HOW LONG IT TOOK AND WHERE I STARTED-

I started in November 2017, my appointments went quickly. I was held back by not doing well enough in nutrition classes. My surgery is scheduled for July 25, 2018. That's 8 months of waiting.

You can do it! Good luck!

So, I wrote down my food Wednesday-Friday in preparation for the nutritionist. I decided today that my failure to write the other days just shows how much I need to get in check. So, I cancelled the nutritionist because they are going to say the same things they always do. BUT I have four weeks and four days until my next appointment with my surgeon. According to a chart I’ve been following I should lose up to 30 more pounds by that point. Obviously I’m not going to lose 30 pounds but I am at the minimum end of expected weight loss in a six month period for my starting weight. So, only time will tell friends. I have about four weeks and I need to get my act together! Wish me luck!

Congrats on all your weight loss!

You are doing fantastic. Concentrate on all you have accomplished. Ignore the charts that say you should weigh X amount by this date. Its the fact you are losing weight not the speed.

What chart are you going by? I have my 6 month follow up next month. Finally made it to onederland this week but barely lol. Dr goal is 180 for me. Trying to see if I can get there by then. I wasn't very good in Dec. Only lost 5lbs but that was due to my poor choices. We'll get there!

Keep up the good work!!! You've got this!

This is the chart. It’s just from some random website.

Good news. Didn’t drink any calories for three days out of the last four. Got to keep it up! At least I always get in my workouts.

Here is a recent before and after

Looking fine all of the time!

Laura, thanks for letting us join your journey. I'm hoping you continue it and your weight loss success for a long time.

Well done, what a great job you're doing!

Four out of five days, didn’t drink my calories. Excited to step on the scale tomorrow.

My gym wants to feature me as a successful client on their website lol. To anyone out there reading this, personal training is one of the best things you can do with your body. I’ve done it multiple times and the results are phenomenal. You just get so strong and feel so healthy. Totally worth it. It helps your mood and your energy level and of course your stamina!

I dropped 2lbs! The scale is moving again! I’m 17lbs away from my next goal.

I know I wasn’t supposed to try but I’m waiting to see if I’m pregnant. Also, I got my bloodwork done and everything is good except my alkaline phosphates are high. I’m not sure what that means until feb. 8 when I see my surgeon.

Also, I’ve been cooking with the instant pot since December 27th. I haven’t had any processed food so that probably helped a lot with my bloodwork.
