176 this week. Back on track!

When your 18 year old son looks at you wearing skinny jeans and tells you with all sincerity "Mom, you look so fit!"

178 today. Wrong direction! Ugh ????

CW: 177

GW: 170

I'm in too. Spring will help motivate me, sick of being indoors, can't wait to be active outside!

175, didn't make goal but happy that I lost.

175! Finally broke the stall! Yes ????????????

At 179 today. Not happy! Determined not to let the needle swing in the wrong direction. Workout today and feeling positive.

This weekend we had a ton of snow and usually my husband will take the kids sledding. This time I took them and even went down the large hill myself! I was always afraid I wouldn't be able to climb it, but now with the weight loss, I scaled it easily! Best part is I had fun with my kids!

178 up 1 but retaining Water bc of time of month so hopefully will be back down again next week

Hi everyone, I'm in Ocean County and I'm not scheduled until late May for a sleeve gastrotemy. Insurance wants me to have 6 months of nutrition classes first. I have a tentative date of 5/24/16 at Southern Ocean County Hospital. There is just tons of information and books and forums out there and I read a lot of it, and it makes me feel so much better to know how FEW regrets people have had. I'm so happy to read your success stories and looking forward to my own journey.

Hi JMart519. Congrats on your journey and decision to get healthy. I'm an Ocean county resident and was sleeved on 5/21/15 at Atlanticare. I will have my 1 year surgiversary the week you go in for your surgery. To date I've lost 75lbs and feel amazing. The only regret is that I wasn't able to do it sooner! I also had to do 6 months of preop jumping through hoops, but can say that it went fast, because I can't believe here I am now 8 months post op! Best of luck to you!

177.1! Yes, the needle is moving!

Today's weight: 178

Starting weight is 179, goal weight is 168. Thank you!

I'm in too! Thanks for hosting the challenge! My goal for this round is 168. Current weight is 178.

Final weigh in - 178. Didn't make goal but just glad to be losing! Thank you Stephh!

Hi everyone, I'm POD19 from my sleeve surgery. I'm doing pureed now although I still get comfort in my liquids. I'm honestly having a hard time getting my Protein in...and my liquids. Looking for anyone who is willing to be a friend during this process who understands how hard this ish is.

Hi DivineRN, What really helped me were my Premier Protein shakes about 30g of protein per serving really helped me get a good amount in quickly. I also kept a large bottle of Water with a natural protein flavor packet with me all day and sipped as much as I could! Lastly, greek yogurt, cottage cheese and pureed chicken pot pie were go to's. Hope had helps! The scale moving kept me pretty motivated during that time.

178 today. First year I have ever lost weight over Christmas! What a gift!

Today I am 72lbs lighter than I was before my highest weight before surgery. In April of 2015 I weighed 250lbs, SW on 5/21/15 was 231 and today's weight is 178! I still have 28lbs to go until I reach my goal but I'm confident I'll get there! Feeling great is even better than looking great. What a Happy New Year for May sleevers!

Today's weight - 179! I finally broke out of the 180's! Upped my game by starting a more aggressive workout routine and it's paying off!

Congrats on your news!

So still at 180. Thinking I'm going to need to change my goal to 175!

This morning's weigh in: 180.5

181.6! First time I've ever lost weight over thanksgiving weekend!

182 this week, hopefully my month long stall is done! Remaining positive. This week was my 6 month surgiversary!
