I like to go at those times because the gym isn't too busy. One thing that I just laugh so hard about now is the first night we went, the parking lot was full and we kept driving around for about 10 minutes looking for a parking spot that was really close. I then said... why are we joining a gym to walk on a treadmill and trying to park so close? And I wasn't the only one doing this, others were driving around even longer. Finally I parked as far away as we could. I usually do this because we have a new truck and I'm OCD about people dinging their doors into my truck.
They had plenty of spots, they just were not right by the door.

I feel like I'm hitting puberty all over again. It's like once the weight has come off I'm finding that I was less sexually active when I had the extra weight on... and my spouse always complained before hand. Now I can only imagine. I've always been comfortable with sex being an outlet to let out frustrations etc.

Gallstones hurt so so bad. Ive felt your pain. I hope everything goes well for you.

@@kymmiej11 I bet you'll have access to Nioxin at cost. That stuff does great on thinning hair. Hairdressers work their butts off, so I can def. see you being exhausted. The weight loss varies for everyone. I lost a lot of weight then it slowed down. I worked out and worked out and I couldn't burn anymore than what my body was willing to part with. Soon you'll be falling out of your pants and shirts like me, then you can complain about your clothes not fitting... It is the best thing I've ever enjoyed complaining about.
I def. suggest that you make sure your taking Biotin and your Vitamins. I didn't notice my hair thinning until a couple weeks ago. I upped my Biotin and got some Nioxin and its coming back quick.
In terms of regrets... think about this to help... there is nothing you can do to go back now. You can only go forward. It's a lot to go through but you said goodbye to bad habits and hello to exciting new good habits. In a year, you'll look back and laugh and be telling people the same thing. I was scared to death at some points but I just had to stay calm, realize there was no going back and all I did was say good bye to high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, bigger clothes and insecurity. I hit my goal weight of 220 lbs today. I'm not stopping yet.

I'm 31 and I'm getting carded now. I reached my goal weight today of 220 lbs. I'm going to keep on losing as much as I can. I've been told I look anywhere from 21 to 24.

Before surgery, I looked like I was upwards of 38 and I felt like I was 50. Always tired, out of breath and couldn't do anything and slept all the time. Now its almost impossible to stop me.

This made me realize I needed to upload some pictures. I'm not very photogenic and I don't see much of a difference, but I know its there. The wedding picture was taken in August. The small drivers license pic was taken in April of 14. The rest are all afters.

Congrats. A toast to #198.

You did great. You don't have that far to go to get rid of it. I keep procrastinating about joining a gym because its so cold at home right now and I think this post finally made me do it. I'll know by 6pm tonight lol.
Eating out is fun but try to stick to salads and try to avoid alcohol. Maybe once a week is fine but if your doing it each weekend, your going to pay for it. Also try to avoid sugar and starches. We all know what those do to us. grr
And btw @@Faith41 you look amazing.

yep. It isn't that bad. It hurts like 3R#OFM$I when they remove it. This is what it looks like.

Forget the male enhancers, amazing what happens when you lose weight.

Yep. My hubby did and he's lost 25 lbs... not that he was large or even big to begin with, but my unhealthy eating habits rubbed off on him... and I put 35 lbs on him and the healthy habits have now rubbed off on him. We now fight over the last Protein shake and who is going to go get more
We rent out three of our rooms in our house and our room mates complained at first because we changed our eating habits completely, but they now eat healthy too. No one in the house even drinks soda anymore. The room mates have also trimmed down and become healthier and have been very supportive.

Sobe, Gatorade, bottled Water and tea is the only thing anyone consumes. We also found that we were spending an average of about $100.00 a week buying drinks while we were out working/running errands etc. We stated buying sugar free Sobe's at Wally World and we've taken that number down to about $40.00 because we're not going to QuikTrip all the time We also make it a point to keep 4 bottles of SOBE in the car with us at all times so we don't have to buy something unhealthy to drink. I figure over the course of a year this will add up to a lot.
It's freezing cold here, but we try to get 10 miles a week in. Once it warms up again, we'll go back to 12 miles a day 7 days a week.

I admit I got scared a lot after surgery and I thought about it and said well is not like I can go back and reverse it. I had to try hard not to freak out. I just had to keep telling myself everything was going to be okay.
I ended up breaking down twice. I took a xanax, gathered my thoughts, calmed down and made it past it.
Now I'm in a 3 month stall and disappointed every week I go to the doctor. I know it'll pass. My size 34 pants don't fit anymore.

Yes, but its fun.

I had Alcohol tonight. I get so drunk so quick now. I'm glad I'm at home and well I had some bubbly so no idea but I'm sure I fell off my diet tonight... and I had a whole box of nerds.
Happy New Year!

My hair is thinning. I'm taking Vitamins like crazy and everything else. Damn body changes. I like your idea... people are jerks and will assume. Wonder if this would lead me to larger tips? I could just let people lead the story and let them believe what they want... and then I could get those wrinkles around my eyes removed... I like the way you think.

yeah I've avoided all carbonated beverages. I've also avoided caffeine like the plague but oh I miss it. I love i when the waiter/waitress thinks the food was bad because I couldn't finish it.
