Thank you for sharing???? I'm going to try to break my drinking with meal habit, the glass of water before makes sense I'll try it out ???? thank you

I started my journey March 18,2014 and it's been a great one best decisions I ever made. I stated at 280 and I'm now at 165. This is the first month I haven't lost any weight. My question is does it look like or sound like something that's happen to any of you? Is this he end of my weight loss? Overall I'm very happy and wouldn't bother me. But just thought I'd ask:)

You know some thing happen to me with thanksgiving and all. And yes I've let bad habits creep up i been really starting to watch what I eat. I'm about to start my period too so maybe that's it. I have a bad habit of drinking water with my food I always been the type to drink with food every bite idk how to stop that. Ty for sharing

Yea past months I've lost 6 pounds it's slowed down. I'm 10 pounds away from goal. Like I said I'd be happy at 165 but my goal was 155 so I feel like I need to get there. Hope that makes sense ????

Haha I accidentally wrote hight instead of weight

I totally get you. I have never really set a long term goal, it was little ones. Lose 50lbs, less than my husband, shop in regular size stores, get below 200, lose 100lbs, and so forth.
Then at size 8 I figured I would get no smaller and bought a lot of clothes. Then shrunk out of them. Did the same with size 6 and now am shrinking out of those. They were never a goal. Fitness more than size wasy goal and now I run half marathons do triathlons and have a yoga body with lots of muscle.
Size inflation is a big part of it. I wore a 12 in middle school. My 12 post wedding dress from my wedding day is big on me but not THAT big. Maybe two sizes, not four. Size 0 didn't exist back in "the day" and now we have 00 and even 000 in some brands.
It's a journey!

This is my first thanksgiving since being sleeved last December and for the first time in the longest, I was not dreaming about all the food I was going to consume. First, I can't physically eat more than a few ounces...so I have to choose carefully. Second I have worked so hard this past year, I really think twice before I eat. Food is no longer my main mission. It is no longer my scapegoat when I feel depressed and it is not my safety blanket or my reward.
Just want to wish everyone the best holiday and give you motivation to hang in there. I am still on my weightloss journey, but it feels so good to be healthier. My goals are more about fitness and not so much about the scale. Once you get closer to goal weight, the pounds don't just slide off.."you gotta work @;$$:!" Like the Britney spears song. So I encourage all of you to exercise and you will be successful. (Plus it helps with all the loose skin and jiggles ????)  

I'm 5'3 and currently in a size 14-16 or XL. I would love to be a size 8-10 and a medium.
Best of luck to you!

Idk it comes and go's not gonna lie I have chips and crap I shouldn't eat sometimes I usually eat clean all week and weekends I treat myself. I'll have a spoon of Pasta a bite of bread I don't deprive myself but sometimes I get on strict mode and I think that's fine too. With sweet sometimes I'll have some and sometimes sugar free or just none. I'm going on 9months out 115 down 10 pounds to go Sw-280. Obviously I'm doing something right. Size of my stomach still feels tiny I can eat 2 chicken nuggets max and maybe half a slice of medium thin crust pizza, just so you get an idea. Good luck:)

Remember, you cannot judge yourself by others... your journey will be different... just stay on the right path and you will find the "light"

Tell me about it I'm going on my third week this coming Tuesday and I'm still only 14 pounds down I was 15 pounds down but I gained a pound. I was so depressed yesterday super down. I wrote on here yesterday and they told me it's normal to stall. It happens. So don't feel like the only one your doing great you'll start losing once again. How much have u lost?

I hit the 100 lbs down mark yesterday March 30, 2014! I am so happy & excited about it. My surgery date was July 18, 2013 & I weighed 321 lbs when I began my journey & recently found out the day of surgery I was 314 lbs but the day I came home from the hospital I was 321 lbs again so that is what I go by. Yesterday I weighed in at 221 LBS!!!
I had been praying that I would hit my biggest goal by my birthday & I made it a week early! My birthday is next sunday & i will be 34!!! This is the most awesome birthday gift I could ever give to myself!
I feel so much better in all areas of my life. I am healthier & down to a weight I have not seen since I was about 16 yrs old.
This weight loss journey not only changed my weight but my life! I have started going back to school to get my GED & then hoping to start a nursing program or something in the medical field after I accomplish my GED! I am more social & go out of my way to speak to people now as well! I have become more outgoing like I used to be when I was younger!
I have been struggling some mentally & emotionally. I have began to feel like a stranger is looking back at me in the mirror & have been told I am in a way grieving my "fatter" self. I know that it will pass & I have called & made an appointment with a therapist who specializes in the weight loss journey, so I know I will be ok & it will take time just as this whole journey does!
A friend of mine just passed away last week from cancer & her support motto was always one day at a time, one foot in front of the other & she would always say that to me as well when I began my weight loss journey & so I will continue to follow her advice & keep moving forward one step at a time!!!
In the pictures below I was 8 mths & 1 wk po & weighed 228 lbs so I have lost another 7 lbs since last tuesday which makes my total 100 LBS!
