I work in a hospital and check in patients for surgery. I love to meet patients of my surgeon before they go to surgery. I always show them before pictures and they can never believe it. We have to weigh everyone day of surgery and I love to tell them "are you ready to never see this number again?" Gets them all so excited. Needless to say I tell everyone that's interested. Several people have approached me about it and it makes me feel good to help and encourage somebody. There will always be negativity but the good will always outweigh the bad.

How about not having to lift your leg up onto the bed to put your socks on.

If I could give any one piece of Advice is to trust the system. There are going to be times that you are going to stall and think it's not working like so many other diets but it works!! I am now able to eat small portions of anything and it's more than a few bites. Initially eating became very "uneventful" but it gave me time to make changes in my choices and now I make better decisions overall. eat as much Protein as you can!! You'll be so sick of it but it will be worth it. My hw was 232 before insurance approval. My sw was 218. I am now 147 so I'm down 85 from my highest weight. I wear a size small scrubs to work and I work for a plastic surgeon. I am having a Tummy Tuck and breast lift April 9th.

Congratulations!!! You look awesome.

So funny. Great sense of humor. Look forward to seeing.

Should have thought about this before I started this challenge. My weight is 148 which is up 3 pounds. I had Tummy Tuck and breast lift last week ----so I should have sat this one out knowing I would gain weight from surgical Fluid and swelling. Is there a plastic surgery forum- I am curious how long this will last?

145.4 today

Yes I know the feeling. I just move around. I don't eat appetizers because I say I'm saving up for dinner. Then I wait for everyone else to start eating before I fix my small plate and then I push it all around my plate to look like I ate more. Then I jump up and start cleaning before anyone notices I didn't eat much.

I haven't posted for a while BUT I couldn't just sit back and let seela take all the crap and guilt trip people are saying on here! There is not one single person on this forum who hasn't said man, I look fat in this or made some fat reference. Fat is not some horrible word that seela was using to attack people with. Being fat is something everyone on this site is either dealing with currently or has previously dealt with and has been lucky enough to loose weight but will most likely always have " fat people insecurities and emotions". Yes, I just said that! Obese people have different emotions and insecurities than healthy size people do... We have had to deal with feelings of embarrassment and shame that smaller people will never feel. The feeling of not wanting to die of a,heart attack or stroke cuz we have gotten so big. I grew up a normal size and ballooned up to 270lbs by the time I was 25. I have gone from a size 20 to a 6 in one year (130lbs) so I feel I can voice both sides of the fence. Seela can use the word fat without it beingoffensive because she or he has lived it. Glad to have gotten that off my chest.... Haters, feel free to attack. I'm sure someone out there has been offended

Today's weight 145. No change.

My start weight is 145.6
My goal for this challenge is 143

Seela, that would have bummed me out also. I went to our hospital support group last night and came out feeling like you. Very few superstars there . I am sympathetic to the support aspect of the group but each session turns into a "band " vs "sleeve " rally. Which one is best ??? Blah blah blah . That's a question for the surgeon - not strangers . Just my opinion ... I like it here much better .
