"Your husband must be so happy now!". Really?! Because our relationship must have been completely based on looks and at 100 lbs heavier I must have somehow been a disappointment to him? I'm not sure how people realizes this sounds, but to me it implies that I went through surgery only for my husband's personal happiness and not my own!!

I had to buy new belts because my old ones got too big!

Greek yogurt with berries for breakfast, beef barley Soup and a cheese string for lunch, 2 Premier Protein shakes (1 for dinner, 1 post workout). Unfortunately I also caved and had 2 brownies at work. Made a resolution to recommit to tracking ALL my food (good or bad). Hoping it helps me rethink caving to cravings. I've been getting lax on the carbs ????

My weight this morning is 174.0 lbs. goal weight 165.0. Thanks!

I'm in. I will post my start weight Monday. My goal is 165 lbs!

Holding steady at 174.9. Probably the first year I haven't gained over Christmas!

I was sleeved 6/25/15. These are my first before and afters! I have lost 105 lbs, down from a size 20-22W to a 10 in 6 months. Working out 5 days/week and I have adjusted my goal to try and lose 13 more lbs for a goal of 160 lbs!

Really though, you should go low carb, low flavor, low fat, low calorie.........

I hear ya on the pet peeves.
Weight loss is a frequent topic in my daily conversations, folks see a change occurring and most are supportive and well wishing.....but some are like freaking Rain Main and hung up on metrics. "So, man, what's the number now? What's the scale read? Whatcha weighing these days?". Makes me want to break out into a Mountain Troll skit and say loudly, "I've lost a Hobbit that was riding on my back........now I'm gonna eat your donkey.......grrrrr nom nom nom ggrrgggg."
We post the numbers here, yeah, sure.......but in daily life it just gets under my skin for some reason.
I appreciate their interest......but damnitman.....leave the numbers out of it.
I think I'll just start making up silly numbers for them. "Yup....I've lost 7 pounds so far." "Yup......I've lost 2,200 pounds so far" Or................"about a 1/2 a medium rock".
Freaking Rain Man is everywhere !!!!!
Makes me want to go have a Protein shake and eat a hardboiled egg......and go fart on them afterwards.

I had the same thing. I was always rationalizing that the pants I picked out must have been a "really big" 16, 14 etc. now that I'm consistently down to a size 12, I still catch myself thinking that when I fit into a 10!

I had gastric sleeve in June, and at that time set my goal weight for 175lbs (I weighed 278 at the time with a BMI of 41--female 5'9.5"). Now I'm hovering between 173 and 175. Although my BMI is still technically overweight (25.5) the comments have already started that I might be getting too thin. I think once people get used to seeing you a certain size they have a hard time seeing you as a normal size person. Personally, I would like to lose 15 lbs for a goal of 160. I'm going to do what's best for me. Peanut gallery be damned!
