2/13/12- I feel like a new person! Once the landslide loss slowed up I got a little discouraged and goofing around a little, but I think I'm back on track. I'm still losing slowly, but steadily. Exercising 5 days a week. Down 92 lbs. I was hoping for 60 by October, so I can't complain one bit! Now I'm hoping for 100 by my birthday ;)

Today it has been exactly 9 months. Everyone is telling me to stop losing. I weigh exactly 190lbs on the dot. My goal is 180 by the new years. Its possible but I really need to drink more water. Since surgery I can only get in an average of 32 ozs /day. My calories vary. If I stay on point its 600/day and I am full. If I stray the max is 1200 and thats with carbs. I fill up entirely to easy. Especially with dense meats. I luv me some taco salads.

Tomorrow will be exactly 9 months. Today I weigh 145 lbs, my goal is 130 lbs. The weight loss has really slowed, I may need to up my workouts. I eat any where from 700 to 1100 calories a day. I have done very well with getting in all my protein, but have lacked on water intake. I would like to be at my goal weight on my one year anniversary, so 3 months and 15 lbs to go. Wish me luck!

How are the Feb 2012 sleevers doing now at 10 months out? I have been in a major stall, but I can't exercise because of an unrelated issue. One of the reasons I got the surgery was because I couldn't really exercise anymore and was gaining weight so fast so I knew I would be a slow loser. I haven't gained so I am happy for now. I am a size 12 to 14 depending on the brand and in large tops. This is down from tight 22 and XXXL shirts. Going to try to get more active so I can at least get to onederland by the end of the year. I wanted to be at goal by my one year, but not sure that will happen.

I'm down about 75lbs since February 22nd. From size 22 into 12/14 like you said. And thank goodness I'm seeing it in the clothing size, cause the scale is just not moving and hasn't for a few months... about the same time I started exercising regularly. I bounce up and down a couple of pounds at 205. I just want to see 199! Need to up my water and watch the emotional/habitual eating.

Here is my before and after. Not done yet.

LOVE that dress Angela. You look great!

Down 100 lbs. Size 3 and 4X- down, so far, to 18W comfortably, but a 16W can button and zip and XL tops. I'd like to lose 90 more, but if I lost 50 more and never another pound, i'd probably be very content. But I want the 90! ;) i'm at 249 and i'd like to see 160. It IS getting harder and harder. I can eat way too much when I want to. I wanted Capt. D's problem!!

I am shooting for 160 also. My doctor's goal is 170 so I split the difference on my ticker and put 165. I am a little over 5'5''. I have the same problem, I can overeat so easily now. It can be frustrating. I have been really tracking everything I eat lately so I can get down below 200 by year end.

How many calories are you eating now? I try to stick to around 1000, but fluctuate some.

Surg was 2-6-12. down about 57, still wanting to lose 15-20 more since I'm so dang short 5'0"! I have been very happy with the surgery. I still eat what I want just WAY smaller portions, and I have barely exercised...so I figure to get this last bit off I will have to exercise consistently. I have been stalled for alittle over 2 months this time, before the longest was about 6-7 weeks. I have went from a tight 12 pants and xl shirt to a 6 pants and med shirt. Feeling great! My personal goal is 130.

I have not tracked or logged my food in a looooong long time. I probably should, but I'm guessing I'm over 1000 calories a day. Which I know is why my loss has slowed so dramatically. I just get so hungry! I AM trying to keep up with the exercise, as that seems to be what keeps me moving downward. I'm finding myself fighting some old habits and mindsets. This is where the battle really begins for permanent lifestyle change. :s I've gotten bored with my good routine, but i need to get back to it.

Keep it up Feb Sleevers, we got this!

Bumping this to the top? How are all y'all doing? I had lost 60 starting wt 210 5'0" now 150. I was stuck for a few months 15 away from goal. Now I have gained 5. But I'm just not feeling to great the past few weeks I been feeling like poo. Tired. So maybe I need a check up?
