This past weekend my wife and I went to the movies. I was so nervous because I reserved the "cuddling" seats. The last time I did that years ago my wife was pressed up in that chair like it was a clown car. I was so big. This time, room to spare and lots of cuddles!

I started measuring myself because the scale will stall and I don't want that to be how I measure success. I started measuring two weeks ago and have lost 9 inches total since then.

All your cute shoes now have a home 😂

You look stunning!!!

Dooooo eeet! We'll support each other! We are gonna do it each week on Mondays and Tuesdays starting after Sunday night dinner at 8pm. And I swear with the cup of Bone Broth and a few spinach leaves floating in it with a tiny bit of mushrooms, it's VERY do-able. Totally took the angst out of things. Was having a TON of nor-epinephrine/adrenaline spikes last night!
I think we will break our fast tonight just cuz this is the first long one. But next week, now we see we can do it, I think we'll try to go to Wednesday morning. And if I see me losing too much, then I won't do it. But right now, that isn't the issue. I'm only at my posted weight today of 142.4lbs.

I agree. The thinner i get the more self conscious i get. I think its because things fall apart at a certain weight... Oh Miami or MX or DR here i come lol

Yes I agree it is only about me at this point. I guess I was in denial as to how large I really was. I am excited moving forward.

I have realized when you are overweight, people find it difficult to tell the difference. For instance, I had my surgery on January 31st and I have lost 40lbs since pre-surgery diet. My father made a comment about how he couldn't tell at all. He can only tell my face looks smaller. So I showed him a before picture and he was like WOW. I have a cousin who made similar comment. I think it has to be drastic for people to notice. But you know what counts? I notice. I can fit into my old clothes. I have clothes in all sizes and it makes me feel better. Stay positive! Take measurements. That helps.

My Chinese coteachers and Chinese students noticed, NOT ONE OF MY 18 Foreign coworkers noticed. I think it may be two things: 1-They are too polite to mention it and/or 2. We are just too self-involved. Can you share a before and after picture. I did a lot of side by side collages and that was the only way I noticed.

Sleeved 1/14, I have lost 31 pounds so far, which I'll take. I currently get in 600-700 calories a day. Usually 50-60 of Protein, so I've just started to again add protein powder to things again. Wish I had thought to take measurements, but my clothes are getting looser. So appreciate all the supportive people on this site. You ROCK!

You feel you should have lost more? When have you ever lost 25lbs in less than 4 weeks? Thats amazing! I was sleeved on the 15th as well and I'm down 21lbs, I'm thrilled! We've got this!

Some days are like that for me too. The day to day can be, well, somewhat depressing at times. Especially if we had a visual in our minds that was unrealistic for our age, BMI or harmonal stage in life.
I depend on support forums because I don’t have a local support group I can attend. I can talk to my nutritionist but it’s not the same as someone who has actually experienced all the same struggles most of us have or are facing.
If you’re able to share I’m sure you will get support here. In the meantime I pray you are having a better day.

Lady Sin there is nothing sinful about that, you're coming right along good, I would say. Keep on keeping on My Friend.

Why are you struggling? Maybe you might want to attend one of the support groups. I find talking with others helpful. If I feel I am at a plateau then I reach out to my dieticians and they give me ideas. I struggle with what to eat. Getting all that Protein in and the Calcium which gives me a stomach ache.
Getting physical is also a challenge because I put weight on in muscles. I hope you get past the struggling and realize it is a step to a new beginning. Good luck.

1/14/19 ...struggling

I'm stalling along but I'm used to it! I'll lose a lot really fast then nothing but inches (which is still great). When I look at the overall, I'm extremely happy. 31lbs gone forever since my surgery!

Woo hoo!! 31 lbs is amazing in ANY time frame! Congratulations 🎉🎈🎊
