Hello all its been awhile. Hope everyone is doing well. This month will be month seven. Since I started my journey last June I am now down 120 pounds. Feeling well still  . I've before pic and current pic. Hope everyone is doing well.

Doing alright over here. Was sleeved March 2nd. I'm down 45 pounds. Losing slowly, hair falling out, no energy and still mourning food. But hey, I'm 45 pounds lighter so I will take it!

-42lbs so far, I'm super proud of myself!!!

Just think you are carrying around 30 less pounds! When you lift that much now, you will think how did i do that? It IS easier to move!

Mine stuck for about two weeks but i lost inches in that time.
This morning I hit ONEderland!

@@throckmorton, I do not drink carbonated alcoholic beverages, but I do consume mixed drinks. If I am out with my husband and friends, I will order vodka and Water and add the squirt flavored drink mixes. Taste great, saves on calories and makes for a good time !

I posted this on another person's thread:
Get rid of the bad food. Get rid of it. Get rid of it. Get rid of it. You already know that if it is around, you will eat it. Find your will power, find all the determination that you have from within and refrain from ordering or purchasing foods you know you should not be eating. If you mess up and give in, then recognize your error and start again. Start small. Replace one bad habit with a good one, one at a time. I did not become a clean eater over night. It took a lot of "falling down" and "getting back up" before I got it right. I do have my cheats, but they are few and far between--and DO NOT start having "cheats" until you think you can control yourself. Now that I have maintained a clean eating life style, I rarely crave "bad" foods, and--more often than not--they make me sick. However, when I do eat unclean, I limit myself and do not over indulge or consume large quantities, and I make up the extra calorie intake with a longer duration of exercise or I limit my food intake during another meal.
If you have not taken up a weekly exercise regimen, you should. Exercise should not be seen as a fix or something to do until you meet your goal; it should be viewed as a lifetime, ongoing activity to maintain a healthy way of living. To help motivate myself, I perceive exercising as a job. Most need a job to make a living. Exercise is same thing. We need to exercise to maintain our bodies and to live long, healthy lives. Perceive it as: I have to do it. I have no choice. Tired or not, it must be done. Start at doing anything that is accessible to you, interesting to you, or easiest for you. Start at YOUR pace and just GO!

I was sleeved on March 2nd. I'm only down about 20 pounds. 16 of that came off the first 2 weeks. As soon as my diet progressed my weight loss slowed way down. Sucks to be so hungry and eat so little and not lose much weight.

Only three days to go! This weekend, my diet is all liquids, no more Optifast bars. Surgery is Monday at 7:00am.
Time to pull together my hospital bag!
