    Hi there,

    I have all notifications turned off as I don't enjoy being flooded with email notifications every time someone posts something. All of a sudden I am getting swamped with them even though I checked my settings and they are still turned off.....

    ??

    Please fix as soon as you can.

    Thanks

    Heather

    Hi everyone!

    It's me Heather! hahaha sorry I haven't been around much but life sure get's busy and time flies by!

    Question 1:

    How do I stop all of the notifications coming to my email? I have tried and tried and tried and no matter what, they come anyways. (when someone posts a new topic, when someone replies to a topic, etc etc)

    --- I just don't need (or want) a bazillion BP emails a day.

    Question 2:

    How do I manage my weight progress through my phone? Anytime I want to update stuff like that - I can't for the life of me figure it out with my mobile app! Is there is such a way? It's annoying because I only use my computer at work and it is very outdated (boss wont allow updates grrr hahaha)

    So thank you in advance if you can help this gal out!

    I know this is from July 2015, but I still have to post....

    Alex you're a true inspiration and a huge motivator!

    To think that 13 years and 4 months later, you're still kickin' a*s, still at goal, (or wherever) still happy and healthy, etc etc etc... it's just so amazing!

    I hope to be still at (or in my current state, under) my original goal 13 years from now! And forever!

    Thank you for starting this incredible support site and keep being your awesome slim healthy self!

    You look good!!! Did you do alot of weight for your arms because they look good

    I have been lately, yeah. I was really worried that I'd have loose skin (aka bat wings) so I've been concentrating on upper body lifting and I'm quite pleased with the results. I do have some damage, don't get me wrong, (especially when I bend over, you can see the loose wrinkly skin a bit) but overall I'm happy and proud of what I've accomplished :)

    Thank you for the nice compliment!

    I am going to continue on working on toning up more and maybe even lose a few more pounds :)

    I think the hard part now is maintaining! Eeekkkk! LOL

    Thanks for sharing, I'm scheduled for my sleeve on 11/17 (fingers crossed) and one of my worries was the excess skin many have spoken about apart from other things people have spoken about online, like the strain on relationships afterwords. Some of the surgeons on realself.com stated that excess skin was inevitable and I don't forsee being able to afford a body lift. I am 235 lbs and hopefully with hard work and exercise it won't be too bad. I think the pros of a potentially healthier life outweigh the negatives... Thanks again.

    1 year

    1 month

    10 days

    And I hit my goal!

    Sept 21/15 - Oct 31/16

    Lots of hard work.

    Many sacrifices.

    Lots of self talk.

    Much dedication and self motivation.

    But it was all worth it!

    The time flew by and I can't believe I am where I am just 13 short months after my Gastric Bypass surgery.

    I saved my own life and will thank myself everyday.

    I wasted too much of my precious life and now I'm gonna make up for it!

    Turning 41 in a couple days and I've never felt better, happier, healthier and of course lighter!!!

    Thanks for all that have traveled along this journey with me!

    And get my weight down. Punkin, been there, done that. I'm 3.5 years out and maintaining like a champ. But thanks for the advice!

    Oh thank you! I'm very happy that my arms came out on the "other side" quite nicely. Whew! But I do weights so maybe that's why my arms came out ok..?

    You never know, they might turn around for ya and surprise ya ;)

    Take care and good luck on this journey to the new you!

    Heather

    You look great! Especially your arms. My arms aren't fairing as well but I'm older and not planning on showing off arms anytime soon. My niece just told me I need to shop for smaller clothes (my smaller clothes are now too big).

    You look wonderful. Such an inspiration. My surgery was 1 week ago.

    Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Thank you :D

    Your week will turn into a month and then 6 months then all of a sudden you'll be celebrating a year too!

    Seriously, it goes that fast!

    Enjoy the ride because it'll go fast and then the real hard work begins... (maintenance)

    IMO anyways.

    I'm 2.8 lbs from goal, but by dear golly it has been harder to stay at this weight (and to lose the last few!) Then it was to lose the first 120!
