  3. So as I am now within 30lbs of my "goal", I'm beginning to think that it may not be enough. When you hit your original scale goal , were you happy? Did it just make you want to drop more weight? Or was it just great to have come so far and you went straight to maintenance mode? Please share with me...I see a lot of people have moved way passed the "goal" they set for themselves.

  8. So i guess the 170's aint so bad......40;s calling my name
  9. So i guess the 170's dont look so bad,,,,,,,but the 40's are calling my name
  10. I think for me i never felt fat. Not even at my highest. I guess some of it is cultural. Being aa, and in the south "THICK" is used to explain away obese. Nobody had a problem with my weight except me. Never called names to my face, hair and makeup is a hobby so I've always been the "pretty for my size" girl. I think now that i look back at pics and really see myself for what i was, i wonder i can i trust what i see if i couldn't see that? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

  12. Thanks i take pics compare and also take measurements.. I've been overweight for my height since forever. Was in the 170s about 4 years ago. But i guess at almost 230 i never really felt that big i always felt like i was a few lbs away from healthy... Lol lies so i guess my issue is i can't trust myself.. My eyes clearly lied to me for years Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
  13. So when i was at my highest , i had weights that i felt like i would be happy with. Now that im hitting those numbers i'm happy the scale is moving but thought i would look different.Anyone else going through this ? I thought 170's would be cool not my goal but i size but before surgery it sounded good. Now i just feel a different kind of fat, still big....who else is finding these lower sizes are as satisfying as you thought

  15. So i joined here before surgery and since have seen so many pics and stories and think how the hell can you live in a body and not see a 20,30,70,100 lb weight change? I am still stalled i lost count of what number stall or how long this one is , but im starting to get the "hey you lost weight , you look great "comments. I look in the mirror and even though i see the scale changing and clothes fit different (same size as before i started) i feel the same amount of fat..and then i did a side by side...hw226,sw212,cw178 surgery 6/1
  16. I just got this bs from a nurse at the er.. After looking at my chart she said "im thinking about having that done, have you lost a bunch of weight already?" When informed her that ive lost 30 lbs she went on and on on how did i get insurance to cover it no way was i big enough to NEED surgery etc. But i got that from nurses at the hospital i got it done at as well....Do i care no! thankfully the few people in my personal life that know have not said diddly about it, they know me well enough to know that their opinion on my body does not matter . They will talk about you if you get healthy, and they will talk about if you gain 100 more lbs.....I hate that this type of surgery has to be explained ....if you had a bad heart nobody will say "well its still beating so you dont need surgery"
  17. i have three now...smh i wont say where... APPLE CIDER VINEGAR PLUS HEAT reduces inflammation and they clear up faster. and yes follow up with a derm
  18. i have thunder thighs and a belly , the belly /waist area is where the clothes fit better... those thighs are just laughing at me ..
  19. So i am happy to announce that i am 2lbs away from loosing 50lbs this year!!!! But how in the hell am i still in the same size clothes at 178 that i was in at 226? Now there is a difference in how they fit ( i can breathe) , but i thought by now i would ease down at least into a tight 12...Oh well i dont care that much as long as the scale keeps moving. Did anyone else stay in the same size for a long time ?
  20. Welcome i just barely made it after a 5 week stall. Congrats
  21. i knew months ahead of time what i wanted to do , i didnt binge eat but kind of just ate what i wanted for a few weeks, when i had my first visit /weigh in i was surprised at my weight...226 highest ever but it gave me some wiggle room during my 3 month visits
