Hi all I was thinking of making a group with a group of ladies and gents who are all around the same time frame. I don't know about you but I tend to feel a bit list in being able to contact anyone and hopefully we can find a Buddy/s to bounce things off.

This site is awesome and love reading it.

My stats

Female

37 years

Starting weight :217 pounds or 98.5kg

Surgery is 18th September 2014..

Good luck Kellie!

I hope everyone is doing well!

Sorry I have been a bit slack

I have lost 18 kgs and I am at my 12 week mark so I am doing ok.

I am half way there nearly!

Feeling good, should be eating a lot more but just can't stomach more than 3 mouthfuls.

So I am hoping that improves..

Hope everyone is well

How's everyone going???

I have been on a stall for 5 weeks!! So over it

Well I am experiencing the week 2/3 stall! No weight gained or lost. I know it's part of the process but still disheartening.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. Stalling has been pretty much the norm for me. Almost 4 mo. out and 47 down but seen to have 1/2 weeks stalls each month. Double down and make sure you're getting all your Water and Protein. Soon your body will catch on and start loosing again. Good luck.

Well after nearly 6 weeks of stalling I can proudly say I have lost 500grams..

It was really starting to get me down, fingers crossed it keeps moving!!

I hope you are all going well!

I had a long long stall. Holidays were a reality check. Stall is over and just going to look at my post op life as living stall to stall and focusing on the long term goal!!

Hi all. Hit 50 lbs down yesterday. Hope everyone else is doing well and everything. Stay strong and be happy.

I hit 200lbs today, down 75lbs. I have 50lbs to go.

How is everyone going ?

I have lost 70lbs and now at 150lbs

Would love to lose another 15lbs - 20lbs for my ultimate goal

Awesome job. I'm doing great. Down 69 and have another 71 to go. Slow and steady but I'm happy with my progress.

I am at 97.4 pounds down since my surgery... Almost to 100 lbs! I could be doing better, but I'm happy with my success as of right now!

KNZT. ...remember me? We had surgery one day a part and we're 1 day apart. I am down 71 pounds so far and weighing in at 147. Want to lose 15 more pounds. Feeling confident......2late4bed

Meant to say we're 1 day apart and 1 pound apart from starting weight. I started at 218 had surgery September 17, 2014 and am now at 147 so I'm down 71 pounds.

I have a question... I was sleeved on September the 15th. I have recently been working out with a trainer for almost two months. We take my measurements weekly. Today we took my measurements on my waist and I went up three inches, but my hips went down an inch. When measuring my waist, he told me that I had the tape in the wrong place, but I didn't Bc it was right across my bellybutton. He said it is lower than where he measures each week and it seemed to be like I was almost to my hip line. So my question is does you bellybutton drop...is this just part of this crazy process and it will all come together at the end? I mean there is such a thing called gravity... Please if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on my measurements please let me know. I dropped weight this week too... Just confused. Thanks in advance!

I don't think your belly button can move because it's attached to the abdominal wall. Unless you've had a hernia or something. My excess skin kinds sags around it but it hasn't moved yet. Keep up with the exercise and you'll look wonderful. ????
