Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

AWESOME!!!!!

Yay! That is awesome Kiap82..It is amazing how good those things that feel so good and that thin people have never even thought about... just tieing our shoes, crossing our legs,seat belts...etc..etc... Shellvsg, that is very interesting. I think there is a lot of truth to what you are saying,but I feel like I'm going to gain weight if I go off of what I am doing. (Head stuff)...But I totally think you are right!!! Cheers to you both!!!

Hey, late reporting was on vacation!

SW 248

CW 206

I lost 2 lbs this past week on vacation:-). It is so weird to not be able to order and eat more than a bite or two of my food! Loving thy weight loss though!! So Proud of all your numbers this week, keep up the good work!

My husband got me an inexpensive ring to wear in the interim. We call it the "stunt double ring."

I haven't gotten a stunt double and wouldn't you know I had someone at work ask me why I was 'missing something'. I thought she was implying my weight loss in general but it turned out she meant my wedding rings. She had the nerve to ask if everything was ok! I was so stunned I told her all was fine minus my rings being too big to wear.

O my gosh. Just wanted to share this. I was sitting at work and look down an saw I had cross my legs. I was amazed and looked at my coworker and said "look my legs are crossed." She had a blank look on her face and I told her this was a first for me in a long time. We had a NSV high five. Yeah for me.

ME TOO! Happened this past Sun night... my friend instantly high fived me . Congrats!!!

Update for Loriannfos:

Livin' and Lovin' the sleeve plan!

I'm enjoying a healthy snack tonight...

1/4 c fat-free Refried Beans

Topped w/ 1/4 c shredded Colby-Jack cheese

And I added about 6 grape tomatoes (quartered, lightly brushed with Lucini olive oil)

Added a pinch of Kosher salt

Stuck plate under broiler for about 5 min...

Delish!

Hi everyone,

Has been a bit, back to normal busy life.

Thank you for all that you guys share.

So happy for you guys.

My birthday is Saturday. Extra special for me because last year on my bday is when I broke down & decided I had to look into options & help. My long journey began in April.

As of today I am down just over 77lbs pre & post op.

Sleeved on 12/26.

I officially Love this tool & am beyond grateful for it.

Truly a full circle year for me.

So grateful to not be in the same place, only wishing I would of done something.

Excited for the future

Continuing my work to honor myself & my sleeve

So happy even turning a year older ha ha!

Take care every one & keep posting & inspiring )

I'm sitting in a barbeque resturaunt right now waiting for a to-go order to bring to a potluck. I'm looking atound at people with heaping plates of food and feeling like I don't belong here. Thanking the stars for my sleeve and looking forward to an evening of socializing.

12/17/13....Felipe the Sleeve was born. 3 months is creeping up fast!!!!

Down 50lbs... Weight loss has slowed considerably since I discovered the real dangers of sliders....

Pork rinds, pickles, mini triscits and buttered popcorn... I just had to tell Felipe "no more!"

So were back at the gym, preparing for a 5k, shopping, wearing a size 12!...and respecting the journey always.

Shelby....

Shelby- I too felt the wrath of the slider at the movie theatre a few days ago. It's was my first time having popcorn since surgery and I assured my friend that he should only get a small since there was no way I'd be able to eat more than two fist fulls. Well- he got a medium and I'll be damned if I didn't help him finish the bag.

This was my first time experiencing that feeling since surgery. Even after leaving the movie, I was ready for dinner. Needless to say, my tryst with popcorn was short lived. Won't be doing that again!
