@@CelesteMarie sorry it offends but I've lived here since 1980 so it's not a knee jerk perception. But then that's just my experience. Keep in mind I work on the strip so I see that side of it everyday. I know there are some good people here but they are the exception in my experience. @@Christinamo7 thank you and ha I know just what u mean. Buying an 8 or a medium or small is a whole new world. @barryw yeah I agree. I'm still not society's version of tiny I don't even know if I'm considered thick or normal or what. Sad that it even matters.

you're thinking like a fat person. men do not think like that. they are like "woo, titties!" and that's bout it. those are your insecurities peeking thru. it happens to all of us. im 44 and dating a 30 year old so believe me i know what youre sayin' lol.

haha true dat. everytime i go down a size i buy like ONE pair of work slacks and then make due with the other couple sizes up until they are droopy on me. if i put them in the dryer for a long time they tighten up a bit so i can wear a 12 and 10 and 8 right now. the 14s are starting to sag but imma keep them as long as i can lol. congrats!

152.2 - officially down 80lbs. i never in my wildest dreams thought i would be saying this. you just don't understand. im such a lazy person. every time i'm up and doing fasted cardio at 7am it's a shock to me like i can't believe i'm doing it and i can't believe it's me. and when i want to stop before my time or calorie goal. i just don't. i don't know why i don't stop. i just don't. some part of me pushes on. this really is a life changer. i'll post a pic later. xoxo everyone!

I'm so glad I read this cuz I had forgotten about the "just eat the toppings" thing. Thanks for the reminder. I'm starting it today. Bye bye lettuce [emoji13]

we are very similar in goals! i was sleeved just over 7 months ago. down 79lbs. starting weight 232. goal weight 140. current weight 153! great job! keep going

@@Olena808 hi! i was 232 before. im 153 now tho prolly 155 in that after/during pic

@@Ele marie yes you totally can! transformation tuesday again. Here's monster jam 2015 vs 2016. i was like 180 here but it's still a big diff from the 230 i was in the other pic

@@KristenLe haha omg. i lost my ass so hard and i didn't even notice it till it was sagging off me. check it out (and these are "butt lifting jeans" guess if there's nothing to lift there's nothing to lift lol.

@@KristenLe well i already lost my ass. so there's that lol. but im trying to get it back. i still feel big to b honest with you. i don't know when that goes away

@@leahhindi LOL it's so much truer than u could ever imagine. #hatevegas and thank you so much. imma keep going until i feel "right"

@@Tmitch817 gurrrrrlllll i got here and then i got all crazy thinking im still fat gotta go for size 4-6. society is a killer with weight/size issues. it's ingrained in our brains. plus i live in vegas. a town full of whores and douchebags but they all skinny lol.

well first of all your doctor sounds like a jack ass. that being said. you do YOU. i know people who have lost without exercise and at least you're willing to be active in whatever way you can! that's super important! i haven't lost 130lbs but i've lost 80lbs (sleeved 7 months ago). i do run and lift weights but when i first started i was 240lbs and all i could do was walk. do what you can when you can and increase as you can. hopefully you can see someone else for post op visits! we got your back here. xo

@@Ele marie absolutely! and we're always here to support you!

@@Ele marie surgery was 10/2015 @@Steph~L~16 thank you so much! i remember my doctor saying most people don't reach goal - they lose it at 10-15lbs out but i don't agree with that. we're all gonna make it! i see so many hard working people here on this site! love you guys! <3

hahahahahahahaha right??? jeez. people are so insensitive. i've gotten two that pissed me off.. "oh my god!!! i didn't even recognize you! you were pretty fat before but you look really good now" (reallly? a-hole) "oh my god, you're wasting away, you're getting way too thin" (omg. FYOU

so hi ya'll. 6lbs loss last week which is actually a bit alarming. even tho i was very strict with my carbs and sugar during the week. i cheated some on the weekend. worked out 4x last week but not super hard. anyways here's current pic and also do you guys know about rutabaga french fries??? if not. you should lol. so good.

CW 155 SW 232 GW 140 maybe 125 not sure yet 7 months post op

yeah im with @KindaFamiliar. im 7 months out and there are things i simply can't eat anymore such as bread and ice cream and most carbs. and now i just find i make good choices cuz being small and feeling good is more important than eating that piece of bread or whatever. so whatever you choose whether it's vanity or health reasons or whatever make that your motivator to eat right. i don't eat carbs or sugar at all. don't miss it that much either. best of luck!

alright well. im 155 today. great losses this week. i think my eventual goal is gonna be 125. i know that seems drastic. even to me. but i think that's what it'll take to look the way i want to. honestly. i was SUPER good on my carbs, sugar and working out this week. let's get it going for the weekend! have a great week everyone.

oh yeah i hear that shit all the time. i love the "everyone who's had it has either gained the weight back or died" hahaha. it's ridik. i just ignore people. they think it's the easy way out but we know better don't we? there's nothing easy about it. i work out five damn days a week and don't eat sugar or carbs. it's not less than any other "fit" person has to do to lose weight and get in shape. people are dumb. you'll always find supporters too. focus on that. xo

same here. i just eat often. Protein protein protein and fat.

its pretty disappointing that your doctor would say that to be honest. not very supportive. it comes off when it comes off just keep doing the right things. and yes, it is possible but like everyone is saying - this is a marathon not a sprint. best of luck to you!
