Good morning!! 246.8 today!

You know you lost weight when you don't recognize your passing reflection!!!! ????????????

Thanks ladies! My parents have always called me big mama. Last weekend, my dad was saying "lil mama come here." I thought he was talking to my daughter! After calling "lil mama" 3xs he said "Mercedes, you don't hear me calling you?!" ???? ???? I'm not that small!! Soon, though, God willing!

Hi @@MamyBeth! Ohhhh do I feel your pain!! My arms look terrible! They're still waving 30 seconds after I've stopped waving ! I knew I would have loose skin though, since I had so much weight to lose, and I've been overweight for so long. My weightloss also slowed down drastically when I began to allow junk back into my system. There have been quite a few gatherings at my place, so chips & dip, along with ice cream and chocolate have been eaten on numerous occasions. Ice cream and chocolate make me sick, so you'd think I'd stop eating them, but nope, I still have them when company brings some over for dessert, then puke afterwards =/ I justify eating it with knowing h that's going to happen, if not I can "burn it if in the gym! " Smh

My hair is still falling out by the chunks. I was thinking about getting it cut to my shoulders (down to my waist). I know hair grows back, but I'm really nervous about parting with it.

I love seeing before and after pics!! It's what motivated me to get my sleeve and what keeps me going!!Sharing my 5 month post op pic with ya'll! First pic is from 12/25/14, 342 lbs. My current pic is from 5/29, my 5 month surgiversary, weighing 250.4. 92 lbs down so far since surgery, and 118 from my highest weight of 368! My goal weight is 170.

Hey everyone!!! How are you all doing so far?! This forum has been very quiet lately! Let's share some progress, tips, or any questions /concerns we may be having!!

Sharing my 5 month post op pic! First pic is from 12/25/14, 342 lbs. My current pic is from 5/29, my 5 month surgiversary, weighing 250.4. 92 lbs down so far since surgery, and 118 from my highest weight of 368! My goal weight is 170.

Sorry I'm late. My starting weight is 250.2 Goal is 240.

I tried on a dress in a 16. And it was too big. They didn't have a 14, so my husband brought me a 12, and it fit!!!!!!! Before surgery, 5 months ago today, I had stopped buying sized clothes when 22 didn't fit me anymore! =)

Your tights are sagging?! Yup! Never thought my tights would get loose on me, but there's extra loose fabric right under my butt and belly. The best part is, they didn't fit before surgery and they're a 1x!

250.7. Missed goal by .7 lbs!! Thanks for the challenge! They keep me motivated! Looking forward to the next one!

Count me in! So far, it looks like I'm not going to make goal by 1.2 lbs. Doubt I'll lose that by the morning =/

240 is my next goal

254.4 today!!

Your skinny jeans are baggy!!!!

@@chellefox, welcome to one-derland!!

258.4! Finally, the scale is moving

@@Catcutie, thank you, and congrats on your weightloss. I know there are many factors that can impede or speed up weightloss...for me, it's losing a person! Losing 170 #s would bring me to 172. Still considered overweight for my height (5'10"). Today, I was talking to my nail tech about this and she said "well, for having had WLS it is a slow loss" ?!?!?! People really do think WLS is a quick fix!! They really believe you will drop 150 lbs overnight!!!!! Ignorance is bliss, after all!!
