Happy anniversary!!! [emoji106][emoji109]

[It's Time 178]

Good Morning 2/9ers, so I just looked at the calendar and today marks 99 days since we started the sleeved life [emoji16]

I have to say I'm very grateful for the journey, although I thought I would be further along - but it's been an experience learning my new body - still working on getting my Water up to where it needs to be and consistently getting in a minimum of 80 grams of Protein [emoji16]

How's everyone doing

Positive - did you go and have the colon cleansing [emoji15]

I thought I would be further along too!! I have lost 40 pounds. Still working on the Water and getting all the Vitamins in.

Musclepharm coconut water has 20 grams of Protein and the chocolate tastes amazing. But it is expensive.

Glad to be in such a supportive group.

I have never heard of musclepharm, I will look for the chocolate- coconut and I don't care for each other [emoji39]

This is definitely a supportive group, I love my 2/9 family [emoji8]

Positive - did you go and have the colon cleansing

Good Morning!! No, I haven't tried it yet. I decided to do a body wrap first, which is supposed to help tighten the skin and help with elasticity. I'm doing that in the morning and will let you guy's know.

I still plan to try a colon cleanse though.

I'm almost finished with the toning gel and it seems to have helped my mid section some. I think it's a good purchase so far.

Weight loss is amazing, but I now know slower is better!!! Our skin can't keep up with rapid weight loss and I didn't know or just didn't realize it at the time we had surgery. I don't have a lot of sagging skin, but I do have some and I would rather have everything tight if possible. Took a wile for me to figure out the weight is coming off no matter what so I can't just sit around. I have to lift weights and do squats to keep everything tight and right!!

Eating is really weird because I eat whatever I want. Can't eat much, but I do eat anything except drink soda or any carbonated drinks. That's gone for life!! Anything else I've tried and my tummy is okay with it as long as it's in small increments. On average I'm eating approximately 500-800 calories a day. I will not lie and say it's all healthy foods because it's not. I literally eat whatever I want and my doctor is okay with that because I'm not getting sick anymore when I eat something. However, I eat healthy foods DAILY just have unhealthy Snacks like chips and salsa, crackers, a little Pasta here and there.

Glad everyone is still doing great!

Slower weight loss is better for your body. You are doing great. Increase your workout and it will come off!!

Body Wrap Report

So, I finally made time to have a body wrap and it was wonderful!! Felt great and will see what results I get over the next 48 hours. I'll be in touch!

I feel like I ate more these last couple months and would eat a larger portion and more frequently. Just recently I can barely eat anything and have to force myself to eat. Is this happening to anyone else?

Yep, I feel the same way! I can drink 1 bottle of Water in about 2 hours, whereas 3 weeks ago it would take all day. Weird...

Hi 2/9ers,

Hope everyone is doing well. Brief update as we are drawing close to our 4th month. I'm down 65 lbs. I am starting to feel and see the loose skin. I cannot wait to hear how the results of Positive44's body wrap was. I heard routine massages also help with skin issues. I hope everyone is doing well!
