It was this day last year I had a breakdown. I thought I made the wrong decision and was afraid three days post surgery. That was the last time I thought that. I think I am doing okay. I know I feel better. I can move and bend down and get back up. I love the way clothes fit. I hope to continue doing well and eventually meet my goal. I am getting there, hopefully the pace is okay, but I wish I had lost 100 by now. But the biggest change is I have fallen in love. I have finally met my Prince Charming and I appreciate his support through my journey.

3rd day out I had an emotional episode as well. 9 days I just wanted to eat. I think the important part is to understand why and/or what you're doing and how you can fix it. For example I realized coming home and stuffing my face as I watched tv on my couch was how I relaxed. Now I just watch tv to relax or fix myself I good protein drink. Time helps to figure yourself out. Good luck

Finally a loss. 213 today, 5 more pounds to go

The wonton wrappers are made from soy.

I went again today. My free 7 day pass is up, but I talked to the owner and I got a super deal for rest of summer. It is just so much fun and something I am able to actually do. I seem to be at a stall and am still shooting to lose 8 pounds by July 4! Ahhh wish me luck!

June 25, still 216. My goal is 8 more pounds. I worked out 5 days last week and will do the same this week. Question-how does upping Protein help you lose weight?

I had my surgery with Dr. Hanna in Las Vegas. I didn't stay overnight.

Thanks Lissa. I keep thinking I should add some exercises during tv time like you do!

I have a new boyfriend! I hadn't planned on dating, but decided to work on myself and focus on my weight loss instead, then bam I meet this amazing man. I avoided eating our first few dates. Then I told him of my surgery a few weeks into dating. He said he knew it was odd I wouldn't eat in front of him. Now he has been very supportive. He knows I need to stop drinking half hour before and must wait an hour after, he knows I must eat slowly, and that I get in pain if I eat too much. Hopefully, everything continues to go well.

Thanks friends. I went again today!

So not as good this week. I was on vacation though. I have worked out the past 3 days so I want to keep that up. June 19 - 216 Weight lost since starting challenge-7 Goal-208 (8 pounds to go)

I actually did jazzercise today! It was a ton of fun. I have a free 7 day pass so I plan on going back tomorrow.

You look stunning, keep it up!

Hey Calikat, honestly they were not very helpful. I mentioned my sleeve and the IUD I had inserted yesterday. They just gave me tylenol and sent me home. The tylenol worked right away because then I was getting so hot. I have been resting but my tempature keeps flunctuating. Thanks for your concern.

So here I am shivering in e.r. I laid in bed and shivered for hours. I didn't know what to do finally drove myself to er at 2:30 a.m. Labs r fine they were about to discharge me when my fever spiked to 102.

I just got an hour glass timer. A little cheap one from a game. I think it is a minute, after I swallow I time myself.

Hola, my period came as soon as surgery was over. It was a week early, so with surgery pain I had cramps. Today I just got an IUD placed. Hopefully, no more periods!

I can't believe it. Today's naked morning weigh-in was 217.4. So: June 1-223 June 7-217 Weight lost-6 July 4th goal-208 (9 pounds to go)

I'm in, my first challenge as well. My surgeon said I should lose 15 pounds a month so that's my goal. Highest weight-271 Pre-surgery-254 Yesterday ( June 1) - 223 July 4th goal-208

Thanks for sharing your story. Take care and congrats!

Yeah, thanks everyone, you are all so encouraging!

I am going to the Bahamas soon and I bought a pair off pants about a month ago that I couldn't even button. I stalled for about 2 weeks, I finally lost another pound and tried on my pants. Woohoo, they buttoned, definately still tight but I still can't believe it!

Taco cupcakes are taco fixings in an individualized soy wrapper. Place the soy wrapper in a cupcake pan followed by taco ingredients. The full recipe is on Emily Bites.

We all have bad days and make bad decisions, that's okay, forgive yourself and move on. Make one goal for yourself the next week or so, for example get in liquids or eat more protein, whatever you need. When that's under control add another goal, after you meet the second goal add another and so on. Start small and be proud of yourself one step at a time. Also sit your family down and talk to them. I confronted my sister last weekend, I think she was surprised to hear she wasn't supporting me like I need. Tell them what you need, be firm. Good luck.

Beautiful!
