I may not be loosing tons of pounds, but what a difference



Recommended Posts

In my albums of photos, you'll see two photos from when I saw my first dr going towards the lapband placement. That was at 256 pounds. I'm currently bouncing between 222 and 224 and I just did my december photos. Check it out... seriously that is the same door, and my butt is always touching the door. So there is no space between me and the door. The before photo I'm pretty much touching both sides of the door, the current one has quite a space I'm not covering :thumbup:

That made me proud. :thumbup:

Terrilynn, you're looking GREAT! It's such a motivator to be able to see such a noticeable difference. The scales don't always tell the whole story. Keep up the good work, and I bet you'll see the scale move soon.

I am the same way. I my scale hasn't been moving in a little while but I am falling out of my size 24 jeans and have moved into a 22. I haven't been in a 22 in I don't know how long...!

Teri, WAY TO GO!!! There is serious space between you and the door. I didn't think of taking my photos like that. That was a FANTASTIC IDEA.

Look, this is a SLOW process. I swear my scale is basically standing still now too. Funny thing is I wear a smaller size, a lot smaller. So even though the scale is barely moving, I am shifting. I too posted some pictures. I hate pics of myself, but it is what I HAVE to do. I found a pic of my face at my top and I wanted to VOMIT.

You are making good choices, you ARE LOOSING, I can see that door, and a lot of it. You can see that changes. Keep your chin up, you are doing a fantastic job. And the ney sayers, we all know why they are so negitative.

Take care, I am so sorry to hear your boys are ill again. Hang in there. Huggs Debbie

I've been taking pictures at 6 week intervals and it's amazing the difference. The fully clothed ones that I'm willing to share with friends and family are not as noticeable as the bathing suit ones. I, like most of us, was not really aware of how much flubber I had on me, but to compare bathing suit pictures from September to the end of December (35# loss) is amazing. I'm going to wait until the end of March now for 6 month pics. Hopefully I'll be just as encouraged then by the additional loss. Keep up the good work everyone.

      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.
