I just looked up some info on toxins after reading your post. Thanks for the info that you share!!

That's awesome! Keep up the great work. Yeah, it's hard to see it in ourselves sometimes, that's why I truly appreciate when others notice also!

I've been weighing myself literally everyday (just in a.m.) b/c I've been afraid that I'm going to miss out on something that I can quickly nip in the bud, so to speak. But, you know...I'm gonna go home tonight & put my scale up for two weeks. I'm gonna do it. Luckily, I'm not one of those that gets depressed by what I see on the scale, even if there is a stall. I just let my body do what it needs to do & give it my all. But anyway, to the person that made the original post, at times, it can be hard & discouraging. Stick to the plan & continue to give it your all. Let your body do what it needs to do. Everything will naturally fall in place as time goes on. We are all here for you. & we do understand how you feel.

LOL! I like that. Nothing wrong with a little humor along the way.

So, I try my best to stick to waiting 30 mins before and after eating to drink anything. I've sometimes lately gotten a little slack & did like 15 or 20 mins, but how do you all feel about this. Please share. I'm open to facts, opinions, EVERYTHING...cause I'm pretty easy going, lol. Thank you so much everyone. Oh, & I was originally told 30 before and 45 after, but my "Nut" said 30/30 is fine enough.

Thankfully, this forum will give you encouragement & praise, though. Everyone hear is very good with that. Very uplifting. :-)

Please hang in there. Try not to be too hard on yourself. I guarantee you that others see if much more than you do. BUT don't count on people to praise you for it. Some will but some won't, honestly due to jealousy (& maybe other reasons they have). You may want to start measuring your inches to have another way to look at it. You've lost a lot of weight thus far. Keep pushing to lose even more if that's your goal & don't look back. Success is yours.

This is great! I like all of the pics you posted also. The more the better, IMO. Thanks for sharing this & a big CONGRATS for your happiness & also for your family cause hunnnniiiieeee, you can tell hubby is delighted too! That's sweet. You guys enjoy each other & enjoy life cause it's short. :-)

Big difference! Congrats on your loss!

You look great first of all. The little boy is looking at you as if to say "Oh boy, there she goes taking pictures again. I'm so over this." LOLOLOL...He's cute!

Man, Man, Man, can't wait til I'm under 200!!

Funny, cause this crossed my mind a few times, too.

These are great things!

At this stage in my journey, I (Thank God) don't struggle with emotional eating. It helps that I released a lot of negativity from my life recently! BUT, work keeps my mind busy & when not at work, I try to stay busy with friends. When alone, I like to watch various things on my phone via Youtube. I also spend a lot of time speaking with close family that lives MILES away. Oh, & I exercise, too. These are all of the things that help me.

Thanks!

Wow

That's great! Congrats!

Awesome!!

I'm in Arlington...not too far away.

Hey everyone! I'm just checking in. I had a hectic morning but was determined to exercise....& I did. I also stuck to my plan of walking on both breaks. I was also able to update my Ticker to reflect a loss of another 2lbs!!! I'm happy as you can tell. I had a mini stall, so this is great. Now this next part is for those of you that understand....I just want to give Glory to God, because he wakes me up every morning & gives me the tools & strength to (day by day) make my goals & dreams a reality. I'm so thankful for having the opportunity to have the surgery.

Awesome post!! I love your humor & positivity. Your determination will take you to the finish line, definately. I wish you the best, & I'm so glad you shared this story. It's encouraging. :-)

I know that's right!!! I'm always told how pretty I am, but I've been told that I have a "pretty face" on more than one occasion. lol...I don't wanna just be pretty, I wanna be hot!! my shape is returning. I had that Coca Cola bottle shape in high school. I've never been "misbuilt" as some put it, but I'm really fluffy now. Bringing my sexy back!! hahaha...

Hello all! This group is a great idea! Well, it would probably be nice if I had a profile pic in a group like this, huh? lol! Well, I'm newly single & also newly sleeved!! I'm 30, live in TX, and I love my life after being sleeved. I exercise regularly. & Ladies, I just purchased Palmer's Belly Butter (not exact name).I will have to let everyone know how much it helps. I don't have children, but I got it b/c of weight loss/gain stretch marks. I'll have to go back through & read everyone's posts. :-)
