I think there just mad they can't eat

I love that I found this sight but is it me or are some people here mean? I am noticing more and more that people answer posts with jugdmental and snippy attitudes. I didn't think that's what this site is all about. Are there other sites out there that are all about sleevers that others like better?

Here ya go,

I did it! Made my mini goal weight of 207 my most recent lowest weight - 2 years ago on Jenny Craig! I started JC in Feb. 2010 at 272. 10 months later Dec 2010, my lowest weigh-in was 207 lbs.I was working out (walking and videos) 5-6X week, plus I spent an average of $400/month on JC food! So excited to get back to where I should never have left-I worked so hard to get there only to plateau, stop going to get weighed (and I was getting sick of the food) and poof- weighed 278 this past summer. I'm working hard now, but it's different. Maybe it's the hunger factor, I just don't think of food the same way as I did before. I can't wait until next month...I've ordered my one way ticket to onederland!

Finally get up on Water skies and take family portraits! Lol

Contact your nutritionist and see if you can work out a meal plan that is healthy for you and for the baby. You've not gone past the point of no return and you can get this under control to your satisfaction. Best of luck to you, continue to reach out. From all I have seen on this forum, your friends will have your back and help motivate you.

Hey guys happy new year! Went out last night had like two shots of tequila did nothing for me. But had a blast and felt pretty! But didn't snack! Anyways I'm in the 80's today yay! And got into an old pair of gap jeans from when I was thinner size 14 skinny, they were right but who the heck cares! Wishing you All the best this year to come! Xo

Hey everyone! Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!! It's a new year and I am down 70 pounds as of this morning!! Finally entering into the 220's...Santa spoiled me with some shopping money and I literally couldn't believe what I could fit into!! I went from a 24-26W in pants...to a regular 18! without muffin topping! lol I can still wear some 1X shirts depending on the fit....but most of what I bought is XL and XXL in regular women's clothing and even Juniors! My favorite rings no longer fit becuz even my fingers have shrunk lol. I had to buy new bras most importantly...mine were getting slightly excessive, I went from a tight 44 D to a 38-40 D and I had to retire the plus size panties for some regular ones...no more saggy bottom! lol I'm so excited, I can't remember the last time I was able to wear clothes this "small." Love hearing everyone's good news!!! Keep up the good work everyone! My new year's resolution is to push myself to the gym and tighten up! What's yalls?

Happy new year and New You!!!!!

Researching info
You have done such a fantastic job!!! I love my Sleeve and know that I wouldn't be where I am today without it!!!
I tried on my first pair of size 12 jeans today and had no problem fitting into them!!! I admit, I look better in clothes than without them but I am so happy!!! I feel great for the first time in a very long time!
Happy New year and New You for 2013!!!!

Stepped on the scale today and have made the weight goal my doctor told me to reach by my next appt which is January 10th. That is an emotional relief. He was pleased at my two week f/u appt after surgery and had told me to lose another 30 lbs by the Jan appt. This gives me another ten days now to continue my progress. I started pre-surgery at 239 and lost 61 lbs today at 178. Surgery was 9/19/12. This is a nice ending for this year to reach the doctors goal.
Things that amaze me...losing 61lbs in 3.5 months when I couldn't lose but 5 lbs in six months before. I do receive compliments by people which is nice but I am so focused on this journey, sometimes I don't see the weight loss as readily because I've only dropped one pants size from an 18 to a 16. Guess it's just my body type.
The other thing is that as I lose weight, I'm still the same person inside. It's so strange to think that as I am dropping weight, it's freeing me to really focus on other personal goals such as searching for a better company to work for, family matters, making time to get together with friends not seen in awhile due to distance, and other personal goals. It's strange how this journey has motivated positive changes in other areas of our lives.
Good luck for everyone and may 2013 bring you continuous success and happiness.

My NSV yesterday - shopped in "regular" sizes at Dillard's. I kept thinking someone was going to point at me and tell me where Women's sizes were while laughing hysterically (lol). But no strange looks or anything. Bought 4 sweaters in XL and 2 pairs of jeans without a W after the size! The bottom 1/2 of my body doesn't seem to have lost quite as much size-wise as the top, but it still felt really good! Yes, I admit to doing a bit of a happy dance in the fitting room! (If anyone had seen that, they would have definitely pointed & laughed!).
I have noticed lots more hair in my brush the past several days. I've been taking Biotin since 3 weeks post-surgery, using Nioxin shampoo/conditioner, getting 60+ gr Protein - so I'm doing what I can/should. I have fairly thick hair so hopefully it won't be too noticable.
Like others, I do need to step-up the exercise - just can't seem to make myself do it.
I'm ALMOST 1/2 way to my goal of losing 130 pounds - only 6 more pounds to go. I had hoped to be there by 1/1/13, but I'm totally happy with the 59 pounds I've lost - and that I didn't gain any over the holidays
Glad everyone seems to be doing so well overall. There are some struggles, but hey, if it were easy, everyone would do it - LOL.
Keep up the good work Sept Sisters!
Happy 2013!!!!

Good for you!!!!! It's ok to fall . Sometimes even a good thing , then god builds our character

You look great! And it gives me hope because it looks like you got to keep the girls! Lol good job!
