You look fabulous!!! Congratulations!!

Hey, who said he looks like a little old man???

Just viewed your profile pic ~ wow! What a transformation! You know, I still am shocked at how much younger people look after they've lost weight. I guess I never thought about weight aging people but when I see before & after pics, it's almost like seeing a Mother/daughter or Father/son (in your case) pic! You look awesome! Congratulations!

What a wonderful post to read! I'm so happy for you because I can only imagine how happy you are! It's like being handed a new life, isn't it? Congratulations to you & please, post pics as soon as you're able so we can all be even more motivated!

I too use My Fitness Pal & find it extremely easy. I love that you can change the amount of what you ate too on there, like a default might show up as 1 sandwich but I switch the amount to .50 to show I only had half of a sandwich (I'm not eating sandwiches yet, just using that as an example). It's pretty easy...if I'm home I just walk over to the computer & log in what I've had. If I'm out for the day, I still pretty much remember what I've had & just log it all in at night & I do log every single little thing...even if I had something I wasn't supposed to! It's interesting to see the totals by the end of the day! I know you can do this on your phone too but I'm not that phone savvy to use it on my phone so I just do it on my computer at home. Whatever works or helps is what I'm thinking!

That's awesome & you should be very proud!!! Congratulatons! Only down to go from here!

Loved all the details you shared! I agree with you, hate the word "CROTCH" YUCKO! You're doing fabulous! How about some pictures??!! Congratulations to you!

Wow...your body & face has changed! You look great! You must feel great too! Congratulations!

You're gorgeous! Keep up the good work!

You look amazing & your beautiful eyes stand out even more now! Congratulations!

I'll send you my address!

My journey just began but I do have one real regret....that I didn't do this sooner! Like at least 10 years sooner!

Your dinner sounded delish! I had salmon today. I used to eat a whole piece which is 7 oz but now I only eat half & sometimes less than that! YIPPEE!!! I should notice a diff in the grocery bill soon!

What a difference! I'm sure you're very excited about it!! Good job!

I printed mine out yesterday & went today to GNC & got my free Quest Bar! So it's a real coupon! Thanks once again!

Thanks! I just sent for mine as well!

If I got rid of my bra, I'd be kicking my girls down the street as I walked! That has nothing to do with sagging from weight loss either. But as big as they are, they are hanging south so far, they're almost in Florida!

What a difference! Beautiful girl!

What an inspiring post! Good for you & keep us going with your uplifting posts! Hope to hear about your journey often!

**Raises hand** Count me in too...mine is more of a gurgling noise from my throat. But the kicker is that when I'm full, I hiccup twice REALLY LOUD! I don't understand that & will be embarrassed if I do it out in public! I asked my doctor about the gurgling noises & he said it's fairly common. He said it would go away in time.

I have no advice to offer, but just want to wish you both well. I hope you keep us up to date on your journey!

What a difference in such a short time! Good for you!!

I'm just over 4 weeks out & I've had a 2 lb gain. I attribute it to my body being in starvation mode because most days I only get in about 500-600 calories, so there is NO WAY I could gain 2 lbs with that. But I keep trying to get more in & I have lost a considerable amount of weight in 4 weeks so I'm just going to keep trudging along....Don't feel alone tho.

Thanks! Dying to try them too since one of my friends is addicted to them!

We can't change people, no matter what we think. Give it your absolute "ALL" before making any permanent decisions. I guess kind of like before you were sleeved, right? Do what you have to do to be happy tho in the end. No sense in staying with someone who makes you absolutely miserable AFTER you've tried everything. This way there are no regrets. Good luck to you.
