I've been MIA for a bit but I am LOVING reading everyone's updates and progress!!!
I'm 6.5 lbs away from the lowest weight I've ever been as an adult. I think being under 220 is going to make me cry... probably not as much as seeing 199 will, but I'm so excited for these milestones I never imagined possible!

Wednesday weigh in time... I'm at 174lb so 2lbs loss this week x

Sleeved on 1/10/2018. Down 112 so far.

Great job Tyson!

That sucks, I hope you can reel yourself back in. I went on my first business trip last week since the operation. I went to Texas for a week so I ended up eating mostly steak. I ordered the smallest filet cuts on the menu usually, I believe I did ok. Next week will be a challenge, going to the beach with the family. This will truly be a test of temptation.

Morning y’all! I’m sitting at 254 this morning! So that is a starting weight of 370, surgery weight of 340 with a total loss of 116 pounds as of today. To say I am happy is an understatement!

Thanks @Tyson4834. Things have been pretty tough for me lately and I must admit, I fucked up my plan a little over the last week so this was probably the wake up call I was needing.x

I can't believe it, almost a year ago I was 316 pounds. I was nervous, and eating every horrible and unhealthy meal I thought I would never be able to eat again because I knew I was about to change my life on December 14, 2016.
I was sleeved on 12/14/16 and it was truly one of the best life decisions I ever made. It was not easy, from being in and out of the ER due to dehydration in my early stage.. barely being able to eat anything besides liquids/apple sauce for 2 months.. to now being able to eat honestly anything, just with Portion Control. I'm well known on social media, and people always ask me what do I eat, what should they eat, did I get additional surgery etc.. even on here as I try to respond to all messages I tell everyone the same thing: My journey will NOT be yours. We are all different, we are individuals and our bodies are all different. My experience was deff not easy but yes I love my results. If you are questioning getting sleeved, do your research and then say YES. I was so nervous about getting sleeved, I researched for months before I started the process. I'm so glad I turned my life around. I am literally crying as I type this because I am so happy. food no longer controls my life, I do. The best feeling is self love and happiness... I was always confident but now I truly feel happy. 100%. And my journey is not even over yet, it just began.
I will post pics because the few friends I have on here always ask lol! Love you guys. And I love all my sleevers. ️

I’m kind of in the same boat as you. I’ve tried Keto and i do love that you get to eat bacon all day long but it’s not for me. My body doesn’t need all that extra fat and it also loves healthy variety so good carbs like Beans and squash and lots of fruits are fine with me.

i guess you could say i do the meditternean diet to an extent but i don’t like to view it as a diet. I eat what i want but i cook everything anf watch my portions, carbs and added sugars. I eat plenty of lean Protein, fruits, seafood, veggies, almonds, beans, and lower fat dairy like fair life milk and lots of cheeses. I use things like grass fed butter, olive or coconut oil, but in moderation. I even do some meatless days. I love it because it’s not restrictive so i never feel deprived. My body physically feels the best when i do this, i have more energy, no extreme cravings, and it’s something i can stick too. Plus i feel lighter all the way around. I do add supplements like fish oil pills, and mct oil pills but that’s about it other than a multi. Best of luck to you.

What you wrote right there is the key. What can you maintain long term? We all can follow any diet short term, and succeed. But very restrictive diets very rarely work long term.
Diets others are following, don't have any bearing on what will work for you. For example some people can do low carb long term. Maybe because they already have a preference for Protein over carbs? I know for me, it's not something I could stick with . I would feel deprived. I don't want to live my life feeling deprived. For me, I focus on making sure a vast majority of the food I consume is healthy and nutritious. I also allow myself for an occasional splurge, but only a couple of bites, not a meal or a day. That is something I can do long term.

That's freakin' AWESOME!!! Congrats on your success. Just imagine where you'll be at the one year mark. Woot!!

265 for me today, 75 pounds down since surgery. It's been a long time since I've seen that number. I'd say atleast my sophomore year in high school... 17 years ago

That’s awesome to hear @MsTipps! Keep up the good work! I’m going to weigh in late. As of this morning I am at 271. That is a 99 pound loss for me since July 2017 and a 69 pound loss since my surgery on January 10 this year. I am looking forward to enjoying this summer with my family and actually getting out and participating in physical activities.

No full body shots! I can show you in my face, which really changed. The body shots will be 50 pounds from now when I hit onederland ~

Hey All! Wednesday weigh in time for me.... I'm at 195lbs today. 55% of my excess weight gone. Looked back at photos of me from December - I can finally SEE a difference. Feeling good! Hope you're all well xx
