New Forum Needed



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

:help:

I know alot of you will not be able to relate to this but everyone's opinion would help. I have requested a new forum on ths site to a moderator and I am still waiting for a response and approval since all the moderators have to approve this.

I asked for a type of forum for the people who have reached goal. Being able to help everyone with what they are going through now is great but the afterwards is just as important. Maintenance is a BIG part of this journey and everyone I am sure can relate to that. How many times have we all lost and then GAINED plus more?

If at all interested, what do you think the name of the Forum should be? I hope you all have ideas and I also hope that the New Forum can be created.

Give me your thoughts! :D

I agree with you 100%! I am ~13 - 23 pounds from Goal and don't know what I will do when I get there.

Please give us a Maintenance thread!

:clap2: Congratulations to all of you who have reached goal :clap2: .

I too think you're entitled to your own forum, maintaining is round 2.

A fantastic thread this would be - it would be very encouraging to at-gaol banders to have a place to hang out in - at the moment many of them seem to drift off for want of their "own place".

For newbies like me it would be great to have a place to find motivation from reading the wisdom of those who have crossed over to that mystical goal-place!

I absolutely thnk that this would be a great idea. I am at the beginning of my journey and am asolutely certain I will lose the weight I need to lose (as I've done oh so many times b efore)....however, the trick is keeping it off, isn't it? I really like this idea.

You can call it - "Maintaining My Way"

or "Maintenace Central"

"Goal and Beyond"

or "So you've reached goal....now what?"

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
