1 year bandiversary and 70 pounds gone



Recommended Posts

I am posting two days late! I had my surgery June 15 2012. I started at 215 and as of this morning I weighted 145 pounds and this is the lowest since I was 18 and now I am 33! My goal Is 125, my doctors goal is 140! I am 5 3'. I really wanted to reach 135 one year after my surgery, but well I'm so happy with where I am now! Hopefully I will be able to loose the other 25 pounds by new year or next spring. I been the same weight for the past month and a half! Another hard platue!

To all newbies: take it easy and play it right! I am one of the people who never thought that I would be able to make it to where I am today! It took me almost 8 month to experience what green zone is! I platued so many times and it took me each time more than a month to break it! I had my moments where I cheated and ate food that I wasn't supposed too. I fell in a wagon couple times where I gained 5 pounds, but I never have up and always got back on track quickly! If I made where I am today and of I will make it and loose the remaining 25 pounds, I am sure all of you can make it! Today I am a size 4/6 and 8 is big on me! I am tearing while I am posting this!

Awesome. I am 4 months today and have a total of 60 pounds gone. I gave it away not lost it. Seems as if when I lose something I go back looking for it. Don't want this back so just gave 60 pounds away to anyone who needs it. You are in inspiration to all of us still in the early stages. I have slipped too. Got too hungry last night and overate, but today is a new day. Keep up the good work.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
