Things You've Done Since Losing Weight



Recommended Posts

I LOVE this list! A new driver's license? I just stood up and applauded that one. Wearing high heels, going back to school, learning new things, giving up prescription meds, breathing independently... I am so, so impressed.

My new business was started by women and run by only women. I went to my first meeting, where I met the most amazing, professional, upbeat and POSITIVE women in the world - simply empowering. I wanted to be one of them, so I signed some contracts and plunked down a nice investment. I'll have my new company e-mail set up in the next week, but I won't have my website up for three months. "Lingerie, novelties, books, lotions, edibles and devices." Yep, toys, too! Only it's all done in such a classy, tasteful and fun manner that I can't wait to get my inventory (next week.) Let me know if you want more info and I'll PM you.

NOW I AM ONE OF THEM! There's no way in hell I could have stood up front of women doing presentations at my old weight. Now I stand in front of the room feeling like this enormous powerful brilliant sexy woman, and it's all about attitude. If I can feel hot and sexy at 250, anybody can. My French and guitar are coming along, so what will I do next year?

Great thread idea.

I have:

1. Floated down a river in Dominica. Before weightloss I wouldn't have even dared put on a bathing suit and float for almost two hours with complete strangers. I had the time of my life.

2. Swam with stingrays - again, the bathing suit issue. No problem this time. I was out there!

3. Spent 16 days in the Caribbean and didn't feel like a sweating, stuck pig.

4. Smiled at the camera for the first time in years.

5. Even allowed my picture to be taken!

6. Didn't worry if my belt would buckle on the airplane.

7. Looking forward to getting a new DL picture.

8. Told my husband what I weigh (I'm no where near goal, but for some reason my weight isn't a big, dark secret any longer).

9. I smile more.

10. I'm off my diabetes meds.

11. I have hope.

Pretty Good for a 54 yr old GM who was never atheltic in her life before...

2 yrs ago on my last cruise could barely walk the length of the ship and ALWAY took the elevator no matter how long I had to wait

This year took the stairs 95% of the time - walked the ship - even hit the gym - Had more energy that my 18yr old GS...

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
