Amazing!! Is that the same sweater?! I know it can’t be as you have lost a whole person and are so much healthier I can imagine! I have stalled as well after losing 98 pounds (I now weigh 153) but I do exercise vigorously 3-5 times a week along with trying to eat only 3 meals a day of mostly Protein. I’m hoping switching up my workouts to less weight classes abs more cardio will help me over this hump but haven’t lost weight in 3 months. Maybe if you switched up workouts this would help. Keep it up cuz you have had amazing results girlie!

Ha ha! It the same sweater in a medium instead of a 2X 😂. It was always my favorite and I had to get another one!!

Thank you for the advice - I think I do need to change up my exercise routine. I do the same thing every time.

great job on your weight loss as well!!

Do you exercise or are you strictly watching your intake? You look fantastic!!

Thank you! I go to the gym 3 times a week. Focusing mainly on weight training and the rowing machine. I jog on my mini trampoline at home. Watching my intake, no Pasta, rice, bread, potatoes. Lots of Protein veggies and fruit. I love nut butter and dark chocolate...probably need to watch that 😬 maybe break my stall!

Hello all! We are approaching our one year surgiversary. How is everybody doing?

I’m down 140 lbs and have about 40 lbs to go til I hit my doctor’s goal. My one year post op will be March 14 and I’m excited to see the official weigh in. To help with the last bit of weight I’m starting a plan with a weight loss doctor. She’s not a surgeon, but can help with nutrition and monitoring vitals (blood pressure, Vitamin deficiencies, heart health, etc.). I last saw my surgeon at 6 months and will now be going in only for annual visits. I need a little bit more accountability on a monthly basis, so I think this will be a great way to help me finish and make sure I’m healthy as well.

Is anybody already at goal?

March 12 will be my 1 year. I’m down 85 pounds and would like to lose another 10 - 15. Have only lost 5 in the last 3 months, definitely in a stall period 😝My coworker sent me a picture last week from right before my surgery and I was shocked to see how far I have come though!! Glad everyone is doing well and I love to read about everyone’s progress. Keep up the great work!!

I’m doing really well! Down 83 lbs. My Dr told me at my 6 month appointment that I’ve lost 2/3rds of my excess body weight. I’ve not incorporated any Pasta, potatoes, bread, flour or added sugars back into my diet. Sticking with high Protein diet, meat, veggies, fruit & dairy. I’ve stayed Decaf but coffee & dark chocolate (85% cocoa) are my comfort foods! 🙂 I go to the gym 3 times a week before work to do strength training and the rowing machine/treadmill. I’m dealing with Hair loss too although it seems to be slowing down. I’m hopeful its done shedding ~ I had very thin hair to begin with.

I’m 5”8, pre-op weight was 252. Current weight 223 (surgery 4/12/18). My goal weight is 152 - 100 lbs 🙂

March 12 is my surgery date! Starting liquid diet in the morning.
