Congrats Mark on your success w/the sleeve. I think most people lose the weight and they forget about the people who loved them when they carried all the excess weight and they find men/women giving them attention they didnt have before and they tend to cheat on their loved ones instead of hugging their loved ones and thanking them for being there thru this difficult journey. Hopefully you have learned a lot thru your journey and hug Debi more and more and appreciate her and her patience and stay faithful and true. Your pictures show amazing results and I'm sure you hear that from all the ladies but you don't need a site like this one to feel good about your progress. Look in a mirror and thank God you are where you are. Good luck!

My friend Anna started dating a user on this site and when they broke up he copied her pics from this site and created a craigslist add offering sexual favors using her pic. She contacted everyone on this site and they could not help her and this user is still on here so that is why I wouldnt post any pics as well. Listen to coco because creeps are everywhere including the ones on here!!!!!!!!

I have met a couple guys on this site and we have met up for some marathons - but afterwards they always tend to want more from me than advice on wt loss. I was hoping this site would be full of people struggling w/the same issues I am struggling with and not just guys wanting to get a piece of me. Yes I'm venting and I won't name any names but you know who you are. I just hope by me speaking up the other ladies on this site won't make the mistake of driving several hours to participate in activities w/other users of this site just to be lied to and used. Keep the emails to weight loss and don't believe the guys on here only care about your progress. I have met other users of this site complaining about the same thing. Just be safe and make good decisions - dont give out your personal info or your emails or phone numbers because these guys on here could easily become stalkers. Good luck and stay healthy.

The attention I get when I'm lifting at the gym or out with my kids. That is what I enjoy and that is what gives me motivation. Men wanting me like I'm some perfect 10 and I am sooooo not. That gives us all motivation. Married or not - we all love the attention from a stranger

I think aroundhky should have us all over and make us a meal with his fav list Quinoa is the only thing I have not tried on that list but would be willing to put anything in my mouth once. I don't eat anything white - Oprah did a fantastic article on this years ago. Google it! I can't eat a banana without my husband picking me up and carrying me into the bedroom.

fruits and veggies of course

Mud runs are fantastic and every city does one - get involved and google it

I'm a female body builder and I agree. Protein is still 90% of my diet. I avoid sugars and most carbs unless they are good carbs

A man with some height and weight and muscles beats a skinny runny dude anyday in my book. Keep up the good work Gem and aroundhky and dont ever stare at the scale. Let's get together and lift sometime boys!

I am always watching calorie intake and making sure anything I eat provides me with protein. Very important in healing process and losing wt.

$9000 FOR JUST LIPO OF MY THIGHS I can't afford that so I have to just accept me the way I am for now. Til I find a sugar daddy

Thanks for all the sweet words, I have met so many amazing people on this site and I am thanksful for each of you.

Why do you compare me to her?

I get emails daily asking me how to I lose my weight and look so good but I must admit, things are not as they appear. I too have love handles and golf ball thighs but I don't post the pictures that show that of course. I lost a ton of weight fast but I did it with the sleeve and the gym. Ask my family where I spend my free time when I'm not at the office, I'm at the gym. Nothing is free, we must work out and sweat to get results and that is the only reason I look like I do. I also avoid carbs and sugars and focus on protein. Protein shakes and yogart and chicken is in my daily diet. You can do it too, don't give up!

I dont regret my surgery either but would love to get some lipo dont to my butt and thighs. But the surgeons said they can suck out the fat but then I would have loose skin and I refuse to have that after all of my work. So I'm going to hit the gym more frequently and hope I see more results.
