Congrats on your success!

Well I’m EST so I am off to bed, got work in the morning. Thanks for the chat! 😉

Yes so much more fun being able to shop at the GAP

That’s definitely one for me as well. Being able to shop at non plus size stores is huge for me

Ok good so it’s not just me! Wheww!

Exactly

Sorry for the double replies I’m getting weird errors msg in the app. Not a stable site and very limited

Likewise. Not as easy as people think it is but no regrets

I was sleeved on 1/23/18

Ahhhh gotcha! I didn’t want to assume it was LA Cali

What part of LA are you from? Near New Orleans?

What is the rest diet?? Anyone??

Hi Rob, just a quick hi from NJ! Hope all is well 😁

I know what you mean. It isn’t easy but maybe you can be the positive influence on someone to get them to become more active and have a better healthy lifestyle? Just a thought....

That’s awesome!

Hi Bergen County here as well! I know what you mean it took about 5 months from my 1st visit with the surgeon in August 2017 and I had the sleeve done January 2018. I did it for health reasons and now I go to the gym 4 times a week minimum. Which gym do you go to?

Hi! I’m from Sussex, originally NYC. I’m still pre-op and have my FINAL nutritionist appointment next week. If all goes well w my pulmonary clearance, I could be looking at surgery late April/early May

Good luck! Hope all goes well!!

You are welcome. You really can’t beat it for $10+ a month and most are open 24/5 so they make it easy to workout according to your schedule. Nice showers and lockers. If you chose the Black membership it’s $20+ but you get to use ANY Planet Fitness facility in the country. I just went to Miami last week and used one and I’m off to a Chicago in 2 weeks with Work and found one 1 block from where I will be staying so it’s good for me. And you can bring a guest with you to work out everyday for free, unlimited.

Ha! I was so confused. Doing okay - down 25 pounds so far. I have been struggling to get in my Protein and Water so still held back on the diet. I want to get in more time working out, but can’t decide on a gym or exercise routine. I used to go to the Max, but it is expensive and I don’t feel like I have enough energy on the limited diet to get through that work out. How are you doing since you are a week ahead of me? What kind of exercise do you do?

I joined Planet Fitness which is very inexpensive and they have tons of machines. Right now I’m focused on just cardio anything to get a sweat going. I usually do the treadmill or elliptical machine. Having really done the strength training machines yet but will once I lose more.

Sorry for the confusion but I’m not from Ocean county I’m from Bergen County

Definitely hard work [emoji29]. Where in Jersey are you from

I’m in Bergen County. About 20 minutes or so from the bridge

Hey. Glad to hear. I went down from 360 to 195 in 6 months. I had surgery May 29 and by November I lost all the weight. Gym is definitely necessary. Unfortunately I stopped for 5 months while I took care a few family situations and ended up gaining 25 lbs which have me upset but I know why. Now I’m getting back into that gym and since it’s warming up I can take my bicycle out.

WOW you lost a lot of weight very quickly! Sorry to hear you experienced family issues but it’s part of life and we have to roll with it. It definitely proves that the surgery isn’t some magic thing and that we still have to work at it. I hate when people think or say that it’s a cop out to just doing diet and exercising. If I could have done it without the surgery I would have. God knows how many times I’ve lost weight and just gained it all back. We still need to do our part. Hopefully the weather will change and you can get back into your exercise routine. I don’t know if I can take anymore of this snow [emoji301]️ UGH!
