Hello! I am 38, turning 39 in June. Having surgery April 4th, anyone else 39 and holding?

Congrats on ur weight loss!!! So glad to hear it does get better! That's a good thing to know.

It does get better.

I am 40. Was never a healthy weight in my 30's so I look forward to being healthy as I was in my 20's.

I have been heavy since my 2nd child in 1998. I used to play sports and was always the athlete of the family.... Now I'm the one my dad uses as the example as to why my sisters need to "watch their weight so they don't end up like me". I can't wait to lose my weight, get my life and health bak, and really make em all eat their words! I really wanna play softball again! I miss that. It was what I did to relieve frustration.

Hi. I'm Cheryl. Currently 39. Had surgery 10/14/13. HW 289. At surgery 235 and currently 188. Hoping to hit my goal of 150 by Sept when I turn 40!!

I had Surgery March 25th. I'm 38,will be 39 next month. I wanted to do this now so I can be thin at 40. My highest weight was 250#. Currently at 233#. I suspect I'm still holding on to some post surgery fluid. I'm excited about this journey. I'll be glad when my incisions stop hurting.
