Weigh In Wed!

50 Lbs gone in under 3 months! Slowly working towards that beloved Onederland!


Wednesday weigh in:

High:296
Surgery: 281 (1/25)
Today: 239

Lost a lot initially, but been on plateau last month. I feel like I can eat way more than I thought I would be. And hungry between meals. Anyone else feels the same?

I do feel like sometimes too, but I usually take a big drink of water and I’m way to full. Try not to stress about your progress too, everyone reacts differently.

Have you tried switching up your diet and exercise a little? Sometimes a shock to the system helps break that monotony of your daily life.

I weigh less than what my drivers license says!


Congrats Marc on breaking through the 3's!!!! Woot!

Wow @Karen Tucker that is some super impressive weightloss! Next couple of weeks will be the path to onederland!!!

@Marc76 you've worked so hard for this! That's awesome!

@soccerkaty I am so thankful that sort of info isn't on UK driving licenses lol! You're doing fab!

@spealex i think i speak for us when i say we all have wobbly days. Plateaus are very disheartening but, in the words of George michael - you gotta have faith. Stick with your plan and stay strong. You can do this xx

My surgery was January 4th, 2018. As of today, I'm down 54.4 since surgery, and 68.4 since my pre op diet. I lost 30lbs almost immediately (2 weeks), then pretty much nothing for about six weeks. My body took awhile before it wanted to shed the pounds, but now it's coming off quickly at the 90ish day mark. I guess what I'm saying is DON'T GIVE UP! I was positive I wasted my money & ruined my digestive system because I felt like crap the first two months, but now I'm feeling good most of the time and the weight is finally coming off. I still miss being able to eat a dang meal though, sheesh. Just once I'd like to eat more than a few bites, but nope.... this is why I needed such drastic surgery in the first place.

Wednesday weigh-in time again folks.... today I'm at 210 ☺ So glad I managed to lose with a leaving party, house move and holiday. Could never have done that preop x
