Hey all! I totally needed this. Everyone has me super pumped. I had the gastric bypass in October 2015 with my starting wt of 278 lbs. It took me a little over a year and I got down to 166 lbs which is my lowest wt thus far. I felt amazing at 166 lbs then life happened and all my bad habits crept back into my life and I gained 20 lbs in one year. When I went to my PCP she said "wow you've gained 20 lbs in a year, I don't want you to be like all my other patients that had the gastric bypass and gained all their weight back". That statement kind of killed me and made me fill so ashamed but I'm happy she said it because something has to change. So I got back on track on 1/2/17!!! I'm planning on eating low carb, working out 3-4 times per week with a personal trainer and make this forum a daily must read to keep me motivated!!! Good luck to everyone!
1/2/17: Wt 186.3

It should get better but as someone already pointed out this is probably the cursed head hunger as there is no way on a ketogenic diet you will crave carbs. I am one week out and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't love some sweets myself but I am certain it is only because I can not ahve them as I was not much of a sweets person before.
In the past, when I did Atkins (high fat and Protein, low carbs) my carb cravings were totally under control. I think the fat helped and we are missing the fat in this diet. But when I allowed myself a 'cheat' that was it, off the wagon I went.
I second the idea of considering a therapist. If nothing else, everyone can benefit from one hour a week where someone has to sit and listen to you!

I stepped on the scale this morning and was greeted by a triple milestone surprise!
1. I've officially lost 100 pounds!
2. I'm halfway to goal!
3. I am no longer morbidly obese!
Such a happy happy day.

On November 19th I stepped on the scale and was shocked to see 198.9...,....ONEDERLAND
Today I was 198 and I officially weigh what my drivers license says I do! WOO HOO!! LOL
So now onward and downward to my next goal of 175lbs.

Hey steph! Can I change my goal weight to 159. I'm going to try to get to the 150's. We'll see how it goes! ???? And thanks so much for doing this! I've been out of control for the past two months and now I'm getting back on track because of this challenge. Thanks again!

Today my scale told me I lost 40 pounds! Holy moly! I feel like if I strapped on some fairy wings I could fly away!
What do you think? Does my face look thinner? Maybe just a bit?

Holy Toledo! That's awesome!!!!!! Great job!

166.7 so excited!!! ????????????????????????

No sadly when I first posted last week I weighed 176.8 but I thought I would weigh myself again Monday morning for an accurate starting weight and I gained 1.2. So my official starting weight is 178. Thanks for checking!!!

Sorry to be a pain but can I change my CW to 178.
