I actually was fat at 17...

But smaller than your highest???

Banded 10/12/16

Yes. It is safe to say that I probably weight less now than I did then.

Not at 17, but when I was 25 and about 135 pounds (my lowest ever) I remember talking with a friend of mine, saying, "you know, if this is the best I can be, I'll be happy with it." Little did I know that it was my best, and that will be the number I'm aiming for once again, even though I know my body will look a lot different than it did then!

I was heavy but certainly not obese at 17.... probably about 10# less than my current goal weight. Yeah, I'd take it. :D

It is amazing, I look back on pictures of myself at 17 and wonder how, why, what and who in the world ever made me think I was fat! Maybe I will figure that one out one of these days. Too bad I didn't know then that I was okay and to enjoy every minute of it instead of constantly trying to fit in and worry about how I looked!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
