Hey everyone how is everyone doing? I pray everyone is doing well. Just checking in.The weight is coming off slower for me like a turtles pace. Can't complain because this was the best decision of my life. Took a new face picture, finally I loved it ! No more double chin! Or should I say triple chins! I have 21 more pounds to reach goal and when I do I will post a full body pic of before and after. Tell me everyone how is going so far? This is my new face pic. 58 pounds gone! YYYEEEEAAAAAA!!!!!!

It will be here before you know it, So happy for you girl !!!

3 days for me. I have UHC too.

Hi, I live in Toms River, N.J. My family is from Pemberton, N.J. You are going to be sweetie. If you have any questions you can write me here or email me. We could even talk because we live so close. This was the best decision I made. Loving my sleeve. I have 2 children and they have been supportive. Daughters a 8 year old and 15 year old. Email is holinatyfamily@yahoo.com

Congratulations! If you need support we are all here for you. So glad your doing well. Are you in much pain? How is everything else going?

Congratulations! You will be in my prayers and let us know how you are doing when you get a chance sweetie!

I agree with Maggie and Jeanie.Also, I used to weigh myself everyday too. I used to get discouraged also because I wasn't dropping fast enough and my weight use to fluctuate between 1 to 2 pounds at times. I do not weigh myself like that anymore. But I know I am progressing because of how I feel and my sizes. I have gone from a 22 to a size 12 now in jeans. No more elastic stretch I am in the zipper and pocket club now!!!! HHHHHEEEEEYYYYY!!!!! I also went from a 2xl shirt to a large. Okay supermodels watch out! It will happen it just won't be as quick as we want it.But I do agree. If y have concerns you should talk to your surgeon. 30 pounds is still wonderful and still a loss. Your body has to realize your different eating lifestyle and get used to the change. It will come off the way and time it's supposed too. If you feel depressed and discouraged talk to us. We are all in this together. We can offer support and encouragement. Now let's DO THIS!!!!!

When did you have your surgery? What are you eating ? If you are dropping weight still then that is what really counts. Are you working out? Everyone's body is different and weight loss is different for everyone! It will take time. If you are doing the right things, then the weight will come off. Maybe not as fast as we would all like but it will.

You look so beautiful!!!!!! Have you noticed you have more energy and confidence?

I am so happy for you! I know you were SO surprised and happy! It is so unbelievable isn't it? Sometimes I think I must be dreaming! I thank GOD!

I am so happy for you downsizingdiva! I can definitely relate. To add on to yours, I also struggled with knowing where my wall is. Sometimes I still do.But getting to know when to stop a lot more now. I also had to get used to not eating as much as I used to and the relationship I had with food. I used to be my comfort and go to that made me happy at times. I no longer need food like that. I also adopted a healthier organic lifestyle with working out. I fell so good!

What do you all think was the hardest thing for you to deal with on our journey? Are you all happy with your progress?

Doesn't that just make you want to cry, but in a good way! Yea, unfortunately I have lot of before pictures UUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! I have yet to take an after picture yet. I guess I am still afraid to see what the picture looks like! Please keep me updated on your progress. Your doing AWESOME girl!!!!!!!!!! My husband keeps staring at me. I ask him why do you keep staring at me and he says I never seen you look this thin before! I am so proud of you! that is so cute that he said that, wow it's a great feeling! I stare at myself in the mirror lol, lots of people have been astonished in the last few weeks, ones that haven't seen me since I was about 300

You look BEAUTIFUL!!!!! We are doing so AWESOME !!!!! WE ROCK!!!!!!

You look BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! So proud of you!
