Hi Everyone,

I just have to share because I'm feeling so good about myself and I'm afraid it might end!! I even thought maybe there's something wrong with me I'm so happy!! Just over the past two to three weeks, it seems as if everyone has started to notice my weight loss. I've never had so much attention in my life and I can't believe the reactions I'm getting from friends, co-workers, and even total strangers!! The best by far was I met my husband for lunch and as I walked in his boss looked me straight in the face and said, "You look like a movie star!" I was flabbergasted and so unbelievably flattered. He had never seen me heavy so I thought this was really interesting. Of course, his next line was what are you doing with him (meaning my incredible husband!!!) You know guys and these guys are in the demolition business so they're pretty rough, but it just made my day!

I'm even more motivated now that these things have been happening and I don't want it to end!! Just had to share this because only people in this forum would understand where I'm coming from. This side effect of losing weight (which I did solely for my health and not appearances) is just the icing on the cake!!!

Have a great week everyone,

Siobhan

:P

That is awesome!!! Wor-what a compliment! I am sure your husband is so proud to introduce you to everyone! I read in your other post that men are holding doors more often. I, too, found that when I was thinner (7 years ago) that I had a lot more doors held open for me. I can't wait to experience some of these NSVs too! You go girl!!!:D

Thank you so much everyone, it's so great hearing everyone's stories of success and knowing the challenges that we face are shared by everyone on this board! I guess that's why I love this web site...

Bella Luna, I've lost approximately 67 pounds, not a heck of a lot compared to some on here but I'm thrilled! It did take me quite a while due to some complications I experienced with my gall bladder and a misdiagnosis. Everything is perfect now and I started losing again in February/March, since then I'm down another 36 pounds. I still have about 32 to go, when I mentioned this to someone, he actually said, don't be crazy you should stay right where you are!!! I know he's wrong but it made my day to hear this!!!

Have a great day, all! :rolleyes:

Good for you. I was at my dr.'s office for a check up one day and she asked me "are you happier". I just sat there for a minute then I said. "Wow, ya, I am. I never thought I was unhappy but I am soooo much happier". I didn't even realize how unhappy I was. It's crazy the differences the band can make in our lives in so many different ways.

Congrats to you and keep up the good work!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
