    vgraves13 got a reaction from allwet in Non Scale Victories   
    I fit into jean I haven’t worn in over two and a half years and some of them now fit too big. I am an avid Disneyland goer and I can last longer at the parks and get in and out of the rides super easy. I went down a shoe size. I can run 50 mins on the elliptical. Save money whenever we go out to eat.

    I love Kohls. I love that they offer no hassle returns, awesome discounts and Kohl's Cash. I always feel like I get out of there for a fair price.
    I don't have any issue with taking things back that don't work out......But there is no way I'd take something back to a store that I'd worn (other than trying it on). If you wear it...it's yours. Hell, I think if you take the tags off, it's yours. If you wash it, it's most certainly yours.
    Just cause you can....doesn't mean you should.
    If a store plays fair, customers should, too.

    I’m officially six months post op (RNY 11/7/17) and couldn’t be happier with my decision to have weight loss surgery. It’s been an uphill battle with finding new meals and keeping up with diet and exercise but this new tool that I’ve been blessed with has made it a lot easier and I’m confident that I will go on to reach my goals.

    And that's how he wants you to feel. Like you can't do any better. You can! Don't settle for someone who's not happy about the positive steps you're taking with your life!

    vgraves13 got a reaction from TakingABreak in In what way have you changed?   
    It has only been a little over 3 months since my surgery, but I feel I have changed a lot. I look forward to life in general a lot more. I don’t get bothered by things so easily. I am more playful with my husband and daughter. I enjoy looking for clothes instead of just dressing “comfortable”. I feel excited to travel in the future and for the first time have long term goals instead of surviving day by day.

    vgraves13 reacted to Creekimp13 in Fried Chicken   
    The biggest issue with fried chicken is that it has a crazy amount of calories. Often has too much salt and is a gateway food to biscuits/slaw/other high calorie foods that are not gonna work unless you eat a microscopic amount of them.
    Will it kill ya once in a while if you eat 200-300 calories worth and measure it out? Nah...
    But it's not a great choice.
    (that said...I'm stupid and once in a blue moon will stop at KFC. I get the following: )
    130 calories Original recipe drumstick 12 g Protien
    120 calories Mashed potatoes and gravy 3g Protein
    25 calories Green Beans 1g Protein
    For 275 calories and 16 grams of protein.......I can get the fried chicken demon out of my system without crashing my diet.
    I don't cook it at home...cause then there would be fried chicken in my fridge and my fridge would become the portal to hell. LOL:)

    I started at 326 and was on my pre-op diet for one week. Day of surgery I was 316 on Feb 28. As of today I am 255lbs. After my one month check up I became a steady gym goer, but last week I became a bit lazy. Very excited to go back and push myself and hopefully hit 100 lbs down in the next month. I can definitely feel and see the difference

    I was 332 when I started the preop diet. I’m 4 mons post op, and I’ve lost over 90lbs. The challenges are that it takes awhile for you to really see a difference. I was nearly 80lbs before I started getting compliments. My stomach is holding on for dear life. My legs, arms, and chest went right away.
