I am 16 months out. I never made goal I still need to lose 40 pounds . My lowest weight was 173 in August. I had gained weight and was at 187 at my dr. Visit last week. Needless to say my surgeon challenged me to lose 10 pounds in two months. Told him I thouj my sleeve was broken. Turns out I have been grazing. I kept saying few snack won't hurt me. They have killed me and Im so mad at myself. I'm going to Paris in June and want to look fab.

This week went back to basics and have lost 6 pounds since monday. I have gone back to basics as everyone on here suggested and it works. 1 Protein shake in morning , greek yogurt for lunch. Lean protein for snack when get home from work. Additional lean protein around 7 pm. Also have gotten in all my Water something I never did before. Keeping my carbs at 20 grams and my protein at 90. I am so grateful. That I have this forum to see that I'm not alone on this journey

Hey @@Olarance75 – Congrats on muscling the weight back down! I figure that's going to be the story for the rest of our lives. But you caught it and did something about it before it got completely out of control, and that's really admirable! Do you feel that your restriction has returned to help you for a while?

So I feel off the wagon again and now I’m up to210 pounds. I decided to turn back to this group and get support I need. I’m starting this reset in the morning.

hows it going?

Great Job!!

Well this weight loss journey has been never ending for me. I blamed Covid but really it’s been my lack of discipline. I’m down from 212.2 to 174. Dedicated to not giving up. Hoping to lose to 164 by next month.

you can do it,

Down to 170 today. So 6 more pounds to go

That’s amazing, well done! Would you mind sharing your tips/plan? Thanks

I have been intermittent fasting. I’m eating between 12-6 and that’s it. Also I’m eating mostly protein and absolutely no carbs. It I get hungry I eat few grapes and by few I mean 4.

Down 6 more pounds. Officially at 164.

Congratulations, that’s an amazing effort!!

Down to 161

Down to 155 and have been maintaining all summer. It feels so good to have my weight finally under control

Down to 152 and actually I can’t believe it. Never did I think I would get this small especially after 10 years. I am sticking to my intermittent fasting and the pounds just keep coming off.

So good to hear! I’m 10 years out (sleeve) and have regained back 40 of the 80 lbs I initially lost. I never could lose any more than the initial 80 lbs. I never met goal and remember how upset I was over that. Oh how I wish I was still there now! I’m happy to hear your reset worked for you. I need to make a real commitment and go back to the basics. I’ve been ‘grazing’ for too long!
