They did. I think it's harder for people to critique something you have already done - especially when you have been working hard and they have been praising your efforts to be healthy.

It would be hard for them to say they are proud of your efforts except the surgery

How much weight have you lost?

73 pounds

I came so close to my goal but I did not hit it - that is a rarity for me. I am pretty competitive and usually finish what I start.

That said, I am still incredibly proud of myself - maybe even more proud than I would have been if I had hit my goal.

I desperately wanted to lose 100 pounds by my birthday.

Wednesday I weighed in and was ONE pound away. And then Mother Nature paid me a monthly visit yesterday.

I was so frustrated and thought "Maybe I can just not eat for a day, or take a laxative, or go sit in the sauna. Or do a crazy last chance workout"

After years and years of abusing my body and trying to lose weight I know how to play the game.

And then I realized this isn't a game to me anymore. This is my health. And I have worked really hard to make healthy decisions. I am not going to lose my mind or my focus over one pound.

So I lived my new life exactly the way I had been. I worked out and I ate eggs and chicken and cottage cheese and nuts and embraced the new me

So when the scale read 248 I celebrated my 99 pounds and the fact that I was under 250.

I am doing this the right way. I am not looking back.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
