It just seems a little pricey & I can't afford to blow money on something if it's no better than the protein shakes I but for $10 at Walmart. That sounds like a good idea with that soup! I may try that :-)

Has anybody tried Body by vi shakes? If so, what was your experience with them? Are they worth the money? And do they help with the liquid phase? I'm thinking about ordering them but I don't want to be scammed. I am stuck at 182 pounds and I'm afraid I'm going to gain since it's getting colder outside. Thanks!!

183 this morning!! Beat my goal by 2 pounds!!

184 this morning! Down 7 pounds!!

I love zumba and have been going once a week, but this last week it hurt my knee. I am going to have to take it easier on the jumps and squats we do. I wish I could go to zumba 7 days a week because I would go! Does anybody do the DVDs at home? If so is it a good workout? I want to sweat like I do in the gym!

That is awesome ladies!!! I am addicted to it too and wish I could go more!! Right now I go on Thursdays and my instructor has us use free weights. I love it, it is the only exercise I actually enjoy and I have already noticed a slight difference in my body

Check in today- 184! 7 lbs down!! Woot woot

I can totally relate to that! I went out to eat awhile back and had to ask for a table because I couldn't fit in the booth. It was so embarrassing! All of the other customers just stared at me and I heard some laugh. I wanted to crawl under that table & disappear! I still have some issues with booths, I'm always afraid I won't fit even though I do now. That is an awesome NSV!!

I love your outfit!! You look great!! I want to try that look but I'm not brave enough yet. I think I need to lose about 10 more pounds or so before I'll feel comfortable. Way to go chick!! :-)

That's awesome!!! I'm going to go walk around the fitness center here when I get off work and enjoy the weather before it gets too cold. After that my friend is meeting me there when she gets off and we are going to Zumba class. I am looking forward to it

Checking in, 188 lbs this morning!

Awesome job!!!! You and I have about the same stats and I just now discovered that I love being physically active & exercising! It was a major stress reliever & i look forward to going back! When you added exercise did it increase your weight loss?

I'm barely in the 100's but it is a good feeling, almost a relief! I have to keep reminding myself of how far I've come & not how much longer i have to go because I get frustrated! But I'm going to just keep swimming lol

I have only been to one class but I can't wait to go back!! I am addicted to it already!! :-)

Thanks ladies! This really helps me stay on track and keeps my head on straight! I am exercising everyday , at least doing something! So hopefully that will help me as well

That is AMAZING!!! You are such an inspiration!! How fast did your weight come off in the beginning? I am losing but some days I get discouraged and just want to cry. It's almost like I feel like i will be stuck at 190 for ever. But seeing before and after pictures like yours really helps motivate me and gives me hope and encouragement! :-) maybe one day i will be able to post some good before/after photos!

I did it for the first time last night and it was awesome! The hour flew by and I felt great afterward! I am going to go every Thursday from now on and I hope that I can go to more classes and that I will tone up and lose inches!

I was wondering if anybody does Zumba! ? If so, how have your results been?

I just started exercising again and today I did a 1 hour Zumba class for the first time! I must say it was an amazing workout and so fun! I was covered in sweat! It didn't seem like an hour! I am going to start going to Zumba every Thursday & walking & doing the 30 day shred. Exercise is also important for my weight loss as well! Without it I don't see as much results. Good luck to you =)

I am 189 pounds now & I am on the liquid diet. It is so hard to stick to but I know i can do it! good luck to you too

I also bought the eas soy protein at Walmart for 10 bucks, and it tastes pretty good. Everybody has said the sugar content is high but it has 17 grams per scoop. I am on the two weeks of protein shakes & liquid... How much weigh could I possibly lose in this phase if I exercise? It won't make me gain weight will it?

that sounds awesome!!

How were your results after following the post op diet? I'm going to follow it to the letter so I can have good results. I just worry that it is not enough food but my dr knows best I guess lol. Hopefully I can keep my willpower up thru the holidays
