Carrie's Journey

It looks like it's been 2.2 lbs per week (15 weeks). Does that seem normal?

Just curious how much weight you lost each month. By low BMI, I mean about 60 or so pounds to lose total. I'm a super slow loser and I want to get to goal! About 20 more to go, and it'll probably take me 4 more months at my turtle pace. Month 1: 16 lbs, month 2: 5 lbs, month 3: 8 lbs...

I agree with a lot of the comments. Just wanted to say how unbelievably crazy it is to hear people call me skinny and to tell me I'm disappearing. I have NEVER been skinny so this whole thing is just crazy! Started at size 16/18 and am 10/12 now.

Love cappuccino with a little instant coffee and almond milk...my go-to breakfast.

How much do you have to lose total?

Oh good!! Thank you!

Made my goal of skinny jeans and tall boots that actually zip up over my calves!! They're tight but still...

Skinny jeans and tall boots! Just bought my boots...now I need the jeans.

When you get a chance, email me your address (carriebennett227@gmail.com). I can ship it tomorrow...

Sounds good!

Your shipping address is VA?

Do you wear dresses? I know it's winter, but I also have some cute maxi dresses-2 long and a knee length one. I'd add them for free if you're interested. Let me know your Paypal email address and I'll invoice you for $40...I'll ship them tomorrow.

Every morning I have a shake with Nectar Cappuccino protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup water, a dash of instant coffee and some ice. I swear I'm drinking something from Starbucks and I get a decent amount of fluid in and a ton of protein...and a little caffeine.

I have some pants and jeans in 14 and 16 I'd love to give someone! Most jeans are Calvin Klein, some pants are Ann Taylor Loft. I'm asking for $40 to cover shipping and to hopefully be able to get myself a new pair of jeans! Everything is in great condition.

Yep...I take 2 of those a day.

I've been having a lot of those moments lately...and we have so much junk food for the kids so it's hard to avoid. I love my sleeve but hate that I can still eat a lot of junk if I want to. It's still about making choices.

My first stall lasted 2 wks. Then I started losing again for 2 wks then another 2 wk stall! I don't have much to lose, but it was still very upsetting. I stopped weighing myself every day and that really helped. My dr also advised me to increase my protein. My TOM really affects the loss, I've realized so I'm trying to prepare myself for another short stall.

I had a low bmi too, with high blood pressure. I haven't told many people other than family and close friends but I imagine some comments might be negative...if I told coworkers, for example. Many would say I wasn't big enough to have surgery but I've struggled just like you. It's our lives...not theirs. Dr. Cirangle did my surgery in CA. He believes this will prevent me from getting to that high bmi that's almost inevitable.
