@Xena7158 First FitBit. I've used other activity trackers in the past, but not FitBit brand.

I just got my first Fitbit (also my first tracker) about 10 days ago now - i'm a wee bit obsessed with it, and all the graphs and stats - but I do find it extremely motivating! I had no idea I moved around so much at my 'desk/office' job - lol

Let us know how you like it. I have a fitbit, but I am looking to upgrade. The Fitbit Blaze is a contender but I'm hesitating at the price for now.

Yeah, I started half marathon training and that is definitely a factor. Been trying to increase my calorie intake to compensate, but apparently it's not enough. Time for some peanut butter pie!

Go girly!

Congratulations!!

That is awesome!! Congrats!!!

Terrific!! You're doing great!

As long as you're doing it, you don't have to believe it. The rest of us will believe it for you.

How are you doing in your training?

That is awesome news!!! Congrats!!!

Wonderful! I have 14 lbs. more to reach my goal - it's slow going but the end is in sight. Congrats on maintaining - that's my biggest worry at this point - being strong enough to keep all the weight off forever.

I haven't hit the four on the floor position either but I have had the sweats and knot in the throat feeling. thought I wanted to puke and remembered I had just gotten sleeved about three weeks earlier and said never again.

I had seriously terrible stabby pains in my chest... like the worst heart burn in history. Then I was spitting up this clear, foamy mucus stuff. Then finally I threw up for real and immediately felt way better. But the chest pain and mucus stuff lasted a good hour and a half before the throwing up happened.

yuck....

like @Babbs I will keep the no throw up thing going....

I moved right before surgery into an RV and again into my new house about 10 days post - it was crazy! Enjoy your new place for the holidays!

Great pic's, thanks for sharing.

You look delightful!

You look fabulous! I love your shape.

What a difference a year makes. You look great!

Congratulations! No regrets I assume. Did you have any trouble during the beginning stages? I'm about 2 months from my surgery.

dspark2024, it was rough in the beginning for sure. I had a lot of trouble with sipping because of the swelling in my esophagus. And then it was just a lot of adaptation to my new way of eating. That's all a pretty distant memory now, though.

Congratulations!!

Awesome. I so appreciate your comments and suggestions. Has been so helpful.

wow , your an inspiration to me. my surgery is Feb 22nd. I'm nervous but seeing your pics has picked me up.

Awesome!

Wonderful! Great job.

Awesome!

I think you will be fine. stay focused.

You are an incredibly awesome sister !!

Well, I've spent about 12 of the last 20 hours moving heavy objects up and down stairs and chasing children around, so I think I've burned about 10,000 calories. Also didn't find time for a morning snack OR lunch today, so I've had two afternoon snacks. This is definitely going to take some adapting. Things should settle down SOME once everything is moved in and unpacked. My husband and I spent all evening yesterday from the time we got home from work until my sister arrived at 11:30 clearing out all of OUR stuff in the two rooms we're relinquishing, plus trying to do at least a nominal level of toddler-proofing the living areas of the house. Then this morning I spent the whole morning either unloading the uhaul or wrangling children. Is it sad that I was RELIEVED to come to work this afternoon to escape the madness?

Wonderful!

yay, keep up the good work.

Great!!
