I have no clue what it is about that weight but it doesn’t seem like it wants to loosen its clutch! I’ve never been this size or the 220 ever in my adult life but I was definitely terrified about the possibility of being stuck there. I guess we just have to keep pushing and hoping for the best. Here’s to reaching ONEderland!

I am also hanging in the 220s and have been for what feels like the last month! They tell me I’m on track to reach onederland, but... I’m not going to believe that until it happens!

I've been in the 240s since December 14th! I'm almost out (need to lose 0.7) so hopefully soon. I definitely had a slow go of it from Thanksgiving to New Years and it has picked up a bit. It's ok, I'm not in a hurry and I know I'll get there. I haven't been in the 230s for 10 years and even then it was a very brief stay. I plan to whiz right past and get into the 220s.

Y’all know how they preach that weight loss won’t solve all your problems?? Well it’s solving mine. My confidence has grown, I’m happier, I’m doing better financially, I’m making better decisions. I’m actually in college and my ambition is driving me where as before I would freak out and not be able to handle it. Weight loss is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m down 75.4 lbs, I’ll be 6 months post op on the 21st.

I just checked fertility friend thinking hmm it’d been a while since my last period.. ladies I was starving and still had my period. Lately I’ve been nauseous and craving salty things...: the last time that happened I was pregnant. On bc. It’s been 112 days and I’m now freaking out!!

Yes but i also had like 2 Water bottles and my pee was basically just water. I’m going to retest in the morning. Hoping it’s not this. I’ll be testing again in the morning with fmu which will give more accurate results. I want another baby but I’m loving going to the gym and killing it. I’m enjoying working on me. And man I can lift a 50 lb trey of cheese at work!! I couldn’t do that before!! I don’t need another baby right now. We’re planning a renewal of the vows and I need to fit in a wedding dress next year!! I’m aming for size 6!

🙏🏻🤞🏻 I will hope for the best for you!!
Sounds like you are going strong with your progress!! Keep it up girl!!
Someone gave me a bag of clothes and they were all clothes I could fit in!! It was an awesome feeling. One I’m not use to!!

Well not knocked up. Just have some deficiencies. I need clothes. But clothes cost money

[Kris77 1,508]

That’s great news!!!
Yes I know clothes are expensive so I was very appreciative of a friend who handed me down a bunch bc it was going to be a while before I could replace an entire waredrobe (I didn’t have ton of clothes before but when you don’t fit into any sure feels like you have nothing)
Don’t get me wrong I am so happy to clear my entire closet and drawers out. Just stinks bc to replace everything takes time and 💰 money. Not sure if you mind second hand shops (resale) but I’ve found things there too. I love going to resale clothing shops. I’ve found some really cute items!! Just a suggestion😊

I’ve been too scared to go to a thrift shop. I’ll be up in salt lake today maybe I’ll stop by one before I come home. I’m down to 1 pair of pants, and 1 bra that fit

[Kris77 1,508]

Why are you scared? Germs?

[Kris77 1,508]

Is that Salt Lake City, Utah?
