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!

Hey, have not posted cause I was in a stall but lost 4 lbs this week! 2 over the past 3 weeks! Grand total of 6 and I am now in the 150's!!!! My dreams have come true! Now what to do with this drooping between my thighs and these arms with wings...I even have wrinkles on my but where my but used to be! Lol

248 Surgery day Dec 18 2013

159 current weight

89 lbs down in 8 1/2 months!!!

Geaux us!!!

How's everyone doing out there? We're all at or about 10 months out. What are your stats?

I started at 315. Surgery was on 12/13/13. I'm down 120 pounds at 195 right now.

Started at 271 down 126 to 145!

Thinking this may be goal for me at 5'7" so now all I have to do is stay here and get some things tucked up surgically!

Oh and my surgery was 12/2/13 and I'm a solid size 6 with the occasional 4.

I started at a high of 362 lbs. Surgery was on 12/23/13. My current weight is 218 lbs. My total weight loss has been 144 pounds!

Weight loss has slowed considerably but is still happening. Hit my goal of 230 in July but still moving slowly downward.

I started at 314 (although my pcp mentioned 324 as my highest weight) and had surgery on 12/10/2013.

I'm fluctuating between 167 and 169 as of late and seem to have leveled off. So down about 146 pounds and wearing size 34 pants.

I would like to lose another 5 pounds but grateful to be where I am.

You both have done so great! Congratulations!

Hi Everyone!

I started at 253lbs Surgery was 12/11/2013

lost 105lbs - I am currently 148 size 8/10 I am 5'7"

I dont want to go below 145 - i think this is a good weight for me.

Hello, guys!

I started at 238 lbs, was sleeved 11/17/13. Now I'm 151 lbs. I'm 5'5 and wearing size 6-8, depends on company. Yesterday, I bought few sweaters that x-small (!). Except of mod acid reflux, I don't have any complications. I feel very good and very happy with the results! I'm very nervous about food cravings coming back and gaining wt:((.

I have cravings now, just have to keep making good choices more often than not.

Everyone is doing so great!

Before surgery my cravings were so strong that they were interfering with my daily life:((. I would spend most of my energy fighting it. After the surgery I didn't have cravings or touched simple carbs for ~ 6 months. I still don't eat simple carbs on regular basis but from time to time a have cravings, not as strong as in the past. My food choices are healthy 90-95% of the time but other 5%...(. I'm working very hard to stay with plan to maintain my current weight and maybe loose another 5lbs.

Sleeved 12/31/21013, I've lost 78 lbs (232 to 154 lbs). I'm very happy with the results.

I'm finding myself more hungry some days and having cravings. I'm working out a lot, though, and generally eating healthier. I don't want any gains!

Ditto on the hunger and cravings. I jumped off the food logging wagon a month ago, and I have pretty much stalled and wildly fluctuated between 147 - 152 since. I really do want to get to 140, but don't quite have enough motivation to be as rigid as I was before..

@Ava324 - come on babe!!! you can do it!!! I am EXACTLY like you going between 148 - 151 & the food cravings have been crazy!!! i feel off the food tracker end of July - i am trying to get it together (started yesterday & then didnt do squat today) WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER. we have almost the same stats. I wanted to be no less then 145 - but i will try to do 140 with you!!! we can lose these last 7/8 lbs together!!!! what do you say??? you in? we can start tomorrow (but for real)
