    I'm Afraid of my Scale

    Agreed. My husband took the battery out of our scale. He puts it back in on Saturdays so I can weigh myself. It's too easy to become obsessive!

    Good aerobic shoes

    Hey all! Looking for some advice on a good workout shoe. Since i started exercising regularly I have noticed I seriously walk on the outside of my feet causing the fabric on the shoes to pull down on the sides. Any thoughts?

    Really People

    My sister in law is the same way. As soon as she knew I was having this done she immediately started dieting and exercising a whole bunch. She is also overweight but I have always been bigger. Now that I am alot smaller she makes comments about she's losing weight naturally and how I'm looking so "skinny". Come on!! I still weigh over 200lbs! So you know what I do? I say thanks! I'm feeling pretty skinny lately and move on to the next subject. Brush your shoulder off and keep moving forward! We are healthier of mind body and soul. And our opinion of ourself is the only one that should matter

    Jillian michaels 30 day shred

    Has anyone tried this out. I have faithfully been doing the elliptical 4-5 times a week and Zumba or just dance 3 1-2 times a week. One of the nurses at work told me try this out. I am on day two and holy crap!!!! I thought I had built up some endurance and strength but after doing this I quickly realized I didn't!!

    Jillian michaels 30 day shred

    Hahahaha my sister said the same thing. She talks to much!! Her husband did it with us too. They are both officers in the army and said alot of the exercises are military workout exercises. They both really liked the workout though. We just muted the tv!!

    Jillian michaels 30 day shred

    I feel like its by far the most challenging workout I have ever done. It's 20 min of circuit. I want to keep it up!! I have not worked my body out like this since high school!! Aka 14 years ago lol geez...I am really curious about the kind of results I will get. If you truly can "lose" 20lbs in 30 days what kind of affects will we have?

    A question of image for the post ops

    I still see the fat girl even though I have lost 63lbs. The other nurses at work tell me how thin I look but I really have a hard time seeing it. Maybe my head will catch up one day. Lol highest weight 278. Dos 271 cw 208
  13. Hw 278, dos 271, cw 215. I so far have had no issues. Down 56 lbs. stalled occasionally but generally come out of it in a week or two. Exercising since 4 weeks post op. elliptical, just dance 3&4, and Zumba 5-6 days a week for an hour. Only regret is that I wish i would have done this years ago. I know 56lbs is a huge amount of weight but I'm still waiting for my head to see it. Sometimes I look in the mirror and still see the 271lb me and think geez. Other days its like wow...what a difference. I'm ready for the next 15lbs to get off my body. Reaching a weight that beings with 1 is something I have not had since high school. This will be a huge sense of accomplishment.
  14. Just a quick check-in!! Everything is going so good!! I feel amazing and I am beginning to really see the difference in my face and body. For the first time in forever I'm looking forward to summer. Shorts and tanks from somewhere other than lane bryant. And a fancy new bathing suit!! All my nursing scrubs are huge! Love it! I'm creeping closer to onederland and when that day comes I'm treating myself to something fabulous. Highest weight: 278 DOS 10/4: 271 CW: 215

    October sleevers

    I was sleeved 10/4. Down 41lbs. Have hit my first major stall. Not lost anything in 10 days. Kinda frustrating. I work out faithfully 5-6 days a week, get in all my protein and water, calories 800-1000. I know everyone will say it will pass but it still makes ya feel like your doing something wrong. Hopefully this hump will pass soon.

    I confess I hit my first big stall and totally feel depressed by it. I confess I look at my face alot in the mirror and try to see the difference. I confess I want to look better than my sister-in-law who is super competitive with me I confess I have totally huffed a bag of fresh McDonalds fries but did not eat any I confess my head hunger is worse than I thought it was going to be
