Merry Christmas fellow December 2012 sleevers! This past year has been crazy! Sleeved 12/10/12. Highest weight 332 Pre-op surgery diet weight 315 Surgery weight 306 Today's weight 230 A total of 102lbs down Went from 3x, size 26/28 to size l/xl, size 16. Best decision ever! I have come so far but still have a ways to go. Ultimately my goal is 165, I'm 5'8". I honestly though haven't lost a pound since August. Hubby and I were expecting baby #2 but unfortunately lost it in September but since that positive test I haven't lost a damn pound. I should be happy that I haven't gained however its frustrating to not be losing no matter what I do. I recently saw the NUT again. I was very honest and told her everything that I eat. She thinks I'm getting too much fat in my diet. So I'm tracking and going back January 10 for a f/u. I'm sure I can get to goal. I just need to figure out what is going on. Merry Christmas to you all!

December 10 was my 1 year anniversary and I am down a total of 102lbs! I started this journey at 332lbs and today am 230lbs (5'8"). I was in 26/28, I assume 3XL tops. Today I am in size 16 jeans and large or xl tops depending on where I go. This has not been an easy journey and I have fought for every pound. I was pregnant in july and we lost it in september and I have not lost a pound since! I am working so hard to get it going again but it just hasnt happened yet. I know I am not done losing yet! Hoping to get to my goal by May of 165! If i could just get below 230 I think I could do it! Hope everyone has a great christmas!

thank you!!!

thanks proud grammy! i know i've been slacking on coming on here! and thanks for the kind words. it was rough and still is but we are getting through it. hope you have a great christmas! hey girlfriend remember me??? hope so so good to see you now, even though i'm seeing "less and less" of you 102 lbs gone - you are aces!!! I don't "think" this is always a smooth ride for others either (not me) but we stay strong - work hard - and you/me/all will succeed you have done so well, and i know you will continue to do so I can only imagine how difficult a time you went/still going through with your miscarriage - very sorry for your loss great pics cutie i know i will continue to see "less and less" of you in this wonderful new year try and visit more often happy holidays back at ya keep up the good job kathy congrats

thank you! i'm getting there! i can honestly say when i was pregnant i stopped working out bc i was nervous. then everything happened and then i started working out again mid to late october. i then threw my low back out in november and am in PT and seeing a chiro. i walk every day on my lunch for 25 minutes and then on fri, sat sun go to the gym and do cardio. however i just started doing cardio again this past week because i was on hiadus with my back. per chiro i started again. i did go see a NUT on the 6th of december. she seems perplexed about me because she could tell i was being honest about what i was eating which is following the plan. but she seems to think i am getting too many fat calories. so my goal for the next month is to track in mfp (which i am awful at) and then go back and see her january 10th. we are then going to review mfp log and see where she thinks i am going wrong. i'll be honest and say once a week i do have something i am not supposed too. but so far this week i have cut that out. hopefully getting back to the gym last week and tracking will get me going again. i do see my surgeon soon and will be talking with them about this as well

You look fantastic!

I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Las Vegas waiting for my hubs to get ready and I found these 2 pics. One is from an ugly sweater xmas party I had in 2011. I was probably around my heaviest of 332 give or take. The close ups are a year apart. Last October and today. Currently still 234. My goal is 165. I just can't believe where I am today. This has been a ride. I know it's not all about looks however I have to say I'm Rockin this sleeve. Sitting here crying. Just can't believe it. [ATTACH]19591[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19592[/ATTACH]

Thanks!

Thank you all so much for the kind words!

I'm 5'8". Started out at 332 and set my goal for 165. I'm currently 234.

You look great!

9 months postop and on 8/10 had a positive pregnancy test. At first I was freaked out, then as the days went on we became more and more excited. I was worried about weight gain bc i wasn't at goal yet. But I decided to just follow the plan and worry about the weight after baby comes. Fast forward to this past Thursday, I started spotting. I called the on call OB and since I already had my 1st appointment scheduled for the next day, 9/20, he said there was no reason to come in early or go to the er unless I was in pain or bleeding a lot. Upon doing the transvaginal ultrasound we learned that our jellybean stopped growing at 6w5d, Friday I was 9w5d. My world just feel down on top of me. I scheduled a d&c for the next day. The 1st 2 days after I think in was in shock. Yesterday and today I'm so emotional and all I wanna do is eat. I haven't eaten for emotional reasons in almost a year. Has anyone been here? Any words or advice? Today has been especially bad bc I'm home alone. I took yesterday and today off of work. Yesterday I took my 3 yr to the zoo and we had a blast. Today she went to daycare. We had a m/c before our daughter and now one after her. I'm beside myself.

I did but it wouldn't let me remove the wrong pic. And i couldn't add a new one to that post. I'm on my phone. That could be why.

Dammit. Wong pic. Wish yiu could delete on here! [ATTACH]19087[/ATTACH]
