Hi Everyone! New to the community but happy to follow along with everyone on their journeys as I work through my own. A little TL;DR of my journey: I started to really take my health seriously for the first time in College shortly after I met my girlfriend of nearly 5 years now. In 2019 went from 487 to just over 400…

Hello... I am ready
Sometimes it would be nice to be able to go back, talk to our younger selves, and explain how our eating habits will catch up with us. I know full well that I wouldn't listen, so here I am today. I'm 56 years old and the habits from my past have caught up with me. I am over weight, have high blood pressure with a high…

Journey To Lose 300+ Pounds....

So today, I start my journey to what will hopefully be my final journey back to the way I was and the way I know I should be. Each day, I will post the positives, negatives,…

Hit my first mini goal today!
I've lost my first 20lbs! 21.6 to be exact. I even broke out some of my "what if pants" and was able to wear them. I cut almost all carbs out this past week and learned my body loves sugar and carbs if I eat just a small amount I maintain or gain weight. I'm going need all the motivation I can get because I love carbs 😁…

Reassurance and Motivation
I’m 5’7”, 272 pounds, and in my early 20s. I know I need to lose weight, and have spent this week coming to terms with my size and making diet and exercise plans.

Week one down and no lose 😭
Feeling frustrated already in getting back on this plan. I kept my calories close or under the suggested daily intake and I didn't lose a pound. I figured I'd at least lost a little, even a quarter pound would have made me feel a little better about. In the past I would have lost a little, the only thing that's changed is…

Not meeting minimum nutritionals
So I created a new WLS group but we only have three members so I'm going to ask here. I am 3 weeks post-op from having a gastric sleeve and I'm only able to 'eat' about 600-700 calories a day. I was wondering if anyone out there might have some experience with post-op weight loss stalls after surgery and how caloric intake…
