Nov 2013 Sleevers Progress So Far...

[Madelyne Bonthron 128]

Hi y'all. I wanted to update my progress. On Monday I became Overweight. I am no longer considered obese. I started at obese class III. I'm down 63 lbs. since pre-op; surgery 11/08. How is everyone doing??

Congrats on your progress. As of right now i am down 93 lbs from nov 19,2013. I am hoping to hit my 100 lb weight loss soon

Hey guys I am down to 235 from 330. I am flying out for my 1 year wedding anniversary next Friday. Super scared on how I am going to fit in the seats.

I can still say i am very happy that I got sleeved. I am down to 163 at this moment and my original goal weight was 160. Day of surgery i was 221. I feel great, i am still not doing my best with Protein and i have slipped from time to time with my eating habits. But I always try and remember this is for life! And I do not want to be where I was a year ago 2 years ago at my highest at 286 pounds. I am losing hair and have been for a couple months now, but i already knew it was something to be expected so I just try and get through it. I hope all November Sleevers are doing well, lets not forget about each other!!!

Hello my WONDERFUL November 2013 sleevers! I haven't checked in, in over 3 months. I hope you all are doing well and super healthy. Well, where is everyone at mentally, physically, and weight? I feel great, normal too. I sometime have low energy but it could be just lazy. I really need to get back in the gym too (confession: only have done about 2 hours of cardio/weight lifting TOTAL). Eating habits are still good for fear of gaining any weight but I AM A SLOW LOSER.... Here are my stats...

HW 295 lbs/size 24

VSG Day 277 lbs/size 22

currently at 223lbs/size 16reg (size 14 not breathing) total loss 72 lbs

hair loss: just a little and no longer losing.

Gals, be firm with me tell me how I need to exercise more and I didn't get this far to start slowing down before my goal.

Thanks for listening and God bless you all.

Hi Rosana. Congratulations on your weight loss. I don't get to the gym everyday but when I do, I do 30 minutes of cardio and 20-30 of either weights, ab exercises or lunges/squats. I need motivation some times too but once I'm there I feel so great. And even once I didn't recognize the girl in the mirror! Hang in there and stay positive. 72 lbs is great. Keep up the great work!

Congratz everyone, I am down 60 lbs and my husband down 90 lbs, sleeved 2 weeks apart. Health has improved drastically for each of us. We just drove from Florida to Kansas for a visit I promised my now 90 year old Uncle 10 years ago (have been too afraid to go), without my husband's ankles swelling like balloons. My husband booked himself a 7 day cruise for his birthday next week. I will never have to buy a 2nd seat airline ticket for my husband again to keep from embarrassing him if he didn't fit in the seat. He is giving away his 3X clothes. He has kept clothes for 30 years as his weight went up and down from starving himself. Never again! Life is wonderful and we are not wasting a minute. Best of luck to you all for continued good health.

Best choice I ever did.............. I'm still in shock.... Can't believe it........

Going on 7 months and in a stall. So depressing gotta hit this gym hard.

[hopeliveshere 294]

hey everyone! i dont remember when was the last time i checked in. my surgery was 11-12-13. sw was 257 current weight 189. my body is in a stall. i only lost 2lbs in may. spoke with my dr about my stalls and he said i need to get my activity level up. i dont have much exercise beyond walking to and from bus and picking up my kids from school. Ive got the eating part down but i seriously lack motivation when it comes to working out

ive got to find what works for me if i ever want this stall to break. i dont have time or money to join a gym and i tire quickly of doing the same workout dvd over and over..

Get a fit bit! It is a great motivator. My whole family has one and we try to be top score for each week. :-)

I think we are all in a stall at this time. I go to the gym 4-6 days a week for lunch and ride my bike almost every afternoon. I have been in a stall for the majority of May as well. I'm still taking in less than 1500cal a day.

I've also tracked my weight loss and found that there is a trend line that my body follows. If I lose too much weight I will stall for a week or 2 and if I gain weight I will lose it in a week or 2. Last month is the first month that I didn't follow that trend line.

I have found that my bike has been the best cardio for me. I tried running but my hips are shot from being so big my whole life so I got a bike. I haven't gotten the cheezy bike suit with spandex pants or pointy helmet but I am becoming a bike guy.
