How will u maintain....?

i want to loose those last 10 lbs so i can join the century club

to maintain - my NUT and i have to discuss how many calories to take in - i think the magic # will be 1,100 and 1 full cup volume of food - WooHoo :)

i bought a bunch of clothes at Kohl's - 2 new blue jeans, 1 pair of kaaki (msp?) pants -3 blouses, gym outfit, zip up sweater and..............a partridge in a pear tree ;)

btw - i really do look amazing :)

i don't want to go over that number - but i'm sure if i did a couple of times or say, i won't die, nor will i gain 5 lbs

in the past, i could never maintain my weight - up and down on that see saw. no more playing games, i will continue to watch everything i eat, exercise, etc. - continue drinking all my Water

if i do everything right, eating etc. - i'm working my sleeve - the sleeve should be nice and work with me too

i will keep this weight off - i'm determined, theres no reason i shouldn't be successful -

very happy

i want to btle this wonderful feeling up - and just hold on tight to it

i feel like one hot grammy :)

you are doing so great - you've already joined that elite Century Club - keep up the great work

when i was a little baby - i always said to myself "when i grow up i want to be in the Century Club"

i'm not a baby anymore - but baby look at me now :)

WooHoo

Way to go.

I've been reluctantly buying clothes on the clearance rack because I don't want to spend a bunch of money on stuff that's not going to fit me in 6 months.

Also, my wedding ring will not stay on at all, but same thing, I don't want to resize it...only to have to resize it again. You wouldn't think you're fingers would shrink that much.

There is a cheap solution to the ring pblm. Ask your jeweler for a ring guard. It slips onto the bottom of the ring and can be made smaller as needed. Then, when you're done, u can spend the bucks to have the ring resized.

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

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
