So what's your new obsession since you started your weight loss journey? Everyone says that you shouldn't weigh yourself every day but I figure I quit smoking and gave up wine for a healthy new life.... Im going to weigh myself... It keeps me honest. My other new obsession is body lotions, creams, oils, you name it. Trying to keep the skin hydrated both inside and out lol!

Yes I must admit I want a new scale. The one I have now doesn't have "decimals". My husband agrees we need a new one since he's dieting also. ( he's my old obsession and biggest supporter) haha!!

coffee. I always liked an occasional latte, but I now drink coffee everyday. I usually do Decaf but ocassionally if I'm really tired I'll do regular.

I also weigh myself daily, sometimes more than once. If you weigh yourself right after you wake up and go to the bathroom, before you eat or anything, it's the lightest you'll be all day ;) I use that as my "true" weight, as I can "gain" at least a pound or 2 throughout the day. I always "lose" it by morning though

I'm a little further out than y'all, but one thing I've used as a big tool with me is music. I've got into music I never in my wildest dreams thought I would. Since my mother passed I do a lot of speaking about organ donation and I've become involved in that. I also enjoy cooking a lot more than I use too because it doesn't hurt my feet to stand like it use too so I really go crazy in there.

Yes, I always weigh myself in the morning. Funny this morning I got up at like 5 am to use the bathroom and tip toed down the hall to weigh myself (the scale is in my daughters bathroom) because I new she was getting up early and I would loose my window of opportunity. When I came back into the bedroom my husband had woken up and he says "hey go grab the scale, I want weigh myself too!" We both started laughing. Oy vey!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
