aserena got a reaction from Frustr8 in Need encouragement from slow losers
I too am a slow loser ... I have lost a total of 35 pounds since December 31, 2018... and have not lost not 1 pound all of March or April in fact I keep going from 160 to 165 back and fourth. I Literally watch what I eat I count my calories staying under 900, I limit my carb intake and I hit the gym. Whats even more frustrating is I am surrounded by friends and co workers who have gotten the surgery and they do not work out ...and...they eat all day long...they don't diet.
I have to remember not everyone's journey is the same right, and I guess I have to work hard at it, hard work is not bad, i'm glad I can hear from others though ... my goal is to lose at least 30 more pounds at least...

I have seen your posts so many times and didn't know I had formed an image of what you look like. You were blonde in my minds eye. Just got a chuckle out of that.
You're an inspiration and I appreciate that you've stuck around to help. Congrats, you look amazing (even better as a brunette [emoji23])

When it comes to faces, it does seem like a lot of us go through phases where we look a little sunken and sickly, but it does seem to even out eventually. Age seems to have a lot to do with it. For younger people, the skin and plumpness seem to bounce back eventually in maintenance. For older people, they can end up with some sagging skin in their neck and jowls.
But I will say the same thing about this as I do to the people who fear hair loss and loose skin... no one ever died from it. People die every single day from obesity-related illnesses!

As of today I am 4months post sleeve. I am down a total of 58.6 pounds and 38 inches combined over my body. My highest weight was 247.4 the day of surgery I was 237.4 and today I am 188.8. I started at a size 20 jeans and I'm almost able to fit into a 14. I feel so much better than I did and I have more energy. I'm so thankful I chose to go on this journey because I would have never made it this far trying on my own.
