I thought I would kick off the fun for August Sleevers! So here we go!!

I am scheduled for Monday August 19th! Let the countdown begin!!

Had 6 month check up yesterday and I have lost 75.1 pounds since August 28th! Per my doctor I need to lose 36 more to reach goal! Almost in site! Happy...

Hi August 2013 sleevers, was peeking in to see how everyone is doing. I am now 7 months post sleeve and down 93 pounds. Unbelievable. Only 20 more pounds and I will be at my goal. It has slowed down to about 5- 7 pounds a month, wearing a size 12 feels better than a 24. I am throwing out all of my big clothes, how about you all ? Anyone finding great fun in shopping for new clothes? Except for the hair loss and elephant skin butt, I feel pretty good. I can also eat about a cup of food at a sitting. How are the rest of you doing?

Was sleeved 8/8/13. Hit -100 lbs today . Long way to go still but it's going.

Kennedy, 100 pounds, congratulations. I hope to join you in that accompllishment soon.

I had surgery 8/14/13...I'm down 113 pounds. Want to drop about 30 more but I'm content thus far :-)

You are all doing so well! I have only lost 66-pounds since sleeved August 23td 2013!

What's your secret? I've been stuck at this weight for about a month!

I've lost 50 lbs. since august, but I've been bouncing up and down at 270 since Nov., very frustrating.

I think I'm cheating too much. I've probably been having more carbs than I should. I'm not good at exercising, either. My doctor said the weight would be harder to lose now. Time to get serious again!

Believe me, Bon, I've had stalls too. I seemed to yo yo around in December and January but really didn't lose anything. My NUT told me to switch up and eat up to 30 carbs a day for 2days and on the third day, eat up to 100. At first I had a slight gain, but then it seemed to kick in. Also, we joined a gym and started doing water aerobics about 3 weeks ago, which has really helped. I started at 410 and now I'm 310, so I've got a long way to go and I know the next 100 will be even harder. We can do this. One meal at a time.

Me too! I have been so sad because I Plato so bad..

I am down 90lbs since 8-22-14 10 more till goal!!! So excited

Hello All- I was sleeved Aug 1 since then down 73 pounds. Losing very slowly, I am in average losing 4-5 pds a month

We really need to consider what percentage of our weight we actually lost instead of complaining about only this and only that and how slow etc etc! You may be surprised!

LI is right. I like that My Fitness Pal shows me the percent change in my body weight. Also a lot of times, weight loss is slower if you aren't really big to start with. I stared at 410.

I still write down what I eat everyday and keep my food most days at over 60 grams of protein, low carbs and less than 1000 calories.. I keep walkinng and running everywhere. Weight is coming off more slowly now but still coming off. I try not to cheat and have not had really any sweets to speak of. I look at this as my mission right now. To lose 20 more pounds is my goal, and in 4 months it can be done.
