Hello all you August All Stars!!

Today is my 1 year anniversary and I am happy to say that I am down 70 pounds! A year ago I was tired all the time, my legs hurt, my asthma was bad, and I was generally an unhappy person. But today, all that has changed! I thought I would be at my goal by now, but I am really happy with all that I have achieved.

I would also like to take a minute to say thank you to all of you! I have not been on this forum very much in the past few months and I was really glad to see so many people still on here! I could not have gotten through this past year with out reading and re-reading all of the things that you all have posted. I was never a big "poster" even at the best of times, but in my weak moments it was you people that got me through it! So thank you for being an insperation to me, even if I didn't say so before!

I hope that you all are enjoying the "new" yous! Who knows maybe next summer instead of a tankini I will wear a bikini! Is that ok after 35? Oh who the hell cares anyway!!!:w00t:

That is awesome...I have had similar reflections. A year ago there was a completely different me in energy. I am very thankful for this site as at first I had many questions and there were lots of people here willing to listen or give some good advice.

Good luck and I know you will be in a bikini!!!!

(PS we went down the exact same amount...70 in a year...GREAT for you!)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
