ILL DEF GIVE IT A TRY THANKS

Try to keep a positive attitude. 31 pounds in three months is over 10 pounds a month. Take a photo of yourself pre-op and put a photo of yourself now next to it. You should see a difference. Sometimes you lose inches and not weight. Keep positive and stay on track. Everyone's weight loss journey is their own. You will lose weight at your own rate. Don't judge your weight loss against anyone else.

Thank you I just have to be patient and trust the process

Here we go again!I actually feel fine after my surgery, at least well enough to host one of these challenges.

This challenge will run from June 16, 2017 through August 11, 2017. This will give us a total of 9 weigh ins. I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 - 2 day of receiving your weight but I will be recovering from surgery, then working three jobs and taking 3 classes so if it takes me a few extra days I am sorry but I WILL have it updated as soon as possible!! Please note that I will recalculate the figures as soon as I can following the Friday weigh in - so your weight percentages may be a little off...
I have made these Friday weigh ins because that will allow us to start as soon as possible. You may post your weight at anytime during the week if Friday is not your weigh in day!

5/26 - 179.0 !!!!!!! I am out of the 180s. Seems like I was there forever!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!

185

I just had my sleeve done in April. I'm already down to 271lbs and I promised my grandfather that I would get to 250lbs by my birthday (July 21st). After that, I'm going to work towards 200lbs and my main goal is to land somewhere around 189lbs.
What are your goals?

All you can do is pick yourself up, move on and know better next time. If pizza is a trigger for you, don't eat it. I will admit, I still have pizza on occasion. I chose to eat super thin crust woodfire oven pizza and I can't eat more than a slice and a half without the crust on the end. I'm not sure how you got a whole pizza down, unless it was over the course of hours but don't put yourself into the place to be in that situation again.

I seriously just wrote a post almost identical to this a couple weeks ago. I also had no restriction from the carbs and just kept eating like it was nothing. Lesson was learned and I've moved on.

Carbs do NOT fill up the tummy like Protein and you can just eat, and eat, and eat with little problem. In the end, I realize I have to make better choices and plan my meals every single minute to avoid overeating. I'm also 3.5 months out and thought my restriction would help more but it didn't. I thought I was over the binging but I guess I may struggle with that forever. Just don't get too discouraged. I moved on from the day and I've lost 9 lbs since then. Just do better each day, that's all we can do! Good luck to you!

You are not a lone. Whether you ate a whole pizza, or someone else ate a whole piece of cake, two glasses of wine - a lot of us come from a background of overeating and binging, followed by shame. It's okay that you are a work of progress - you are in a transition period. You are trying to change who you are as a person - which is NOT easy. The small size of our stomachs make it a little easier to change, kind of forces us to eat less and less. I'm about a month out and finally getting out of a Huge depression state. I used to find joy and solace in eating. But at the end of the day, it's your mind that makes the decision to eat. If you decide to pick something up and swallow, your stomach doesn't really have a choice. Think about your goals. Make a dream board on Pinterest of healthy bodies, motivational phrases, vsg recipes, at home exercises. Remind yourself of what you want - what you were willing to deal with the insurance company for, the hospital stay for, the possible family and friends that didn't understand your decision. You did it for YOU.

As a side note, a psychologist has really helped me. You can fix a fridge or a car, but you cannot fix a person - a person has to want to fix them self. Stay strong!

How? That's simple. You chose to eat the pizza. You chose to eat piece after piece knowing that every bite was a bad idea, yet doing it anyways.
Totally lost your journey? I don't even know what that means, but drop the melodrama. Wallowing in useless emotion does no good. You made a mistake. Own it. Make a decision now; will you take the surgery seriously from now on or will you let the desire for simple food rule your life at the expense of your health.
The surgery is only a tool. How you choose to use that tool will determine how successful you will be after the honeymoon phase.

My favorite is the Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla!! Love!

187.5
Waste of a week! [emoji31]

@Sleeveforme2017 You only gained .4 of an ounce. I wouldn't call that a gain!! Your body could just be retaining Water. Make sure you are extra hydrated since you are exercising now.

Should I update my goal beings I only have 2.5lbs to go?


M

167.4 [emoji30][emoji47]. I keep sliding. I'll low carb during the day but then get weak and get a slushy from the corner store and been eating banana pudding help! I feel like I'm never gonna get to goal![emoji21]

I'm praying you have a fast recovery and very little pain. Belly buttons are over rated anyways.
