Hey everyone everyday is a Win..in the baratric world we know everyday we have to either get fluids in, eat enough protein etc, ...what is your win for today? My Win is being consistent on my bariatric journey and movement, I have made it a goal to move almost daily!

We chose to eat at home instead of takeout. The kids really wanted pizza so we ordered a small pie for them and the husband and I went with turkey burgers on the grill with lettuce buns

Win: Today is my one year SERGERVERSARY! I did that ****. The work is hard but I done it and look great!!

pro tip: if you create an album on your profile and upload pics to that, you can add and delete to your hearts content.

(if you want to share a pic in one of said albums in a post/thread, just copy and paste the urls into your post!)

i do this all the time.

Ahhhhh okay thanks for this!

Today's win ?

Returned to weight lifting after what seems like a 200 year hiatus. ?

Nothing extreme or crazy....very light weights with lots of reps. Injury avoidance is key concern.

Other win is the overall feeling like I have things dialed in and the cruise control is activated. The positive feels from this are so welcome. The last 6 years or more have been chaotic and hellish at times.

Things are slowing down and falling into place. Sure the scale is giving lower numbers every week, but the real improvement has been with the pure simplicity of returning to the initial advisements of the professionals at my bariatric center.

@Dub awesome major WIN! glad to see you are back on path. ??

Bigtime thank you.

had been feeling like I was treading water in the surf....waves crashing and pushing under....fighting to get back to surface....now, however, it feels like being in stable boat that is smoothly cursing along out in calm seas.

dumb analogy, I suppose....but grateful as heck nonetheless

A few new wins! I just bought a size 8 ??. Like WTF I was not a 8 even at my smallest. Also I have been able to jog 3 to 4 miles without stopping. It took me a year but I finally unlocked that power and I credit strength training/weight lifting it helped me with endurance and strength to run long distance! Major wins !

Awesome wins right there @Mspretty86

And I am in awe of your jogging, too !

It would take two angry grizzlies chasing me to have me jog…at least until I get a new knee that I abused.

Great job on all aspects. New all time small sizes. That is super.

Congrats.
