  2. @@Woodland4807 Part of your problem is your not eating, your body is in starvation mode it's extremely hard to lose in starvation mode. Everything is slowed down Your metabolism has probably all but stopped. Once you start eating it will adjust.
  3. Write them a list. That's what I had to do. Do they want physical proof? I just had to write down everything I had tried.
  4. @@AllStar1 oh, I don't know what I did but thanks

  8. @@Shustar Yes! And under amour workout clothes!!
  9. There you go! Congrats on your progress thus far! Good luck! @@Dr-Patient
  10. @@Dr-Patient Hey at least you caught on to it before it got out of hand. Sometimes it's hard to keep going but I look at my old "naked" pic to keep up the motivation, it works! I won't be sharing those
  11. Anyone else who wants to share feel free.........lol! We're all friends here!!!
  12. @@samelton68 Keep working on it. I'm sure It could have looked better if I would have exercised but I just wasn't feeling it, now I have no choice!
  13. Oh I am! I like to squeeze it its all soft like a teddy bear!' Ha!!
  14. Odd thing is the stretch marks show up more now....well I guess it not too odd the skin is deflated it just never crossed my mind that that would happen.

    Well you could write her out a list of ALL the more pressing issues going on in the world and hand it to her. That should give her something else to worry about other than you. I've heard If you put visine in someone's drink it will make them have explosive diarrhea!! But it may also kill them so you just never mind that
  16. Well I say embarrassing but not really. I'm pretty proud of the 90 yr old woman looking belly!! I've been asked a lot about how the stomach looks after losing so much weight....well here's mine. It's not perfect, I never expected it to be so I guess that's why it doesn't bother me to show it. I'm 34, I've had 3 c-sections and 5 wonderful VSG stabbings so to say my body/stomach has been through some trauma is an understatement. It's ok though, when the time comes if I feel I want it fixed then so be it but until then I'm not hiding her from the world anymore. Set goals, strive for excellence but remain realistic and you won't be disappointed. Be proud of what you have/are accomplishing. We can be our own worst critics! PS: There is a C-section roll hiding under those pants, don't be fooled!! My pup pup in the background is not impressed but I put him on a diet so......
  17. I don't recall having any real stalls but I also don't weigh that often so I wouldn't really know that for sure. I've noticed that when I do weigh now it's not as dramatic so now that I'm closer to goal I have to really work for it.
  18. The face changes a lot!! I think the worst part of my body would be my arms! They do have some looseness to them that I HATE and my boobs shrunk, obviously not your issue...my stomach isn't "great" but I've lost 90+ lbs and have also had 3 c-sections so it was already shot. Hold on and I will add a picture of my stomach before and after,....
  19. Well Im a girl but I started out at 267 I'm 5'8 and now, last time I checked I was 169. Still a work in progress. I'm 8 months post op.
  20. Good luck! Don't stress! It gets easier
  21. @ I didn't have to give myself any shots.
  22. The cost is crazy! I have Federal BCBS and only had to pay 560 for everything but the bill to insurance was $38,000. Wow! I have a new luxury car for my stomach!!
