HALF WAY TO GOAL!! (4 months post )

  • Popular Post

I'm half way there. I didn't think I'd get there this fast as I'm a light weight and I was told by my team to expect to go at a snail's pace. I'm now down 58lbs. And I never thought it was possible

..

I have 51lbs to go. Knowing I've lost more than I have to lose makes me believe I will get there one day. And I've said to myself there is no rush. Id like to be at my goal by 12-18 months but im aware the loss gets slower as you get closer.

It's still surreal to think one day I may be in a 'normal' weight bracket.

It's not been a smooth journey for my health not related to the sleeve. But I'm great full for the sleeve curing my high blood pressure and making me more confident. I didn't think I'd look much different between 244 and 186 but people already treat me differently like I'm in a new body.

I am alot saggier than I imagined I'd be. My tummy my butt thighs and top of my arms but I don't mind so much.

Just thought I'd share my experience.. I'm.one of the people that doubted it would work for.me. as nothing else did !

It's odd to say that I'm in a stage were it's so much easier. I don't feel I'm dieting. It's not hard for me to follow my plan seeing my amazing results.. and it's never been easier. When I used to diet I'd starve and struggled. But I'm eating healthy and living my life.

    Man, take two inches off my height, and give or take a month, and I feel like I'm your surgery twin. I'm also a little over half way to goal. I, too, was a doubter this would work for me because I fai

  • I could have written this same post! I'm at my half-way and going through many similar thoughts. Congrats on tackling the journey so well.

    I'm going about this journey incognito, so no pics coming from me. You'll have to admire my ticker graphic instead.
