Great pics. You look fantastic! Can I ask, you said -40 carbs a day? I don't understand what that means.

I log, track, weigh, and measure all the food that I eat on my fitness pal. I eat less than 40 carbs a day. I actually keep them closer to 20 grams a day. Hope this helps.

Absolutely amazing! You look like a different person. I love your shoes, too!

Thank you! I have a ton of super cute shoes. That is one thing as a big girl that I liked to shop for. So the one down side (not) of losing big... My shoe size has gone down by at least a 1/2 size and maybe even a full size. Someone at goodwill will hit the motherload when I donate them! Im waiting to replace them until I get the last 20 lbs off.

Wow! You look like a different person. Awesome! Would you mind telling what your beginning and present weights are?

Ok...so it has to be our little secret... I started at 340 and have lost 172 lbs. I am 5'7 tall. There is a great website ...something like body image gallery (you will have to google it) that will show you what real life people at your hight and weight will look like at certain weights. This was pretty helpful to me. When I started this process I picked a size 12 as my goal. Well I got there and was suprised to find out that as an apple shaped person I was still pretty fat. The size 12 I had in my head was hour glass shapped and must have been Amazon height. I am now a 10 and still look fairly hefty. My 20ish lbs I want to go will put me into my normal bmi range with a little room for bounce back.

Oh ok that makes sense. Less than 40 not negative 40. Thought u were counting impact carbs or something I don't really understand. Thanks for the quick response.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
