I found the exercise and weight loss challenges on this website helps keep me on track.
Welcome back!!! ????

Good for you! I'm glad to hear you're going to track again. I've found it very helpful.
Only 67 days until Spring!

I am six months out from surgery and here are a couple pics!   
Feeling pretty good! Being festive!

I am doing good with my weight and exercise but have gotten away from tracking on MFP and coming on here! So today I am back and being accountable to you guys and most importantly myself! Hope everyone is having a great start to the new year! ????

Let me guess. You're eating either bread, Pasta, crackers, Cookies, processed foods or sugar. Or all of the above.
You know how I know? Those things cause cravings and hunger, and never satisfy.
I went through this a few weeks at Christmas time. I was RAVAGED with hunger, and no matter how hard I tried to resist, I would cave and eat the crap again. Luckily, I didn't gain because I kept excersising, but I had to break the cycle.
I decided January 1st to detox. Lots of Water, Protein and veggies with every meal (aside from a Protein shake for breakfast). NO sugar or processed food.
I'm on day 4, and not only have I lost a pound (I'm in maintenence), my cravings and hunger are gone and my restriction is even better. Once I got over the hump the first day or so, it was smooth sailing from there. I feel great.
Give it a try! Good luck!

I won't watch that peice of crap show since the doctor on the show berated weight loss surgery and said the way they lose weight on the show is the "right" way.
I wasn't aware that excersising 8 hours a day was the "right" way to lose weight! Gee, why did I even have surgery?!

You guys all look great!
I'm down 95 lbs in 5 months and feel amazing!

7 months from surgery

I found some photos from July 2014 and I'm mortified. I can't believe that was me. But that's the old me and I'm not going to dwell on it!
-90 pounds and still chugging along!

Congratulations to all on your weight loss. This is the best Christmas gift to give ourselves.
I had surgery on 5/29/15

My brother and I ❤️

Those are before..

And then, today....
  
I was sleeved in February. I went from 272 to now.. 172

First pic from late 2014 with me at 388lbs, and me last weekend and 6 months out....... @ 267lbs and going!!!! 

8 months post op!  

Let's see if I can get this to work. I started off at 316 (top Hawaii picture). On April 1st had the surgery and now down to 225. I'm so pumped up. I was in a wheel chair about 12 years ago and learned how to walk like a baby. So to be able to get up and out, and to get back down to my military or detective weight is awesome.

5 months out and I've lost 75 lb.

I'm 5 months out and down 88 pounds!

I am six months out from surgery and here are a couple pics!

I hit my goal for the challenge! At 134.6 again!

Just tried on clothes from my brothers wedding in 2008 and they fit with room to move! I was at my smallest ever at his wedding! Very excited to have them fit me! Now I need somewhere to wear them!
