  1. I get tons of great used & new jeans eBay!! Seriously check it out, but go try on some jeans first so you know your size! Congrats to be in onederland!
  2. I want to be 198 by mon too! Hang in there, your doing great! Just remember where we came from. I'm a serious eBay addict now buying size 10-12 & loving that part but I have excess skin too in belly.....any tips? Lol
  3. Sleeved 7/31/12, sw 260, cw 205. Down 55 lbs--from size 18/20 to 10/12 but these long stalls r killing me! Want to b under 200 soo bad! I've been bouncing between 205-215 for few months. I do eat crap every now & again but i walk 4x a week for Hour & eat alot of protein. Surgeon wants me at 198 but I think I should b 175. I'm 5'9". What is normal anyway? I feel a size 10 is the lowest I've ever been or will ever b...like Oprah, I was a 10 for 15 min in 1990.....my belly feels loose nit tight looking though:(
  4. 7/31 sleeved, down 43 lbs--feels slow
  5. I agree! I was on a stall & did this too and what my body was holding on to in starvation mode, it let it go. I needed some sugar & fat. I find the more often I eat, the smaller the meals, the more I lose. Like a fire consistently being stoked--it burns longer.
  6. I lost 10lbs the first week & I'm down 27 lbs after 25 days. So I don't think you are losing too fast. It slows after a few weeks.
  7. I was told 3 months & you'll know b/c you are in alot of pain
