for-and-only-me

abby' date=' thank you and i am no inspiration i feel like i failed. green thank you for the support, but its hopeless for me right now. i am starting my complete cleanse tomoorrow we shall see if i start losing again[/quote']

New can you let me know the cleanse you are talking about starting. Inbox me please. It doesn't hurt for me to try something different.

i hate me right now i stopped losing at 6 months and have tried everything under the sun to lose. and nothing. i gave up at one tiime and we all knows what happens then old habits and old thoughts. i did the whole workout eating right to gain 8lbs and that 8lbs wont leave me. and no its not muscle' date=' clothes are tighter. im so frustrated right now. i havent even been to my appt. for what for the dr to rag on me about how i didnt lose enough. starting to day i am on a 6 day cleanse and see what happens. i stopped working out for months due to issues. i started back last night after work 30 min on the bike. i am the original poster and i have not posted in a while. i feel like i am the only one that failed at this. i apologize for being so negative buts thats how i am feeling right now[/quote']

New I feel your pain and frustration in this matter. I am in the same boat as you. One thing I will say is no you so not hate yourself!!!! I don't know the reason or cause but I have also gained and it's not muscle. I went down to 153 and as if this morning I am 164. I cancelled my appointment. I changed my exercise routine went back to basics but nothing so now I'm at a loss!!!

You started out at a low weight to begin with..i think u have done great! Maybe your body is more happy at 165 range? I wish i was closer to 170 myself but im happy at a size 12. Every is different but congrats on your year..i hit mine on the 5th. Maybe try upping your calories? I eat 1200 to 1400 and i dont lose but i dont gain. I go over that sometimes and i lose lol go figure. Its all in tricking your metabolism and under 1000 isnt healthy maybe your body is in starvation mode? Try 1100 cals and see how that works..eat every couple hours and its very easy to get that much in. It will all fall into place. :-)

I was doing the 1100 calories and working out but I gained and not just muscle. Even at 165 I am still overweight because I am only 4'11. My abdomen area is where the weight went back to. I am trying any and everything. High calorie low calorie. I can only eat every 3 hrs and it's small amounts.

Ok so this time last year I was in the pre-op area before going in for my life changing surgery. As you can see from my previous post I am not where I want to be but I would do it all over again I have no regrets and pray that I make to my goal!! Happy SLEEVE ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND all the other September 19th sleevers!!'

Hello all. It has been a long while for me on here. I have been reading and catching up and would like to say congrats to EVERYONE!! As for me not so good. I started at 212 and currently I'm 165. I was down to 153. Don't know what went wrong. I work out I gain I eat properly I gain. I cut down the exercising I increased and decreased my calorie intake. My highest was 1000. Yes this is my place to vent-. I have been doing this for the last 4-6 months. If anyone has ANY suggestions please reply in box what ever. Thanks in advance and again CONGRATS TO EVERYONE AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK'n

I am also pre-op my date is 9/19/2012. I am not nervous because I know all will be ok. I am more afraid of the obesity and it's complications if I don't have the sleeve done. I have prayed, and prayed some more and I am cool calm and collected and at peace with my decision. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the tip about the green tea. I am scheduled for Wednesday @ 545am. Not nervous but just decided ro join an online group forum.

New me, new you... blessings

I am new to the site also and I am scheduled for Wednesday to have mine done. Ok course I spoke ro my husband about it from the beginning. I have not been going around telling people. I did tell my mom and my sister just because I know I will need their support and they have been supportive since day one on this journey. You will run across someone that will try and talk you out of it but as for me, I prayed , prayed some more and I am comfortable with my decision and my soul is at peace and I am ready for my new journey to begin.

New me, new you... blessings
