My lowest weight was 212. I had a small regain over the holidays and now im 11 pounds away again!! Once I hit that goal, my next goal is Onederland, something at 528 pounds I never thought I would see!

Going to check out a gym today!!!! 

Happy Wednesday! :) 

I had been stuck at the same spot forever!  I went back to snacking on a slider food (popcorn) that just had too many carbs.

I do best with zero snacks, logging every bite and drinking a lot. I fell in love with the "lose it" app because of how easy it is and that helps me be more consistent.

Anyhow... I'd like to hit goal as soon as possible. 

Sw: 528

Cw: 229

Gw: 175

I food journal daily, try to stay under 50 carbs a day, get close to 80oz of water.  I'm going to start walking small areas with my rollator. I also have a vibration plate for helping with lymphatic drainage and muscle toning. I bought some really cool exercise bands, and got an infinity hoop which I have yet to figure out. Im set up and ready to break through the wall of the 200s to get to Onederland!!!!

Wish me luck!

I had a sleeve revision in 2024. I am now 54 pounds away from my goal weight. I started at over 500lbs!

Its been forever since I have been on here just trying to hit my goal.Hope to smash it out asap!!! 

I had a sleeve revision in January. Original surgery was in February of 2016 and I maintained most of my weight loss. This surgery was to help lose additional weight to see if I can gain mobility and have future knee surgery.

It's slow going. I don't weigh in as the nutritionist said that would be a motivation killer. 

I eat a very low carb diet, need to track and journal more.

I will be getting my sleeve revised to a smaller sleeve.

I'm 7 years out. 

Surgery date Nov 13th.

Starting to get nervous. 

Need help forming a list for hospital stay, and immediate post op time. All I can think of are Dixie Cups lol.

Hw 528

Cw 362

Gw 250 ( for now)

I've maintained a significant weight loss but need to get down to a better weight for my knees.

I'm currently in a wheelchair and I'm hoping with physical therapy and weight loss ( surgery November 13th) that I will regain some mobility. 

HW: 528

GW: 250 

Well, I have been up and down for a bit now, and I do not plan on weighing myself too often as I am trying not to psych myself out if the numbers arent what I want.

I am more consistently writing down water and food breaks, this week I am really going to push that.  I am also planning on joining a gym, something I wouldnt have been able to do last year.  I am still mobility challenged but for $9.99 a month I get one, one hour session with a personal trainer who I hope will put me on the right track. 

So, then plan to break the barrier is to keep the defined meal/water breaks making sure that I eat and then have water intake for a few hours before eating again.  I think the frequent meals/snacks were due to eating things like jello, and pistachios which werent protein dense leaving me feeling unsatisfied. (so also need more protein rich snacks) Food journaling is key, I will keep up with that, start wearing my FITBIT, Keep the house tidy so that it doesnt depress me (not easy with teen boys!), and work out at least 3 times a week to start. :)

I am very excited and I do not want to let FEAR run me as it has my whole life.  I am already stressed about male attention when it comes my way and I worry about being attractive or thinner due to my inability to protect myself if need be. I was already injured a few weeks ago when I went out and an older man wouldnt take NO for an answer when he asked me to dance.  My knee was out for two weeks and my back still feels tweaked. (I can do forward motion but not standing in place, dancing is above the level im at currently)

My goal hopefully by next summer is to be fit enough to enroll in the kickboxing class so that I can learn to defend myself and hopefully rid myself of the "need" for this protective fat suit. Mentally I have done all the work with my therapist, now I think when I can physically feel confident in protecting myself it will go a long way toward relieving that stressor. :)

Hope everyone is doing great.  I feel like I am losing again, and I am just going to keep up what I am doing and try not to worry about my numbers or watch other people's numbers as this is NOT a competition. (but man, do guys lose fast or what?? lol)

I was doing great about 20 pounds down a month when suddenly I was only losing a few here and there and some weeks even going up one. :(

I posted the question to see what others might have to say and it seems that my protein is low! BINGO!! Finances were horrible and I wasnt getting enough veggies or my protein count in so I was constantly hungry, worrying that my sleeve was ruined, in a horrible mood all the time, mood swings you name it.
I started right back to almost no carbs a day and although I am having the sleepies which I also get going back to basics, I know that i'm already feeling better and I was hardly hungry at all today.  My sleeve worked tonight when I was eating dense protein, suddenly I was full and couldnt eat anymore. YAY!!

Started my new job today, first job I have had in 10 years.  Difficulty with this is NO eating or drinking at all in the vehicle so in four hours that is a lot of time with no food or water, I was very dehydrated today.Other than that it was amazing to feel like I had a purpose.  I made myself get up and "get ready" this means not just throwing clothing on but actually getting ready and looking presentable with makeup and all. So far, so good.  I dont think its probably a forever type deal because its not much for supporting a family but its totally a step in the right direction being back in the workforce again. :)

And..after a few weeks of not feeling good I finally pushed and made church on Sunday.  So this was a week of beginnings that will after time be new positive life patterns. 55 modified situps today!! Im getting there, and this was at 6am...so totally happy I made it.

love to all the losers out there :)  God bless :)

I am down 3.2 this week and finally closing in on the 200 pounds down since last year...that will include pre-surgery and post surgical weight loss.  I am 6 pounds away from that next goal!! After that I will be 29 pounds from the 200s!!!
So really looking forward to the 200s, and being able to buy clothes, exercise more, have fun.  Today I went to a plus sized mens store and got a few items which was nice because I wasnt needing to buy SUPER sized clothing.  I wasnt even in plus anymore at my highest weight I was buying super sized clothing which sucked. Looking forward to trying to do this part time job of driving!

Lots going on, more later its late....

New weight something like 334.8 :)

August started out being an excellent month of weight loss!  I was thrilled with the results and was an all time low for weight.  Then I had my sons graduation, two near fires in just one week in our house, fire dept called the board of health, house was condemmed (upon an upcoming meeting) and the weight started coming back. :(  Add to that being stressed about finances and almost everything in near shut off and Im losing hair and gaining weight.  I had lost over 10 of my pledged 20 for the month of August and ended up gaining 9 of that back. 

As of this mornings weigh-in, I have relost all of that weight plus .2. :) The house is being worked on almost daily and Im trying to keep up with rest, waters, and vitamins to slow the hair loss which is significant when stressed. New lowest weight is now 338.2. Happy to be back in the land of the losing, last week's lost was 1 pound, so four pounds down in the past two weeks.  I had pledged 15 for this month, hoping for good numbers in the next two weeks. 
Prayers appreciated for job opportunities with my limited abilities and a solution to the finances. :) Thanks all for your continued kindness and support on my journey! :)
