You look great, love the blond hair too!

My husband bought me a beautiful infinity platinum necklace when we started dating, it was always kind of small because of my size , I wore it anyways but it looked like a choker, now it actually looks like a necklace :-)

Sorry my user name is Silbc

Great I need fitness pal friends, :/)

I think I've become one of those people I used to roll my eyes at! I've totally become carb phobic, I judge the menu by how many healthy things are on it, I'm always looking to "split" something with someone lol! I workout 6x a week. Instead of diabetic meds at my desk I have vitamins. I get excited when I hear about a new low carb, high protien, all natural snack bar!! What happened to me!!! LOL! I used to want to slap people like me and shove a donut down thier throat :-). There is a coworker that just did the Boston Marathon and is a big health nut, before she would talk to me and I've give her a blank stare Abd think the was totally crazy for running so much and depriving herself of sweets etc, now we're besties and share nutrional finds/tips. Anyone else become a crazy health freak?

My hubby loves the new flexible me

Coffee is the only thing I do that was not by my nuts guidelines, I quit for about two months but I Had to go back, I used to fill a 20 oz thermos every morning now I just do 8 oz and the way I sip at it last the same amount of time. I use skim milk and Splenda. Very few calories, I don't feel guilty at all, I still eat less than 1000 calories a day. I wouldn't be sane without my coffee !!! Lol

Good goals, I want to rock a pair of true religion jeans. Go zip lining , long term goal is participate in a triathlon

Don't feel bad about the stall your doing better than me, I had surgery 5/3 and have lost 45 lbs. i lost 20 lbs before surgery , I have not had any stalls really, just losing slowly but steadily. I know I'm doing all the right things , low carb, low calorie , exercise about 5x a week, I guess I'm just made that way, but as long as that scale keeps going down I'm happy and I try real hard nor to compare myself to others, for example someone that was sleeved after me and has lost more weight than me lol!!!

Mine was my daughter , I had my 2 nd child when I was 38, I'm 39 now , and I want to be there for her, I want to be able to be active for her and my son . I am nearing 40 and I had this great need that I wanted to make a major change in my life, I want to be the grandma that zip lines :-) not wheelchair bound because of her weight .

I've wondered the same thing, my nut never set a calorie goal just a protien goal , make the food choices etc etc. I'm always under 1000 calories, and according to myfitnesspal that's too few. I also exercise about 6 x a week. I've never had a 2-3 week stall but my weight loss has been slow. Some people say the starvation theory is a myth ... ??? Idk but im ok if I keep moving, though slowly, towards my goal.

I'm getting bored with my snack choices so I was wanting to get inspired!! So tell me what is your favorite post op snack??

I agree, I always stall during that week then after I'm down about 4 lbs and I exhale !! Lol

That's great!! U look awesome !

I'm 5'2 and 39 yrs old. My staring weight was 290, my goal is 130-140 or about a size 8. I'm puerto rican and pretty curvy which I want to keep ( so does my husband!) so I dont want to get too skinny. Mainly I just want to be healthy :-) ohh and my mantra is to be fabulous at 40!!!

I used dr. Todd Wilson ut physicians. He was great, the office did everything for me, it was all very smooth

That's awesome, I'm so happy for u!

I agree, it was probably the bread, I also do sandwich roll up, no bread, I also stuff avocado in the middle,

I'm pear, was pear to begin with too , I'm just a smaller pear :-)

May 3 for me, I was 270 at surgery and 228 now!! I had lost 20 pre op so that's 62 total!! I just recently started buying new clothes :-), I've also become a workout junkie!!! I've amazingly lost my sweet tooth, but still struggle with my protien intake. We ROCK !!!

I started exercising at 6 weeks, mostly cardio first because I enjoy that more, but I have been doing more and more strength training for same reasons u mentioned. I usually go the gym but yesterday I got my set of resistance bands in the mail !! So excited also got a copy of those insanity DVD!! I know I'm crazy, I never thought I would do any of those much less enjoy it.

No issues here!! Had surgery 5/3/12. Down 60 lbs, my biggest complaint is the metal taste in my mouth which I just learned via this chat site that is normal due to ketosis :-).

That's awesome!! I wanna go out and just sit at booths just to prove I can!! Lol

That was sooo awesome !! I need to start taking progress pics!! I'm kind of camera shy

I have a couple most have not changed but I have one on my thigh that is looking smaller, I was thinner when I got it and it stretched out some do now I think it's going back to normal lol!
