We are pretty much not too far off. I've lost 32 pounds post surgery. The majority of the weight I've lost was pre-surgery. I guess that's not so bad either, but I just wanted you to know I think you're doing great yourself. :biggrin:

Believe me, I'm not perfect. I do the best I can, but sometimes those little snackies call me! Especially those little weekend snackies and they are the ones that have noooo trouble going right down!! :biggrin: And of course, it's the weekend...

Stay sweet!

:tongue2:Ha! This is good..at least I know I'm not the only one that suffers on the weekends!:biggrin: I write this after I just came back from meeting friends at a BBQ joint..1 rib, 1 salad, and a couple of pieces of fried okra! Couldn't resist the okra!:crying: Weekends it seems like I can't fill that void..even when I eat the same thing I do during the week..maybe too much time on my hands to think about what I'd like to eat!:biggrin: We will get there..we're strong and have been through too much not to!! :biggrin: Take care and enjoy the weekend!:cry_smile:

:w00t:Ok girls and guys! We are all entering our 3rd month and I know Lil Miss has been so aggressive in her program that she had mentioned putting up new pics!:biggrin2: Well I think we all have done so well that we should follow her train of thought and post more updated pics!:smile: I will probably have some made this weekend to post and I think it would be great if we all just took a few minutes to show how well we are doing and that we are conquering our errors and commanding our own destiny's again!!:w00t: I am so overwhelmed by reading how well everyone is doing!! :biggrin2: It is such a delight to go into this forum on most any topic and see such enthusiasm and positive accomplishments and everyone deserves kudos!! :smile:

That is such a great idea Queen. I'm sure I'm still a good few weeks away from reposting, but I just love to see everyone's progress.

Actually I think I just got lucky:wink2:! So all of you that know how to handle these hi-tech puters help Ezma (and me) out!!:Dancing_wub: Here we unite our knowledge again!!:Dancing_wub:

Okay, I know I still have a way to go but I decided to post them anyway. And don't worry, I know you can't really tell. I have a pretty large umbilical hernia that they won't fix until I lose weight and it sticks out so I hate that. That and the boobs have always been a bit prominent. :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
