  1. I am asking this question because people keep asking me "what is your goal" I have no idea!!!! am 5 ft 8, started off at 245 pounds and now 50 pounds down, but what am i supposed to be heading for, have had people tell me you are a large black woman so you can't be less than 180 pounds but if i go according to BMI scales, my maximum weight should be 164 for a max BMI of 25, any ideas anyone? i carry a lot of weight around my middle and this is where it is not budging from yet.
  2. i don't really track my calories, i find it so time consuming, i think i get in 700-1000 cal/day but can't be sure, i am exactly 4 months out and down 50pounds, i have trouble eating and drinking period so i figure why bother keeping track of calories since i am sure i don't eat enough to gain in the first place. i exercise daily and plan to start paying more attention as i try to get rid of this last 25 pounds.
  3. enjoying this whole exercise thread, am still struggling with a lack of desire to engage in exercise but all these posts are very encouraging.
  4. I am 3 months out and down 41 pounds so far but i haven't lost any in almost 2 weeks!!!!! i am close to a mental breakdown if i don't start seeing a drop soon, someone please tell me this is temporary!!!!!!
  5. congratulations!!! am only 7 weeks out and 26# down, can not wait to get to your spot!!

  11. most likely a combination of gas, nausea and heartburn? it took me a good 6 days before i started to feel halfway normal, i tried to walk it off, ate ice chips and sugar free popsicles and eventually felt better, hope this helps.

  13. oh i understand, just hoping to avoid it.
  14. i was revised from band to sleeve a week ago, unfortunately they did not follow the old scars, there are new ones just above or below the old, but i really dont care, its the least of my worries.
