I Lost ******* in 2013



Recommended Posts

Wow; that is fantastic! I had VSG Dec 4th, am down 23#s, but at a stall for the past 4 days. The scale hasn't moved. Seeing these numbers keeps me encouraged that it WILL happen...in a BIG way!

Lost 83.5 lbs in 2013.

Gained my self respect back.

Also went dancing, started to run, went on dates for first time in 33 years, wore red suede knee high boots, got naked with a hottie (!), bought dresses and sheer lace top hold ups, wore red lipstick, started going out on my own to the cinema and theatre, laughed a lot and made so many new friends.

Ok 2014, show us what you've got, I am ready!

All because of my sleeve :-)))))

Yes, but is 2014 ready for you darlin!!!!!!!!!! ;)

I lost 85% of my stomach, bad crappy eating habits and 27 pounds. I will get the remaining 45 off this year through exercise and good, healthy eating.

One of my goals for 2014 is to ride 1,000 miles on my road bike outside from mid-March to end of October. I have it all mapped out. Now the weather has to cooperate.

I think it's very important to write down your goals and how you will accomplish them. I know for me it helps me track to see if I am on course or have veered off. I use the SMART method. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. If you post something vague like I will lose 50 pounds this year but have no clue how you will do it, you can spend a lot of time spinning your wheels and not accomplishing anything.

Happy new year to everyone, and I hope everyone meets their goals.

Surgery 8/2 of this past year. My husband lost 77 lbs, I lost 57 pounds so between us, we've lightened the load on this earth by 134 lbs.

Which btw, is more than our 13-year old son weighs.

It is also more than a newborn baby giraffe weighs, in case you were wondering :D

I have lost 70lbs, my defeated attitude, and starting to lose the thoughts of never being good enough, or the thoughts that I could never be considered attractive much less beautiful.

I have gained a new confidence, a new way to walk (head and eyes up) a new perspective on which food is worth putting in my mouth and what is not and the knowledge that food doesn't always win.

My hubby has lost 89lbs in 2013, so between the two of us we have lightened the load 159lbs this year.

I have 29 more to go, he has at least another 10, but will probably shoot for 20-30 more when he realizes it's possible.

This is the first year in a very long time that a new year seems full of possibility.

I am oddly pleased that somewhere out there, red suede boots are happening! It's going on my skinny wish list.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
