Helping those less fortunate as I lose weight



Recommended Posts

So, I decided that I was going to donate food to a local food pantry for every pound I lose...here is the first 39 pounds worth on its way to be delivered to a local food pantry.

Damn, I so wanted to be original ;-). I have seen her blog, but missed that part of her story...I have tried some of her recipes and have bookmarked others...she is great, I agree.

No way! That's still super awesome! I'm sure she wasn't the first one to think of it ;) I think it's amazing what your doing! I'd like to do that also, and donate all my bigger clothes! Congrats on the weight loss!

Great idea! I am planning on donating all my clothes that are too big to a local woman's shelter. Many of the ladies that go to a shelter arrive with just the clothes they are wearing, so woman's shelters are always looking for clothes. I have some really nice clothes too, so there are going to be some happy ladies!

You can also help out people here on VST that need something or another depending on their circumstance. There are many ways to give back, pay it forward or whatever you want to call it all around us. You just need to look and then just let it happen. Trust me, you will feel giddy after giving selflessly to others. Have a nice day!

Totally...I already helped out a fellow VSTer by sending her some new workout clothes that I didn't care for, but hadn't returned. Shipped them to her for free and all...felt awesome :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
