Hello, I totally understand. I never actually got to my ideal weight ( I was about 8 pound away). Now it is more like 28 pounds away. No excuses, I know better. I am still amazed at how quickly I can STILL gain weight! Not really looking forward to the doctors visit. WE CAN DO THIS! We will get it together.Thankfully, my friends and family have not gotten covid 19. It is so surreal how much all of our lives have changed in such a short period of time. I hope that everyone is okay and finding healthy ways to deal with the stress. I noticed myself stress eating. I have not even reached my goal weight yet! Trying very hard to hold myself accountable and log all foods.I have had problems with my groin right side. I was sleeping with a heating pad but when I went for my chiro 1 month follow up, it went away. I do lift weight , walk and jog so I may have thrown myself off. Also my bariatric dr wants me to weigh 155 which has me just missing a normal BMI. They said they e concerned with maintaining my weight loss vs a certain BMI I really want to push for 145 -148. I knots BMI is just a number but I have not had a normal BMI for 20 plus years! In the end, I just need to maintain so I am going through this mental struggle. I figure first I will get to 155 and then just see how I feel. Also still intimidated by maintenance modeSurgery twin.... Glad you are doing so well. 97 pounds is a lot of weight. I am dealing with an upset stomach alit more than would like. Even with that so happy that we are a yea out from surgery vs. just starting the journey. Not quite at goal but it is clearly within reach. sorry about the stall. Hopefully, it willl break on its own.@Everythinganna, @froufrou @AZhikerI completely get it! Such a different word that we are adjusting to. My mindddd has not caught up. People are asking me if I am done losing weight. I want to look around cause in my mind, I am just focused on reaching my goal weight. Aa part of me is terrified about maintenance mode. Seems like I am always gaining or losing. I definitely need to start working on the head work.@FluffyChix, thank you. It was really great to dress up and feel good about it. I even showed my arms!You look great! You look extremely fit and I would never guess that you just lost so much weight. You look as if you have always been that size!@sherribear... way to step up your fashion game! I love that dress and the boots and tights go very well. You have come along way. I remember reading your post complaining about big thighs. What thighs? You look great. Also, if you fit into a medium....nothing is big. Tell you what...let’s see if we can get a group discount on skin removal.@viking that is a transformation. You hAve to be so proud of yourself.We really are surgery twins we have the same surgery date and the same starting weight! I hope the EGD helps. It really is difficult when you are unable to eat . By this time you just want to feel normal. i feel you on the loose skin, I try to suck in my stomach most of the time but doggone it, I have to breathe. I still have about 40 to 45 pounds to lose. I am hoping my stomach goes away with those 45 pounds. Lets take a moment acknowledge the fact that you lost 87 pounds! That is amazing, I looked at some of my original post and I wrote something like if I lose 90 pounds in six months, I will be dancing down the street! Here we are. Did you think you would ever be able to say, I lost 87 pounds in seven months or so? IThat is so true
