Hi everyone! I went to the pool today and did 6 Laos along with my 45 minute Water aerobic class. I have never swam a lap before today! I feel so great about myself right now.

GREAT JOB!!! I am looking for a swimsuit. I currently don't have one that fits. Don't want to spend a lot because I hope to not be in this size by summer. I can't wait to get back in the pool though! Great exercise and refreshing at the same time.

I do, but I am not a member. I am a member of Sam's Club. I found one cheap there, but I don't really like it. I hate swimsuit shopping!

Not my favorite, either. I didn't even try it on. I just bought what I thought I could wear and crossed my fingers.

I went to kohls last night because I needed dress pants. My fourteens were too big. I have a pair of jeans in 12 so I started there... I got 10 petites!!!! Yay I am almost to single digit clothes!! My friend told me I was probably an 8 in normal length because petites are smaller all the way around.

WAY TO GO!!! Your friend is exactly right, petites are smaller all the way around - you will wear an 8 in regular misses. You are where I am trying to get. I have about 15 - 20 more pounds to go.

What's up with bathing suit prices? The last time I bought one (probably 20+ years ago) an expensive suit was about $40. Regular price at Kohl's is closer to $100! That's more than I paid for my Calvin Klein winter coat! When did a little bathing suit start costing so much?!!! :-/

Try landsend clearance. They have really well made suits and can be a good buy on sale or clearance. Full price will be 100

I am no longer obese! My goal was to drop my BMI into the overweight category by March 1. I stepped on the scale this morning, and I am there!!! When I began this journey my BMI was over 60. I am now under 30. My weight goal does not take me to a normal BMI, I want to be at a weight I feel I can maintain. I am nearly there. I am flying high this morning!!

I'm so happy for you and proud for you! Know what hard work it takes! What an awesome goal reached! You inspire me :)

Well I have 19.8 pounds to go for me to hit my goal weight, as my weight is now; Im happy where I'am at even if i didn't lose no more. I'm sure i will hit my goal and will be posting new pictures soon. I walk by people that I know and they don't even recognize me and I just smile and say Hello and move on, they kinda of have a bewildered look. Then there's the ones that use to say when they looked at me when I was 478lbs and I hear them say "so disgusting; if i ever get that way I hope someone shoots me". Well the same ones now smile and want to talk but i have no time for those people who live in there perfect world but I make the time for the ones that they turn the cheek too. I will never forget how I felt and I will be damned if I will let someone else say that to someone thats heavy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
