  1. i will check back next month to see if the size 14 fit
  2. my upper body is shrinking away like crazy, my lower half is not really moving. now ppl come to me almost everyday saying how small i am getting (where?). the scale is not my friend right now. my work pants are super lose now, i tried on a top that i couldnt get around my body last month and today i got it on and button it up. whats going on man? i have these size 14 pants that i try on every week, i think they moved up a little more this week hummmmmmmmmmm, i am also doing turbo jam which is kick boxing along with the lower body jam which includes squats and lunges ( i know muscle weighs more but why is the upper body shrinking and the lower isnt. i read somewhere about substantious fat that it is the hardest to get rid of. i follow the rule no soda, lots of Water, protien first, dont drink and eat together, what gives please someone answer me i cant be the only one going through this. please i need fellow sleevers to talk to me dont just read and not talk to me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  3. it works google fat loss water. you do it for 10 days
  4. i am in the same boat. it took about a month to lose 2 lbs bounched between 223/220 not 219/221 its frustrating because ppl keep saying wow you are losing so much weight, and I think to myself what the heck because the scale is not showing at all.
  5. http://www.livestrong.com/article/247150-how-to-get-your-body-out-of-starvation-mode/ Very interesting
  6. what i love about the sleeve is it gives me control now. if i want something i will have it and be done with it. my little tummy can only handle so much. now soda i am not tempted it was never a big deal for me. but sweets yep thats the only bad part for me. if you drink soda and your dr said its ok not ppl from here maybe drink a more healthy soda like hansens with cane sugar, thats better than the white processed sugar anyday. just be smart. also they have th little cans as well have one of those if yoru dr said its ok.
  7. lipstick,she was quoting me not you
  8. sweet brown say a COLD POP lol. Everyone has differant surgeons and drs. I was told in my 3 month session way before surgery that it is a tool and not a miricle maker. I was also told soda will cause the sleeve to stretch over time. but they also said no alchol and i drink that on occasion smh lol. but they didnt say alchol will stretch your stomach just carbonation.
  9. this confused me, its a whole grapefruit. im still drinking it past the 10 days so refreshing for the hot water
  10. you make it. google fat loss water. its so simple 1 grapefruit, 1 tangerine, 1 cucumber and a couple of mint leaves in filtered water i use spring water and it helps me get my water in also and it taste so refreshing.

  12. green girl you looking amazing love the new pic. and thanks for waking the room up i stopped in the other day and it was so quiet no postings for days. again you look awesome. momof i know what you mean by that. i didnt change my ticker back, see i had go to 220 and the scale said im just kidding, lol. and went back to 222/223 so i just left the ticker. well this week the stall broke i now weight 219 yayyyyyyy im in the teens. i lost 3lbs this week yessssssssssssss. keep up the awesome job you are doing so good. teatime i found myself working out twice a day. where in the hell did all that energy come from lol. loving it. I am doing turbo jam which is awesome and her lower body jam. my knees hurt and my ankle but i cant baby my pains anylonger. 3lbs lost this week after not losing for a month. i think its that water, the fat flush water. ive been drinking it for almost 10 days now and it really works it give me energy also. if you havent tried it go to you to and look for fat flush water. its popular now. i love it makes my water taste yummy and refreshing.
  13. Your expenditure says that when you do nothing all day you burn 1900 calories, just doing nothing. On the days you do nothing, 1200 calories is fine. If you do deliberate exercise, whatever you burn, you need to eat. So if you burn an extra 300 at the gym, you need to eat 1500 calories that day. Why? Because you need to make sure your *net* calories are at 1200 everyday. 1200 - 300 (burnt at the gym) = 900 *net* calories, which will eventually cause your body to believe it's starving, so it's very important you eat back your calories burnt during deliberate exercise. a lot to explains me

  15. loving being a veggie. found a lot of good foods yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
  16. fiddleman. its stalled this time its been about a month. i went from 225 to 222 and now im bouncing around 222/223 grrrrrrrrrrrr. but everyone tells me im doing good and im looking good daily. i wore pants to work and everyone is like wow, judy you look awesome. they have never seen me in pants before. lol always in a skirt.
  17. mgs thank you for sharing with us, i am in the same boat, my body is weird my upper body is getting small while hips thighs and butt wont move, hummmmmmmmmm. I started drinking the fat burning water it seems to be working my work pants seem looser. have anyone heard about the water
  18. so frustrating. i recently started back working out. turbo jam. if adjusted calories up and down protien down because in the beginning i only took in 60 grams and the weight was coming off and i was told that what your body dont use its stored as fat. i am so frustrated, but everyone keeps telling me i am looking good. i guess its just me and the stupid scale, it is evil
