    August Sleevers-How are you doing??

    Hi. I have not been on in a while. But all of a sudden I’m losing weight again. I feel great. Down 75 pounds and people are like- ‘stop losing’. You look so thin’. How nice is that. But most importantly I feel great. Like I’m light. I run around with so much energy. My hair is getting back it’s thickness and luster as well. I just wish this weather would get to spring already so I can walk. I hope others doing well too! HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    Weed, Marijuana, Pot

    I know that smoking causes slower healing...so you might want to wait until healed. I’m not into that so that’s just a very lame answer from what I do know about smoking in general. I would imagine edibles only matter in the food ingredients - sugar, flour, chocolate- not good for a new tummy. HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    August Sleevers-How are you doing??

    Hi. I just got the OK from my podiatrist that I can finally do cardio again! I had a bunionectomy 2 mos ago. So even though I wasn’t exercising like before ( Barre with modifications) I still lost 8 pounds during my foot recovery. So I’ve lost 66 pounds since late August. If I hadn’t had sleeve I probably would have gained 20 pounds during my foot recovery! I can’t wait to get back to spin and walking miles. Hopefully now weight will come off faster and I won’t have bunion pain while exercising! HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    August Sleevers-How are you doing??

    I’m having a hard time staying on track and healthy. I had surgery aug 21. Then my bunion removed dec 22. So it’s been 6 weeks since my foot surgery. I still can’t walk for exercise. I do barre a few times a week with modifications but it’s not like the cardio I was doing before- spin and long walks especially. I’m teetering between 224 and 225 which is about a 65 pound loss. Needing a little support while my foot heals from my August peeps. I’m going to Florida February break and reAlly hoping I can walk more than a block. HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

  13. My kids same age. At first I hid it. Then started talking about my surgery right before I had it so there would be no nervousness for them. They laugh at me now saying I could never had hid it anyway cuz of my new bitty little food intake. All good. Now at 5 mos they don’t even think about it and they are happy for my weight loss.

  14. Diet direct has tons of healthy protein items that taste great from chiplike stuff to nutty things. They have great wafer bars that I love. My fave is the shortcake bar. Good luck. You got this HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    August Sleevers-How are you doing??

    Hair loss seems to be slowing down finally. I had a bunionectomy 6 weeks ago. So nervous I’d gain weight cuz no cardio. BUT I LOST 7 pounds. Woohoo. Down 64 pounds since end of August! I’m in designer jeans from years ago - Sz 32. And even bought a skinny pair-Hudson! Hoping I can get back to spinning soon- see foot dr today. Wish me luck[emoji1317] HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    Got Bad News

    Good luck to you! And thank you - you are a hero. I can tell you that I always had a hard time losing weight. Been dieting since I was 10 yrs old. But... my little tummy has made dieting so much easier. Some days I eat more than others for whatever reason but it’s much much less than I was pre surgery. Other days I’m not that hungry and I’m quite good with my food choices. I’ve lost 64 since aug 22. You can do it. Don’t worry about your doctor. They don’t understand how it feels to be us. I have found that hot water and lemon helps with water retention as well as pure cranberry concentrate mixed with water- from whole foods. Good luck! HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8
  18. Ya. I got bored of this site. Had a bunionectomy 6 weeks ago and I’ve been on a Facebook group about that- it’s been way more fun looking at people’s Frankenstein feet! Just came back to say hi. I’m 64 pounds down. Thought I would Gain cuz of surgery and no cardio - but I have been doing barre class with modifications for broken foot AND I LOST 7 pounds since surgery. Ps. My fave all time drama post here was when someone got upset about typos and basically calling people stupid. That was cra cra. HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    Favorite Recipes!

    I make chicken burgers. I add egg spices garlic, cream of wheat or oatmeal to bind. Then mix in raw finely chopped onion and other veggies like mushrooms and zucchini. Broil or use panini to cook. Delish. HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    What's for lunch today?

    I’ve had the same lunch every day this week. I take ground turkey and add garlic, egg, a little cream of wheat or oatmeal ( to bind), Greek spices, salt and pepper. I mix it together. Then add finely chopped mushrooms, onion, yellow/green zucchini. I make 4 oz patties - which include the veggies. Then I broil in both sides. I eat cold or warm. I add a little ketchup and mustard, a few butter pickles and diced tomatoes. I had one for dinner tonight too! They freeze well. And they are solid enough to fill my pouch and moist enough to not gag. HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    I think I really screwed up! *sob*

    Is there a planned parenthood you can go to by public transportation? I’m sure they would do a pregnancy test for free because of your age and financial situation. Good luck to you. Everything will work out for the best even if at this moment in time it feels like life sucks. HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    Able to eat more than I should

    Some days I can eat a lot at one sitting. Like this morning after working out ( had a protein shake beforehand) I ate a whole egg white spinach wrap from Starbucks. Normally I can eat 1/2 and just the inside but o was starving today. Yesterday was the opposite. I could barely eat 2 baked falafel and lettuce from sweetgreen’s for lunch. Then I had 4 rice crackers with peanut butter and that was it for dinner. I had a protein bar mid day. So sometimes I feel like I didn’t even have surgery. Other days I get so ful so quickly and can’t believe others are still eating. I’ve lost a little over 60 since aug 22 2017. HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8

    New long eyelashes

    Is it safe to take a double dose. My eyelashes might grow down to my nose, but maybe my hair will be better! HW. 289 SW. 284 Height. 5’8
