Screw normal! I tried it once. It got boring so I went back to being me. Strange. Quirky. And FUN!!

Me me me!! Sadly it never goes down. :-/

I'll be thinking about you Monday! I had to skip a few parties too. It was just too hard. But after? Bring it on. My sleeve is my strength! You are almost there!!! So excited for you.

I can't believe you people. I go to sleep & y'all lose your minds. Shame shame. The end.

I must also mention my hair loss How hard it is to drink Water And someone has to complain about how quickly they got to 5 pounds over goal without exercising & can't figure out how to lose those last pesky 5 pounds Oh & someone has to repost several recipes that have been posted 1000 times on other threads.

Someone has to mention loose skin Stretching a sleeve How bad Protein shakes taste And how awesome sex is now. Now the thread is complete. Good day.

How are you doing, Shakur? Just wanted to check in on you!

Y'all know my daughter cried when I told someone about my surgery. Couldn't figure out why. Finally she said, WHY are there gremlins in your stomach??!? Lol. She heard me mention the Grehlin. So now I call it the gremlins.

This is why I live you guys. Completely irreverent senses of humor & zero sticks up your bums!

Lol. Nope. All me. Maybe we should start a support group for thread killers.

Roflmao. Well. We just can't have that. It must stop with me. Starting now!

Congrats!!! I wanna see before & current progress pics. Show off for me!

I am the greatest thread killer. I comment on a thread & all activities stop. No one comments after i say anything. No one loves me. Making sad face. :-( I think I shall become a lurker. Bwahahahaha.

I just want to let everyone know, if you follow this advice, it works!! I'm already down 5 pounds in 3 days since starting this. And I am at TOM. Thanks again for posting this! I'll let y'all know how this goes long term for me.

Yes. I was sleeved 5-18-12 by Dr. Weiss. I am down 141 pounds! Just broke into onederland myself! Would love to get together with y'all.

Holy snotcicles, batman!! Woo to the hoo!

When I started I could hardly walk long distances, & couldn't do 2 minutes on the elliptical. i was the biggest woman at the gym. I didn't know HOW to exercise. I started slow with swimming & Water aerobics. I have 2 disks bulged in my back. Slowly I started adding in an extra 5 minutes at a time to my cardio. Then added in a 30 minute Zumba or kickboxing class. Then I started hitting the weights. Low weight. 10-15 reps. 3 sets. (I don't want to look like a body builder, just sculpt.) Now I can do an hour on the elliptical. an hour at Zumba. Sometimes i do both back to back. One particularly insane day I did 1 1/2 hours on the elliptical. O_o I am working on week 4 of couch to 5k. I'm slow. Running sucks. But somehow I like it in a twisted kind of way. I started my journey at 338. I'm now at 197. From a size 30 jeans to a 12. Getting skinny is awesome! But knowing that I'm healthy, that I might have a chance to survive if I was chased by a tiger.......ok. I might survive a three legged turtle attack. Lol. But you CAN do this! And I'm happy to help any way that I can. Kristie

I am so glad to see that you have gotten better thru sheer strength & determination. Are you in Lexington ky? That's where I am.

I can't thank you enough for posting this. I've been struggling with Water retention issues for months now. It's been driving me crazy! And I've even done the gain with calorie reduction thing! I'm so relieved to know what this is & how to fix it!

They make body suits that allow you to wear your own bra & will wrap around the arms & hold the batwings in. I know slimpressions makes some. It's a girdle for your batwings. Best of luck sweets! You are doing really well!

I wanna get vanilla wasted!
