indecision

I have not tried it in a protein shake but I bet it would be good. I have been eating frozen yogurt YES the kind with "how dare I" sugar since about 2 months out. Some of them have a fair amount of protein in them and is a better choice than ice cream.....

WOW!!! You look amazing! Congrats to you on your success!!

I think when it comes to maintaining exercise is the key. Do you have someone you can work out with that will help keep you on track? The way I do it is I am setting a goal for myself like running a 10K or a duathlon and driving my focus towards that goal. It is easy to get in a rut and really hard to pull out of it sometimes so I understand. That being said you have done extremely well with your weight loss so don't beat yourself up too much.

BCBS TX no wait here either.

Wish I would have kept records like that. Starting weight 362 and I am 6'3' At 6 months I had lost 112 #'s and April 3rd will be 1 year for me and I am at 153 #'s lost now. I can let you know the exact 1 year mark loss when it gets here. "normal" weight for me according to BMI Calc is 199 so assuming that is correct I have lost 93.86% of my excess weight. With 10 pounds to go.

You look awesome! Congrats on a successful first year!

If you told me a year ago I was going to get into bike riding I would have laughed at you. I really enjoy it plus it is such a good workout! Thanks everyone!

Yes I did. I really like Dr Nick. I have had nothing but positive dealings with him and his staff!

Without question. So far no complications whatsoever...

Thanks!

The weight does come off slower after the first six months without question. That being said if you continue the good habits you learned the first 6 months you will likely still lose. Next month is my 1 year and I am still losing but is more at a pace of 1 to 2 pounds per week and some weeks none at all.

@@wholenewlife in ever thought in a million years I would get anywhere close to onderland.. Congrats to you on your 1 year success as well!! @@Fiddleman your right eating all the time is not so bad it just seems odd to me at times when I am losing weight but eating like there is no tomorrow. Don't get me wrong I know my body needs the fuel right now so I think I will get over it!!

Thing is I am not trying to lose anymore but it keeps coming off so I am not fighting it for now. I'm working out so much these days that I feel like I am constantly eating...

Thanks all!

100.2!! That is awesome. Anyone can lose 100 pounds but you have gone above and beyond! You look awesome congrats to you!

So as of stepping on the scale yesterday I am now half the man I use to be.. Literally... I was at one point in my life at 418 pounds. Just before surgery I was at 362. Yesterday I weighed in at 209 so 153 pounds gone since surgery and 209 overall. Talk about feeling like an entirely different person! I am still loosing weight at this point at a rate of 1 to 2 pounds per week. April 3rd will be my 1 year since surgery and this has been one crazy ride! I decided to Celebrate this milestone and picked up a new road bike yesterday. Who would have thought I would be riding one of those bikes with the skinny tires or riding a bike at all.... Not me thats for sure!!

Congrats!! That is a huge milestone for most of us and it is such a good feeling!

Thank you for writing out my thoughts. You may want to do a little house cleaning up there. It took a bit to dig through your head.....

No less than 2 times a day. Am I obsessed over it? Absolutely... It may be an excuse but I do this because I feel like it helps me keep myself in check. If I am not weighing daily then I must not care that I gain weight back. The scale does not control me though. I just like to know where I am on the daily.

Wow, impressive, you look great and fit xx Thank you!!

A little over 11 months out and 149 since surgery and 205 overall for me.

Nice! You look great! Congrats on your success.

Wow you look awesome! Congrats to you!

I am 11 months out and still get loud noises.
