Not good progress, I'd say GREAT progress! Keep it up.

My nutritionist said that we should track our food for life. (I use My Fitness Pal) She says that tracking is essential to keeping the weight off long term. It does seem that it's easier to lose, than to maintain.

My job is in front of a computer, also. I took 8 weeks off. Even though you're job is sedentary, you still have to adjust to your new tummy and your new life. You won't be eating very much, and may feel weak. If you do go back right away, best of luck!

My biggest fear is that I am going to stretch out my stomach. I don't want to go back to my old way of eating. I don't miss any specific food. I miss eating big meals.

9 weeks out (3/4/14)
SW:299 / CW: 264 / Goal:170
I'm sorry! SW: 299 / CW:234!! / Goal: 170

Very inspiring!

(I probably sound stupid) Why would we need a medical alert?

I'm so proud of myself! I hit two milestones this morning. I was Sleeved on 3/04/14. My starting weight was 299, my starting BMI was over 50. Today, 9 weeks later, I hit the half-way point to my goal and my BMI is now just under 40. (Down 64.5lbs, and BMI down over 10.) Good job me!

Her reaction has nothing to do with you. It's about her own fear and insecurities. This is not cheating by any means. But if is was, so what!

Swimsuit model!

Wow! Good job!

You'll be amazed at how soon you'll get more used to it. Within a week or so, I bet you'll be feeling much more optimistic. Hang in there!

Ok, I went back to work today. Everyone told me how great I look. Everyone was really happy to see me and were very nice, at least to my face. Nice to my face is fine with me. When asked how I've been losing, I said eating lots of Protein, which is true. (I'm so over worrying about what others think.--Good job, me!)

My Doc told me the more Protein I consume, the more weight I'll loose. That inspired me to eat more protein, for sure.

I use My Fitness Pal, which helps a lot.

It's so true about not knowing when your hungry! Again, I thought I was the only one to feel this way. I've spent so many years eating and eating and eating that I really don't know what true hunger is.

OMG..I thought I was the only invisible over-weight (fat) person. When ever I walk around with my sister (and best friend), everyone makes eye contact with her and ignores me. It always makes me feel so ugly. Even worse...people always think I'm my sister's mother! She's only 4 years younger than me. This is one of my driving forces for my weight loss. I want people to think I'm the younger sister!

I'm thinking that people will probably assume that I'm lying if I make something up. I guess people are going to talk about you no matter what. I'm working on NOT Caring what others say.
