Thanks!!! I updated my app and now I have no idea how it works lol @newme17 I would love to challenge ourselves to hit the goal!!

@sweet as peaches I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of ur mom.

Hey everyone! I had my 1 year follow up as well and I’m about 6-8 pounds from the goal set by the dr. I am down about 70 pounds and I feel great! I was told I need to exercise which I HATE doing lol. I hope everyone is doing great!

Hi Everyone!!! Sorry didn’t post yesterday on our 7 month anniversary....was super busy! I am feeling great and am down about 57 pounds which I will take...I’m down to a size 6 in pants and either an extra small or small in shirts a size I never thought I would wear! Here is my before and after pic for this month! Hope everyone is doing fabulous!!

Happy 6 months to everyone! Have my check up with my surgeon today. I am feeling great! I am down 54 pounds and am at 181 currently. I have yet to really get on the exercise wagon even though I have a membership and fabulous workout clothes lol Hope to see everyone’s progress! Here’s is my before surgery pic and pic from today....

Here are my 5 months pics...size 6 jeans down from a size 16/18 and a small shirt down from an XL. Still can’t believe this is me sometimes lol

Happy 5 months everyone!!! I weighed myself today and weighed in at 189.8 so I’ve lost about 46 pounds so far. I am pretty proud of that. I haven’t been as active because I’ve also lost another 220 pounds in the form of a my bf. He apparently can’t handle the new me and is not supportive at all and he was in the process of leaving over the past few days which have been pretty difficult. I will try to post a pic later if I feel up it...

Wanna hear something funny?

After almost two weeks the scale still didn't budge!!!!! LOL I'm seriously LAUGHING about this... but hey, my clothes feel a little looser and I'm at least maintaining. HAHA

Wow I feel your pain...I’m in a stall for about 3 weeks now and don’t know what to do to break it lol. No weight gain or loss.

Soooo I wore a dress today after almost 5 years of just wearing pants!

I also had to cut my hair short this weekend!!! I made peace with letting go of my long hair but it looks healthier and not falling out as much today.

My official weight was 196.4 today so that's down 39.4 in 4 months an average of 10 pounds per month which is not bad. I feel like I've lost tons of inches though I was a size 16-18 in pants and an XL/XXL in shirts at the start of this process and I am into a 10 in pants (which are loose) and Small in shirts so the inches are coming off just now need the scale to catch up! Happy 4 months everyone!

If your urine is dark in color and your peeing less. I think you get tired and light headed also.
I hope you aren't dehydrated. Are you having trouble getting your fluids in?

I drink about 32 ozs of Water maybe 40 a day. I have been extremely tired and thirsty to the point that I can't seem to drink enough but at the same time I can't drink a lot. I don't go to the bathroom often. I haven't felt dizzy though. So I'm not really sure if I need more sleep or what is going on.

Hey guys so how do u know if your dehydrated?

Agreed with Apple....maybe drink some Gatorade or buy the little packets of electrolytes to add to your Water. That should at least help.

Thanks I will try that. Today I'm not as thirsty but am exhausted. I have to try to figure out what's the deal lol

Hey everyone...so for the past 2 days I am sooo thirsty that I can't seem to drink enough Water. I'm drinking more water than normal for me which reduces my food intake has anyone experienced being so thirsty that u can't seem to drink enough water? Is it a sign of something?

Hey Everyone! I have been busy the last few weeks but am still plugging away at this weight loss. I'm down 40 pounds I seem to be averaging about 2 pounds a week which I would say is good. I have had to cave and buy some new work clothes cuz I was literally swimming in my clothes lol I'm officially a size 10 in pants and a small in shirts! I haven't been a 10 in ages! I'm finally feeling better and will start the gym back up tomorrow! Enjoy Labor Day tomorrow everyone!

So stunning! You're so pretty hon. And great progress!

Happy 3 months everyone! I weighed in this morning at 198.4 so I have lost a total of 37 pounds! Wow unbelievable! I have to take a pic but will do that later today! Hope everyone has a great day! I see my surgeon tomorrow also for my post op.

Congrats!!!!! I am so happy for you. Onederland feels great huh?

Omg yes!!! I was jumping in my room my boyfriend thought I was crazy lol

Tomorrow will be 3 months!!! Is everyone going to post photos? I think I will have my dh take a good photo today.

Yes I will post a photo! Hard to believe we will be 3 months post op! I've definitely learned a lot about food and my eating habits. So glad to be on this journey!

Good Morning Everyone!!! So it finally happened! I am under 200 pounds!!! Super excited!!!

I had to chuckle....at least you found the positives throughout this all, your stall breaking. LOL Still hoping the best for you hon. I pray this is over soon too.

lol I have to look on the bright side since I feel kinda crappy! Glad I could give you a chuckle. After a few days of the meds I am feeling better. No gym yet until next week maybe after all this is cleared up! Have a great day everyone.

Thank you before this I think I was sick over a year ago! All those Vitamins I take do help but this time it got me lol

So my visit to urgent care didn't do much and yesterday it was back to the doctor. I have a really bad respiratory infection that has developed into slight asthma as I have such bad tightness in my chest and yesterday was winded going up 3 yes 3 flights of stairs. All this sickness however has helped my stall and I'm 2 pounds from onederland! I have look at the bright side lol hopefully by next week I should be to normal!

I hope you a speedy recovery hon. I'm sorry to hear of it. When I think of being ill I can't remember the last time that happened to me. ??? Kind of weird, cause I was always getting sick, like the queen of being sick. I hope you're able to get past this soon. I'll send some prayers your way hon.

Thank you before this I think I was sick over a year ago! All those Vitamins I take do help but this time it got me lol
