Just keep believing and putting one foot in front of the other! Its possible! Good Luck everyone!!

Girl I understand where you are coming from! I too have very concerned about people...and decided to only tell my close family and the man that I was dating of course! And still there are people that dont have a clue that I had anything done! To me if people around you arent supportive then you DO NOT NEED them in your life! People pass judgement no matter what we do..Thin fat tall short...People can be just plain mean! Do it for yourself and health! You are coming upon a beautiful journey and a brand new life! Dont worry what others think...Think positive! best of luck!

Funny that you write this today! My gf and I (she has lost 117) were talking about this yesterday and how we still see our old selves. On occasion I will catch a glimpse of myself in a window or mirror and almost have to do a second look to see if that is really me! Im not sure if your brain every catches up with your weight?!

This sounds so crazy! But I am addicted to crossing my legs! I can not sit in a chair without sitting this way...I have heard before that its not the best pratice! If so, Why am I so comfortable with it?

Like the others have said...Just hang in there! It takes a few times before things get to the "green zone"..For me I always fall back outta green at right about 6 weeks and my tummy said Feed me Please! Its worth everything you have done to this point and will be worth every struggle you face going forward! think Positive! Good Luck!

I deal with the jiggle! haha! At first I was pretty embarassed by my tummy and my rear but now...Who cares! Im off the couch, outside and doing more than most people that want to have something terrible to say about me! I have come along way as have you! GO US! I did buy a pair of tight running shorts and they are so comfortable that I want to wear them everyday! Ill be doing W2D2 today! keep yall updated on things!

I wished there was a LOVE button for this!! :wub:

NO way could I give up coffee! I have been drinking regular coffee since a few weeks post op and use FF French vanilla coffee most of the time. If am I visist a location or at the office and we run out I will use regular cream with no sugar. You might try the liquid SF sweetners int he coffee section I can not recall the name of them and not sure what they use to sweeten it however. Coffee has not hindered my weight loss at all however I will tell you that I am drinking at least 70 ounces of Water a day. Like others have said its about balance and moderation! Good Luck!

Good Morning Crystal... Its called Couch to 5k and yes its available on android Im using it on my HTC Evo. I finished Week1 day3 yesterday and surprisely I didnt feel like I was about to die! haha! I just may turn into a runner yet! Good luck and let me know how you like it!

Cmarie, Your body will for sure let you know when you aren't eating right! Or at least mine does! and WATER! Lets not forget that!! Its a must!

YAY! Congrats!! Its a very exciting time for sure! Best of Luck!

Believe me if anyone ever told me that I would ever give a split second thought to running I would have called them a liar....! Its pretty amazing what you can do you sent your mind to it! When I get passed the joggin for 1 min and feeling like Im gonna die I will let you know!
