I can see such a big difference in your belly from the two pics you have up!!! You are doing a great job & you look fantastic!!! Stay positive & always remember its one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. It took time to gain the weight & it will take time for it to come off. 40 lbs in 11 weeks is awesome & you should be very proud of your progress thus far & may you continue to be so blessed along your journey!!!

You look fabutastic!!!! Awesome job!!!

Thank you very much & congratulations on getting sleeved & you will be blessed on your journey as well!!! Wishing you the best!!!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much I really appreciate all the support & also the unnoticed hair loss! My hair is a lot thinner & on the sides & in the back I do have some bald spots but when brushed just right it is still hide-able! I have started getting some new growth, I am just hoping it stops falling out faster then it grows in!

Thank you so much!!! I never thought in the beginning I would be this far in my weight loss at 8 mths & I am still amazed every day of this journey!!!

Thank you & yes I do!!! I feel better then I have in about 17 yrs!!!

I do try to stay away from carbs as much as possible but once or twice a month I allow myself to have basically whatever I want. Such as a a half a tuna or bologna & cheese sandwhich, which I usually do not finish it. I do have a weakness for those darn veggie straws which I allow myself to have as a snack occasionally. However for the most part I stick to the Protein first, then veggies & I usually have no more room for anything else. Breakfast is usually 2 scrambled eggs or a Protein shake. lunch I may have some lunchmeat rolled up with cheese or approx. 4 to 5 oz of cottage cheese. dinner I will choose from the following, a chicken breast, small piece of steak, chicken burger, shrimp or some type of seafood, tuna, a meatball with meltes mozzarella & a lil bit of sauce with broccoli or some other type of veggie. Occasionally I will have a couple of spoonfuls of mashed potatos or rice & Beans or Pasta but not very often as those things are still uncomfortable to my new belly. I do have the occasional snack as well about once or twice a month. I may have a half a candy bar, half a cupcake, or something like that. I have had some fried foods so I would be lying if I tried to say I stick to the plan exactly as planned. I have strayed & I have allowed at times for bad habits to slip in but once I notice I make a conscience choice to nip it in the butt. For Snacks I usually choose from 2 string cheese sticks, a small handful of peanuts, roasted broccoli with garlic in olive oil.

Thank you so very much!!!

I know how you feel. I get down about it as well when I stall. We have been big long enough & we just want to finally see that goal number across the scale! I wish you continued success on your way to goal & also in maintenance!!!! God bless!!!

Awesome success thus far & may you continue to be so blessed as you continue on your journey!!! You look fantastic & congratulations! !!!

Congratulations on being asked to do such an awesome thing! Sorry you declined it but it still had to be a fantastic feeling to know you have been such a success that your doctor wanted to use you as his success story for his office!

Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to go shopping hopefully friday or saturday for a new birthday outfit!!! I am actually excited to go out & find something this year!!!

Always remind yourself that none of us gained the weight in a short time & I am sure many of us had stalls while gaining as well & we were happy for them then... lol... it will keep going down just sometimes its slower then we want it to be & congratulations on your weight loss as well! You are doing a great hob & I have heard that the closer we all get to goal the harder it is to drop it off but don't get upset or discouraged its not a race & when your body is ready you will get there!!!

I stalled out for about a mth from my 7 mth to my 8 mth mark @ 93 lbs down & then suddenly this past week I dropped 7 lbs & hit my first big goal of 100 lbs down! Just stay positive & keep moving forward & it will begin to move again. Stalls are normal, it is a way of letting your body catch up with the pounds you have lost. Have you taken your measurments? Usually for me when the scale is not moving the inches are!!! One day at a time, one foot in front of the other!!!

Thank you very much!

Thank you everyone, I appreciate all the support from the bottom of my heart & thank you all for the bday love as well!!! & yes I am much happier & healthier now!!!

Oh trust me my hair has been falling out by the handfuls since 3 mths po I just made sure I brushed it in a way it stayed as hidden as possible... thank you very much for the support I truely appreciate it!!
