For yesterday, I'm proud that I hit my goal weight last month. I really didn't think that I could get that low when I set it, it was more of a fantasy number. I now weigh less than I ever have as an adult,
I don't really journal, putting words to paper is a nightmare for me. However, I kept my food journals during this process in pretty notebooks and added notes about dr. appointments or significant issues as I went along. So they are the "journal" of my weight-loss journey.

CHAAAALLLLENGE!

CHAAAALLLLENGE!

Starting weight: 180
Goal weight: 175
Status: Post-op, sleeved 7/11/18
I get 10,000 steps a day, lift twice a week for an hour each, and do HIIT twice a week. I feel strong and I want to feel even stronger.

Haha!! Was just reading through the list. How many of us are going to be doing #6? 😂😂😂
I art journal and I’ve been away from it for a very long time. I recently started it back up as a way to distract myself when the nighttime snacking monster rears it’s ugly head. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy it and how much I NEED some time just for me.

Surgery: VSG (just a little over 5 months post op, still losing...)
Starting weight: 146.4
Goals: Get to 135 lbs (which would mean a 100 lbs loss for me since October!) && increase strength training time/amount. Right now I do maybe 20-30 mins twice a week, I want to do more.
#1 Something I'm proud of today: I am getting so much better at remembering the steps in Zumba. I didn't feel as stupid as I normally do this morning at class.

I had my Surgery last May took 8 Months to lose 80 lbs never had one issue 💁‍♀️

Had a 2 night hospital stay for hydration purposes. Couldn't take anything in. Once I was released felt fine. I live on a steep hill, walked up the hill on day 4. ( I did have to stop a couple of times!) I can now walk up my hill at a fast pace. Goal now is to run up my hill. I love trying new exercises and just getting out there. WLS, best decision I ever made:-)

Goal-met! No Migraines or illness in the month of March
End weigh-174 (lost 7 lbs) missed my weight loss goal by one pound🤷🏼‍♀️

Sounds like everyone is doing well for the most part! We are all on our own journeys and its hard not to compare. I will be 6 months post op on April 16. Hard to believe! I haven't had blood work done yet but will for my next apt so I don't know what those numbers will say, however, what I can say is I have lost almost 70 pounds, 53 since surgery, and I have lost a lot of inches.
My hair started to fall out about a month ago and I added the Biotin, which I think is starting to help. I've been at the same weight for the past two months. It's frustrating but I did weigh myself this morning and lost about 3 pounds so I am happy to have left the 220's behind! My old, small clothes, fit me again, which I am thrilled about!
My husband and I recently went to Mexico to an all-inclusive resort and I was proud of how I was able to not overindulge like I would have in the past. I did indulge a little but I came home the same weight that I left! I saw a picture of myself and couldn't believe it was me!
I've had really bad back/hip pain for the past few months which has really stopped me from exercising the way I need to. I am still exercising, just not enough to make the weight come off. I think my body is just getting used to this new way of living. I am going for acupuncture tomorrow, and I am really hoping it will help with the pain!
Everyone keep up the good work! Slow and steady wins the race!

Walking far and not caring. Wearing a bikini at the beach (with high waisted shorts) and feeling perfectly comfortable 💗

omg i'm so looking forward to putting on a wetsuit and not having to choose from the men's selection because none of the womens' sizes fit me before.

Starting weight 153 Goal weight 148 ( Trying for 5 lb increments.) Status- post op, sleeve Something I'm proud of: Started jogging\running. Would like to participate. In a run/walk this summer. Doing my squats and crunches now, feeling good! Bring it on!!

I’ll officially be 8 months out tomorrow and I feel great. From the day of my surgery to today I’ve had no complications. I didn’t use my pain meds. I still have the unopened bottle. I’ve exceeded the goals I original set for myself and the goals my doctor set for me. I’ve had no hair lose, actually my hair is the healthiest it has been in a long time. And my skin is snapping back wonderfully. (Thank God)

Of course I’ve had plateaus in my weight but I’ve learned what these plateaus are telling me about my body and what I need to work on. My weight has been decreasing consistently.

I’ve officially lost 80lbs. 11 more will take me into ONEderland.

So I found a Protein Drink that I really like and I'm thinning it out with low fat fair life milk and that's making me feel a lot better. I also today found this little squeeze bottle of calorie free flavor that I LOVE. I actually have to make myself slow down lol!!! Feeling better now!

I have 23 lbs to goal weight. My procedure was done on Oct 29 starting weight 217 highest weight was 227. I've loss 50 lbs. My current weight is 168. I had a stall for a little over a month. I finally loss 5 lbs at the end of March. I haven't loss any hair. Just normal shedding. I started taking collagen peptides and Biotin drops at 3 months out. Thanks to someone in the group for posting.

You all. We all are doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work.
