Of course I'm dragging my feet because it's Xmas and I want to start Dec 26th. That's the old me.

Thanks so much for posting that. I've been doing the reset and it's so hard. But I feel the restriction too so I know it's worth it.
Thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you!!

183

183 this week - (Monday) sorry I am so late but I'm out of the country on vacation.

I was depressed at first, but it does definitely pass. I think that honestly, I missed eating. It was comfort for me. And without that shield I was forced to see things I was denying, or things that I covered up with food. For me it passed.

185 today

186 today

Weight today: 187.6

I have posted this many times before but you might not have seen it. It takes age into consideration too. Hope it helps

I agree with the previous responses, it's time to get back to basics. Do a week of shakes and 1 no carb meal each day to get all the crap out of your system. Set several small goals and reward yourself when you achieve them. Make activity a family affair, the weather is getting better, go explore a local park or state recreation area with the kids on the weekend. Keep a cooler with high Protein Snacks in your car. They make coolers that plug into your car.
#1 YOU have to decide you have had enough which I believe is why you posted. Forgive yourself and move forward!
Tomorrow is a new day, use the tools you have!

Count me in! Goal weight: 175
Current weight: 186
Thank you so much for taking over this challenge!

Final weight was 186. Didn't hit goal. Looking forward to the next challenge!

Happy one year surgiversary to me! 122 lbs gone, 2-3 ft of inches gone. Whole new life at almost 50.  

Tonight for the first time in a long time, I went to the club. I went with my God brother and his wife (I call her my sister) and I had an awesome time! For the first time in at least 10 years I didn't feel like the fat ass outcast. I'm not sure if it's the little boost of confidence I have since the surgery or the awesomeness of the people I was with. I think it may have been both because I went on a cruise with some of these people about a year ago and I didn't feel the same then. I'm grateful for them and for the surgery! Tonight confirms that I'm surrounded by supportive friends who love unconditionally AND that I did the right thing for me having this surgery.
God is so awesome and I am eternally grateful!!

I very rarely post before and after pics, but I feel safer doing it here than I do anywhere else. Since I'm only 9 months out (I was sleeved 6-30-14), I consider myself to be a work in progress and not necessarily at my ultimate "after." I've lost 100 pounds, though, and I'm very happy where I am. I'd like to lose a bit more, but if I was told that I had to stay at exactly the weight I'm at now forever, I'd be blissfully happy.  

Okay, I broke the stall! 283! Good for me! (Pats self on the back, lol). I won't make my goal weight of 250, but I tried and this just goes to show that it can be done. I think I was a smidge unrealistic, but now that I know it can be done, I'm very encouraged by the progress! You go girl!!!!!!!!! #teamseptemberslimmer

Whenever I feel myself slipping, I give myself a pep talk too.
Naked.
In front of the fridge.
With my iphone 6 plus (HD camera) and my selfie stick.
Then I download it, print out a few copies and stick them on my food cabinets, fridge and freezer.
I save the original on my phone to look at when I grocery shop or when I feel my resolve slipping and I'm not at home.
