stinker got a reaction from Sadlers1999 in All of my December sleevers...
I am at 175.8, and I don't really have a firm goal weight (my doctor did not specify one either), my size 14 clothes are starting to be too loose and I can feel that I am about to gear down to a size 12. I would like to hit 150 next a re-evaluate, and after a long stall, I have lost a pound and a half this week. Now I am at the beach and having cucumbers, tomatoes, grouper, and bananas for lunch YUM! I find that I am not stressed at all about numbers, just happy to be slowly heading in the right direction. I am not exercising as I should, and that is my next goal now that we are back in a routine as a family - starting back on walking and yoga this week
Everyone has had such success! So inspiring to read your stories and your challenges, too...

Wow I love the quick replies from you all .. Well I guess since all of us are over 6/7 months out its just a one day at a time thing for us.. Don't allow yourself to loose focus because someone is doing better then you or almost at goal and so on and so forth.. Because. We are all different heights we all started out at different weights and we all have different goals we want to personally reach we all also had different ways of dealing with our weight loss some work out 5-7 days a week when others well only 3 we will not all have the same results in the same time frame because we all eat and workout differently my point is keep reaching for you not for the person ahead of you or behind you.. THIS IS YOUR JOURNEY!!! This is your last chance at a healthier better life. This is what you wanted as an individual so go out and get it.. I love all of you guys and I want to see each and everyone of you reach goal or get as close as the weight loss Gods will allow you to. Good luck everyone.. I'm in your corner even when your not in your own corner.. Good luck and keep up the good work everyone!

I think at some point everyone needs to "re group." For some people, it hasn't happened,yet, but it might happen when they get to the weight that they want to maintain. For a lot of us, falling off the wagon is nothing new...and getting back on is nothing new, either. We just have to "just keep swimming."

Hey Y'all, I was sleeved on 12-17 and I am doing great. Recently I have had people comment that I look thin... WHAAATTT... Now I have been described as many things "THIN" is not one of them. I am happy yet frustrated because I am now able to buy clothes in the regular area of stores no more Plus sizes I am fitting in a MED/LARGE shirt and Large pants. I have spoken to my doctors and no longer see my slow progress as a bad thing. I have gotten to the point where I am content where I am at and if I were never to loose one more ounce of weight I would be okay with it. I feel much healthier and love the fact that I can keep up with my children (age ranging from 4yrs-11months). I know I will still loose more but I am just so excited to be where I am. I hope everyone is doing well!

5 months today - 58 lbs lost. Only 16 more to go! Like others, I bounce up and down a pound or two - for a week or two at a time, then lose 1 or 2 lbs. And then bounce around again. I just keep doing the program, exercising, drinking my Water. I'm sure I will reach goal, but it may take a little time.

I have become obsessed with Silk Soy vanilla Milk with one scoop of Chia seeds in my shaker cup! It is a nice Protein boost (from the Silk, sometimes I add unflavored protein powder), and you can crunch on the little Chia seeds in the milk. Chia has REALLY helped with Constipation, and it is high in Fiber and healthy oils. So that's one snack I have in the evenings.
Nuts are a great grab and go snack - I am not worrying too much about fat/oil, because I eat so little, and I focus on getting in healthy foods first. Also, 1/2 banana is a good grab and go, and very filling.
Good luck!

Have my 3 month visit with the surgeon today.
Start of process 214
Day of surgery 209
Today - 164 - 50 lbs!!!
I've had stalls - but I find that if I have 11 8oz glasses of Water plus the other liquids I get in (herbal tea, M-F I have SF Carnation Essentials for breakfast) & exercise at least 5 days a week, then I don't stall. I can do that - for the rest of my life!! :-)
