Congratulations!

ROCK ON Sista!! You look amazing!! I have 5 more pounds till I reach the 90 mark! Keep it up! Your looking great! Its an awesome feeling to shed the unwanted weight after having it on ya for so long.

Congratulations!! You are doing great!!

Its such a great feeling to get on the scale and never see it go up. After many frustrating years of yo-yo weight it actually feels great to get on scale. Keep up good work. I'm 3mo out down 70lbs 3pant sizes 20 to 14 and 3 shirt sizes 3xl to xl

Amber that is so wonderful!!! You are such an inspiration thank you! I am scheduled for surgery in one week.

I am so happy I decided to have the sleeve. I just got so tired of being fat. I say fat, because I was. I'm still on my journey to a better and brighter future. I'm the type of person who believes, if something can go wrong with me, it will go wrong. I was so nervous going in to surgery. What if I die? What if I get a serious infection? What if I quit breathing? I decided to start praying and quit worrying! Thankfully, I have been the model patient so far for the sleeve. I have not had one complication! I have strictly followed my Drs orders. I'm experiencing a lot of different reactions from family and friends. My mom and sister are trying to force feed me. They think I'm not eating enough, which in fact I get in at least 65 g of Protein plus my 64 ounces of Water everyday! My friends look at me weird when I eat a few bites, and I'm full. But everyone still supports me. I have such a good sense of humor, I make light out of their worries about me. They are more afraid of this lifestyle change than I am. I still have a long way to go, but I'm loving life more and more everyday! Oh and I'm not a bit scared to stand on a scale! Bc I know I will never be at my heaviest EVER AGAIN!! I had surgery October 30, 2013. So I'm not quite 4 months yet, but close enough! 90 pounds down and I couldn't be any more proud of myself!

Hi all,
Although I spend most of my time over at MyFitnessPal, I still check in here on a regular basis. I am done purposely losing, and attempting maintenance, using the MyFitnessPal app and website. It's a HUGE reason behind my successful weight loss. I just finsihed the Whole30, where I lost my last 5 lbs and spent a month eating 100% clean- no dairy, grains, or legumes, just whole foods. Along the way I learned how to read labels. During maintenanceI am focusing on eating "clean", and following a mostly "paleo" diet, avoiding highly processed foods in favor of healthy fats, vegetables and fruit, lean meat, eggs, no artificial sweeteners, limited full fat dairy, and eating organic when available and affordable. I do kickboxing, Zumba, and C25k. I am looking into starting strength training because with all the shoveling snow I have had to do lately, it's obvious I lost more than fat.
I hope everyone continues to do well- I am so glad I did it. It saved my life.

Sleeved three and a half months ago on October 7, 2013, down 91 pounds :-)

I am so happy I decided to have the sleeve done! I have not had one complication, and my doctor told me I was right on track! This is the best decision I have ever made in my life.
