Hello everyone

Sleeved 4/28

Before pre op: 252 lbs

Today down 60 lbs

Current weight: 189 lbs

Size: 12 pants size: M tops

My goal when I started was to be 180 lbs I'm only 9 lbs away so I'm shooting for 160 now. I feel fantastic I'm off my blood pressure medicine. I love shopping it's amazing to shop in the misses section of department stores.

I haven't eaten any bread, tortillas a few ritz crackers is all and I just started with salads. I still do premier shakes for breakfast.

I have a question for you all how is your hair? I just started loosing a bit but not to bad it's a good thing I have a lot of hair. This was my worst fear.

I have no regrets and I wanted to congratulate everyone this is an amazing journey we are on I love my new life. Thank you all for you support and strength I enjoy ready all of your stories.

Updated with pictures!

Starting weight 243

Current weight 171

Surgery date 4-15

Feeling pretty good now other than some back pain. Most unexpected "side effect" of this journey so far is my newly discovered urgency to make changes in my life, mainly my career. I want more for myself. I deserve more. I am enrolled in an MBA program and ready to apply for a promotion at work. Things I wouldn't even have considered several months ago. Hope everyone else is doing well and loving life!

I've been losing hair for a month. My hair is already thin/fine and falls out easily, but it's really coming out now. I'm starting to see some scalp and I'm worried because I know this can go on for several months. I've seen a dermatologist but honestly there's not much we can do but hold on and ride it out.

I wash and brush my hair very carefully, use a special shampoo and conditioner, and take Journey Hair Balance Vitamins, and hope for the best.

I still have no regrets.

Wow what a fantastic journey this had been. I just wish I would have done it sooner. I can't believe I only have to lose 38 more lbs to reach my goal weight. It's the closest I can ever remember I have been to a healthy weight. I feel like I have gotten some of my youth back, all this energy is great. Still no breads or crackers or carbs in general. But I do know that this is the right life for me. I lost my father on Father's Day and he was obese and diabetic. It only re-affirmed my decision that I did the right thing.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Been Going really slow for me

Queenwendy - we have about the same stats. I was sleeved 4/30. My starting weight was 272 and my current weight is 186.

I was sleeved April 9th, 2014! I have regular stalls - even 3 weeks without a loss. I try to stay focused on the plan & eventually I lose. I have learned to stay off of the scale so that I don't drive myself crazy. I read "success stories" and feel inspired. I am so thankful to those of you whom share your stories/progress and pictures. It really helps people along this journey! I will not give up and my goal will be met and maintained. I love my new healthy life. I am grateful for the nice encouraging emails from total strangers & not one single day goes by that I regret the decision/ investment to become a sleever. I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Like so many of you have read, my on,y regret is that I did not do it sooner! Thank you all for your kind support! ❤️

Haven't been on BP for a while so just checking back in to see how everyone's been doing? After my weight free fall , the arthritis in my knees settled down --I am pain free and mobile again after having to do some serious training and PT to get strong again.

I feel fantastic -- no regret (except that I waited too long).

I have my life back and I am never going back.

I see obese people on the street and want to run up to them and tell them they don't have to hurt anymore, there is hope. I can't believe I carried so much pain around in me for so long. 72 more pounds to go in Joy!

I was sleeved 4/23 from Seattle.

I have been on a 3 mo stall. Started working out and dropping sizes not so much number on the scale. I love spinning and currently in size 12 and love it. I would like to get 46 more off. Really going to buckle down as I have been falling into really bad habits lately sugar is my thing. Trying to sugar detox starting today to get back on track. Protein here I come.

I was stalled for 3 weeks and added more protein and I am losing again. Try that! Good luck!

I have not posted in this group for a while but I wanted to take the time and say GREAT JOB EVERYONE! This has been a hard but very rewarding journey! I am happy with my results. I am a much happier person and most importantly a more active mom of 3 beautiful little girls. I cant believe how much my life has changed since I made the decision to take this step. I am now training for a half marathon race in March. 13.1 Miles to be exact!! Wowers! I cant believe I am going for it but I have confidence that I can accomplish this big goal!! :-) I am so close to my goal but this last few pounds seem impossible to loose. Does anyone have any suggestions that can help? I look forward to hearing from ya'll soon! Good luck to everyone!

Those last few may only come off with surgery (tummy tuck). I'm kind of in the same boat right now. I have about 10 more pounds to lose and i feel great but that last bit of belly fat isn't going anywhere! Lol

I have been on a month stall! Getting very frustrated!
