    holliwood1980 got a reaction from krista132 in Whenever I'm having a bad day...   
    I am 8 months post op. I am down 99.5 pounds. That number doesn't even seem real. This journey is so amazing. We are the only ones who will ever understand the highs, lows, and complete life changing situations that come with weight loss surgery. Some days are great, some days are not. Whenever I have a bad day I get on this site and read everyone's success and tips. I also look back at old pictures to see how far I have come. I encourage everyone to do the same. Make some before and after collages. You will feel amazing in no time! The before pic is two months before surgery. The after is about 7 months post op.

    I'm one year out and down 113 pounds! This was the fastest year of my life! I am so happy that I finally made the decision to have surgery. Best decision I ever made! I still have a little ways to go but I am so pleased with my progress.

    Hey everyone! My surgery was December 18 and I am down 91 pounds since the day of surgery. I still have about 50 more to go. I am doing pretty well with most foods except meat. I feel really good, still tired a lot but great other than that! So glad I did this!

    Same here.....305 starting weight
    268 surgery weight
    197 current weight
    I got to 205 and it started loose about 1 lbs / week
    Then stalled for 4 weeks....
    I was eating about 1500 calories /day and 1 hr light cardio 4 times /week
    Since my goal is to get to 190 it didn't bother me and waited it out , also change walking/ light cardio and did cycling 1 hr day 6 times week.
    Stayed with 1500-1800 calories/ daily
    I think your body needs a rest sometimes from loose weight.
    Also started doing cycling at 530am to 630 am and did not eat before doing cycling ( only water)

    CowgirlJane has it exactly right. Cut out some carbs and change up your exercise routine. That's what my personal trainer said and it works.

    holliwood1980 got a reaction from Madmax68 in What's your "weight loss pet peeve?"   
    One pet peeve of mine is when co workers say "you just keep losing, I hate you" I know it's not really mean spirited but seriously do they even know what I had to do to be able to lose weight? I also like when people say they are losing the "hard"
    Way. I just say the way I'm losing is the same as you. I still have to exercise and count calories. The only difference is I had major surgery and sometimes throw up
    What I eat. Shuts them right up! Lol
