I'm in a 54. I want to get to 34

I'd dance a jig if I could hit 38 :cheers: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well, here I am, stalled out at a size 40. I shouldn't complain (I was at a tight 50), but I've hit my wall. Now that Spring is getting here, maybe I can get some outside time in, and drop some more.

I needed them after my surgery, and have no shame. It was a life altering event, and I tend to over think myself into panic attacks anyway. As an added bonus, I have my attacks while driving (yippee).
Anyway, take care of yourself, and do what you think is right.

Mine was blood pressure meds. I had to cut back on my dosage. Make sure you're staying hydrated, but I'd also bring this up to your Doctor.

I was told only to take Tylenol. Oddly enough, my Migraines have almost gone away since my surgery. Now, my body hurts from exercise. I guess I should have appreciated being 20 when I had the chance - lol.

I would probably shed a tear if I could fit into a pair of 34"s. Realistically, I'd be happy with anything in the 30's.

I loved it. I was able to drop between 60 and 80 pounds (minimum) every time I used it.
The problem was, I would regain between 75 and 90. It worked wonderfully for me in the short term - and honestly, I don't know what long term damages I may have done to my body.

I'll be going the Credit Care route.

@@chunkycharlie You're grown, I'm not going to judge. I quit knowing I'd gain weight (and man did I gain weight). I put on 45 lbs, and quit using a combination of an e-cigarette and nicotine lozenges. The good news is, I've had my surgery, and including my preop diet, I've already lost the 45, I no longer use the e-cigarette or lozenges, and I'm losing weight. For the first time in a long time, I'm getting healthy - and so can you.
It's a hard road, but you can do it. Hey, you have to lose weight anyway, right? Think about this in terms of your life, forget about the surgery for a minute. It sure would suck to drop your weight and try to quit smoking then, right?

Why are you defining your success or failure based on a cupcake? You're human.
You may have a cupcake in the future (gasp). You may, or may not dump. Regardless, you will be fighting a battle to become (or remain) healthy. Don't worry about how to mark the score card, the only way you fail is if you give up.
