR PROGRESS!

2/17/09 was my sleeved date. Thanks!!! before an after

congrats and welcome to the losers bench! you will do great with your sleeve. the body pillow and recliner are what helped me sleep the 1st week after the surgery. after that i was able to sleep like i used to before the surgery(all over the place) :biggrin: .. this site has everything you need to know about your sleeve,what to eat and drink as well as any issues you may have. i started off at 619lbs and today i weighed in at 372lbs. i absolutely agree with not weighing yourself everyday. it will discourage you but trust me the weight will start dropping off fast with you really not noticing it. im still dealing with the mental part of being a new person. you will still see that same overweight person in the mirror but realistically you are not that person anymore. looking forward to following your journey. keep us updated! CONGRATS AGAIN LOSER!!! JUST FYI(LOSER MEANS YOU ARE A WEIGHT LOSER NOW!)LOL. NOTHING NEGATIVE... :Banane57:

CONGRATS!! WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR PROGRESS.. TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME! :Banane57:
