Hallelujah!! The app works!! For now... Well while we were all disconnected I hit a HUGE milestone. 100lbs gone for good! Actually 101 to be exact. To those that have reached this goal, how did you Celebrate it. I want to reward myself but I'm not sure what to do.

Congrats!!!!!

I think we can all relate to this. It is a hard adjustment for us physically and psychologically. I hope it won't be too long before our minds can catch up with our bodies. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will see the skinny you eventually! At least that's what I'm telling myself!

I have moments like that too...I still feel like the fattest person in the room. The good news is...it's not true! It's just in my head from years of it being true! No more for me and no more for you! It'll get better because it IS better.

HUGS!

I'm liking what I see… so long as I am dressed… once the clothes come off, I'm totally self conscious :( I think it's something we all have to work on and deal with.

Team June,

Thanks for those much needed words of support and comradeship :D

I think the problem was I was not measuring my daily goals , Fitness pal , Pedometer , Bathroom scale.< /span>

I guess even-though I know i am doing well i still need the measurements to verify and reinforce my conviction.

one day i wont need to track as religiously as i was but apparently that day is way in the future

today I feel better about what I'm seeing, Just had one of those days... back on track to awesomeness.

Thanks Again

RJ

Is anyone else noticing their weight loss slowing down? I use to average a loss of about 4lbs a week and now I'm at 2lbs. I know it's still good that I'm losing, but it makes me feel like I've done something wrong. I continue to exercise, I upped my calories and Protein since that has helped when I stalled in the past, but it is frustrating. It makes me scared that I will be done losing soon and I still have 98lbs to go before I'm at my goal weight.

Any suggestions?

Hey RJ!

You are NOT the same "fat guy" no matter what the camera says! It is not all about the camera either, a photographer can make you look larger or smaller than you are depending on how they set the lighting and the pose. Compare the pics to ones that were taken a year ago, and I am sure you will see a HUGE difference.

I have a family pic scheduled for tonight - I'm sure I will be looking for support tomorrow!

YES!!!! I am less than 10 pounds to ONEderland, and my weightloss is really slowing down. I went back and looked at MFP where I have recorded my daily weight. The total weight lost had been less every month with October only being about 17 pounds. Unfortunately, I think November will be worse yet!

I am sticking to the plan. Increasing my workouts, by adding one cardo workout class each week. I am thinking that by switching up the workouts, perhaps it will jumpstart the weightloss again.

The most I have every eaten in one day is 700 calories, so I know it isn't that I am overeating! We just have to be patient for our bodies to get on board!!

Best of luck...

Carol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
