I Am Now Officially "overweight!"



Recommended Posts

I hate that word -- "Obese." It's hung on me with extra identifiers like "Super-morbidly"

The closer I get to goal, the slower the weight loss, but it's still going down. The inches are too. I just moved solidly into 10s and can wear some 8s. I am now smaller than my very fit husband who wears a 32. I started out as a tight size 22W

I should look at some before pics, but they are hard to find since I used to duck out of photos.

How awesome for you! I too have always hated that word and especially since some people in my family pronounce it as O- Beast which makes it sound worse even before we add on morbidly or super morbidly. Definitely check out the pics of the old you and note the changes for motivation to keep it moving... Maybe even post them. Keep up the good work:)

Overweight and happy here! & I think I want to remain this way for a while. Is that crazy? Lol! That BMI chart is brutal. I don't think I would look healthy at a 25 BMI.

I'm 8 months out. I am very short so it's only 25 or so pounds to go to hit "normal" weight.

My surgeon set 110 as my goal. I set it 130 which is a respectable 24 BMI. I asked him if he really expects me to wear a size 14 in children's clothing rather than a size 4.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
