I am starting to try to think of my weight loss in terms of 5lb bags of potatoes. Really..think about it. 20lbs down is 4 BAGS of Potatoes. I can't believe I was carrying all that extra weight around. Or 12lb bags of dogfood. Seriously people we are doing amazing for people who struggled to take off even 5 lbs before. Keep up the good work!

Army wife, thank you!!!

My hubby picked up a 25 pound turkey the other day and said here pick this up. Then said now do you still think you haven't lost anything? Lol

Also look at a pound of butter. Pure fat. Puts that "I only lost one pound" in perspective.

Okay be honest. I'm down 43 pounds and I barely see a difference in my face. My daughter says I'm too hard on myself. (Also sorry about our crazy pic. There aren't too many of me pre surgery).

Hi! I sent you a mfp friend request this morning. I have been bad about filling in my food for a couple of days but I am back on the ball I think again now. Just got busy & let it slide.

Hi all! I had a post op visit with the surgeon yesterday. I am 7 weeks out & the last 2 weeks I have really felt like I was stalling & not doing well. I am not getting enough off my fluids in & still having a hard time finding food that tastes good...plus can still only eat a few bites, so I really didn't know what to expect. I am happy to report that he says I sm doing great & I have lost 27% of my excess weight already, which is 44 pounds since my surgery. (80 lbs from a year ago when I started the whole lifestyle change). So even though it seems slow to me, I guess it IS working!!! :)

TMW, wow 44 pounds. I'm only down 31 since 11/19. Hope you feel better. I'm the opposite I can eat about anything and get "low sugar" hunger so I have to snack. I'm already terrified I will resort back to old ways.

Almost down to overweight with BMI from the alltime high of morbidly obese!!! It's the little things! One thing Im noticing: taste buds have changed so much! Can't stand sugar or fatty foods much anymore. My only issue really is watching the carbs. Im not tempted by food anymore. I NEVER thought that would be me! I can't drink milk much anymore. Skim milk even just kills the pouch!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
