Weightbgone

I have considering having a child , But I am terrified of gaining my weight back and not being able to lose it!!!!

I am going to TJ and I am having Breast lift w/implants and Lipo $4500

Can soda really stretch you sleeve??? I dont drink it alot but I do drink it sometimes! I am a year out and I do find myself being able to eat more I was think maybe its because of the soda....

coops it feels grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sleeved March 15th 2011... I lost 85lbs so far.... Tips-I would say working out- cardio and keeping that apart of your weightloss regimen never giving up on your sleeve and never get disappointed when you put on a couple pounds because they can always come back off if you rock your sleeve....

I am sooooooo happy I am finally at or shall i say below my goal weight!!!!!!!!! All thanks to the sleeve!!!!!!!!!!! :bigear:

I had mines Done in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Almanza! I only Paid $4500 and that included everything except the flight and the hotel night the day I arrived into San Diego! Everything else was included in the price!! I love the sleeved!!!

You look Great!!!!!! COngrats!!!!!!

Today I found out my BMI is 29.9 I am soooo happy to be just over weight!!! Its a Great feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say go for 130 that is where you said you felt the best but it was hard for you to keep the weight off.... But now u have the sleeve to help u maintain that goal vs before...

Congrats I can remember when I hit wonderland lol it was a beautiful day!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

You look Great Girlie!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!

I know the feeling but just like all the others stated YES u will LOSE the WEIGHT!!! It might not come off as fast as you want but u will LOSE!!! I am 4 months out and down 49 lbs which I am happy with!! can't wait until I hit the 170 lbs!!! This is something I use to dream about now its a reality!! I am soooooooo happy with my choice and the money I have spent it was the best 5 grand I ever spent!!!!!!! lol

I was feeling the same way! When you read on here and hear about everyone losing so much so fast u feel like there is something wrong with u! But its not as long as you are losing!! I am losing slow but i am happy because I am LOSING!!! Everypound I am down I am happy with! I had to stop comparing myself to everyone else!

Decamom that sure is award in its self!!! I am happy for u!!!

I am in the 180's too and I can't wait to get out! Been here for 3 weeks already. I haven't got a reward out there for myself like your designer jeans...I will have to think on that! Since I got divorced and then married a wonderful man, had my sleeve and am enjoying my life...I can't think of something I lack.... Now that's a reward in itself!

Living the dream,

Laura

You are also doing great!!! I am happy for u!!!! We are on our way to skinny land lol!!

weightbgone you are doing awesome keep up the good work.

That is great!!! U are doing wonderful!! Yes get the jeans! I cannot wait til I get mines! lol

Hey Weightbegone, I am SO happy for you. I see by your weight loss ticker that you have lost 46 pounds! that is Great!!! I have lost 45 pounds, but am still in the 200's. I am SO looking forward to being under 200 lbs! I tried to think of the last time I was under 200, and it was like 35 years ago, when I was pregnant with my youngest son. (He has never seen me under 200 lbs!) I can hardly wait to enter "ONE-derland"!!! And I think your idea of a pair of designer jeans sounds wonderful. About five years ago I bought some really neat jeans that FIT me. I have this problem, I have no butt. Am fat everywhere else, but no butt. So jeans bagged on me and my kids always laughed and called me the "saggy, baggy elephant"! I found a place that said they could fit anyone in a pair of jeans. So I went, and bought two pair (THAT FIT!), to the tune of $96 per pair. And, I loved them. They fit. Then I went on vacation and gained a bunch of weight, and poof, no more well fitting jeans! So I think I too will purchase a pair of designer jeans once I get into "ONE-derland" as a treat to myself. (I gave away the "well fitting" jeans last summer in a clean out my closet fit.)

Keep up the good work! Your're doing great!

CONGRATS!!! KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL WORK!! IF I MAY ASK, HOW TALL ARE U?

Thanks everyone! I am sooooooooooo happy!

I am sooo happy to be in the 180's I can't wait til I hit the 170's after that I am treating myself to some designer jeans!! I tired the jeans on in the 190's and they fit but I want a smaller size!!!!! I love this sleeve!

You look Great!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Yes u do look Great! Keep it up skinny minnie!

Thanks Coops! I am trying to stay positive but I am use to everytime I get on the scale it is down 1 or 2 pounds! And for the last couple times I am at a standstill and I do not weigh myself everyday maybe once a week! I am kind of sad I have to admit! I know it will get better!

Hey...

don't worry; stalling is part and parcel of the process... I think I am the Queen of Stalls....lol... and since the New Tear, I am a very slow loser... but it is coming off and I am not gaining!

How far out are you? Have you taken measurements? In the last 6mths I have only lost about 14lb - and there was a huge stall of 5-6 weeks in that - but I have gone down a dress size and a little...

try not to be discouraged or put pressure on yourself. I did that and I ended up in a real dark place.

I notice that you have lost over half your goal now, so congratulate yourself on that... also, try putting on some of your pre sleeve clothes... watch them fall to the ground and smile, smuggly, to yourself. It works for me every time stall! =]

Is there anybody that went thru this but came out successful? I just need words of encouragment!

I paid $4500 Dr. Almanza Tijuana Mexico! Ilove my doc and the experience!
