I started just over a year ago @ 226. I think the biggest thing for me is having bones that stick out. I'm currently 141 lbs at 5ft 4in. I no longer have a goal weight. I'm content where I am and other than some extra skin (which I hate) I can't complain. My pants have went from a size 18 to a size 4.

All the double-takes when you walk past a window or mirror. I can barely believe it's me every time.
My knees and even calves not rubbing together anymore when I walk. Don't think I will ever have the "thigh gap" but not being able to hear the friction shuffle is enough for me.

You need to tighten the straps on your sandals because they are too loose.

I'm 5'6 and currently wearing 12s a couple 10s fit, I'm down 43 pounds since surgery, and would like to get down to sz 8. I don't foresee a problem since the weight keeps coming off
I started pre op wearing a tight 16. Very exciting!

184.2 today

You look wonderful! Great job!

186 this morning

When you try on pants in your closet that wouldn't go past your hips pre surg, now they fit -a little baggy to boot! Go me!

Weigh in today, 187.2

I would go for a sugar free fudgecicle. They are 30 calories and hit the spot. My dr said they are ok.

Your tickers are there viewing from the webpage. Unfortunately the app doesn't show ticker or most profile info. This is why newbies want us to type our stories up in threads....I think it's a shame as I spent alot of time reading tickers and profiles preop!

Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in on Friday September 5th. From there on after, weigh ins will take place Fridays. Last weigh in will be Friday October 31st. This will allow a total of 9 weigh ins in all. I will post the link for the spreadsheet once its the week of. Few reminders. -Weights will be entered in whole numbers. -please post weigh ins here in this post only. -we are all here to support each other..so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help. -if you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post. -if you miss a weigh in...no biggie. Just report back in the next week. -this is an amazing tool to help us all! Make it fun, challenge yourself, and cheer on the rest of the pack! -I'm no excel expert. I can do only the basics. So this isn't a fancy spreadsheet by any means. But I will keep it up to date and do my best to report the onderlands and other big crossings as I am able to. I do have young kids and I also work too. So some weeks i'm not able to update until a few days after report in day. It will be done. Lastly, you will know it is updated once I have liked your post. Have fun with this! Challenge yourself in new ways! Join us for the halloween challenge!

So, my sons school had curriculum night, tonight. I was running late, and literally running to his class room to make it on time, now his class room , same as last year, is way way down a long hallway, outside a door, you then walk outside about 200 ft. Then into another building, And then up a lengthy flight of stairs. It didn't even occur to me until after I got home, that last year, visiting his class room, I was winded, and embarrassed for being so out of breath. This time was a total new experience. I was not winded in the least, I ran and zoomed up those stairs, like it was nothing. Amazing.... I just love my sleeve, and crossfit has definitely helped too!
