I'm 2 years out. Best damn decision I ever made
-
Totally normal to feel some fear or worry. I actually halted my process for 6 months before finally getting over my fear and diving back in. Its a tough process and it can be scary. But the results are SOOOOO worth it. My son is almost two. And I'm not going to lie, caring for him afterwards was challenging. If you have…

I want a warm blanket, a cup of hot coffee, my couch, my dog, the remote, and to binge watch Dr who all day.

Oh and also, because I'm planning on getting a Badwolf tattoo on my arm. and that's permanent.
-
Because I bought a blue Kia soul so I could be my own version of "a Mad Woman in a blue box" Seriously. It was a deciding factor that my car had to be blue an boxy. I'm pathetic.

I was just sleeved 3 weeks ago. The sleeve or any other surgery really is just a tool to help you on your journey. They do teach you how to eat differently and you MUST exercise. You still get proper nutrition as long as you take your vitamins, get your protein and water in, and maintain your portions (which is the main…

May I just say, You are now my favorite person. Ever.

Today I'm a nerd because I bought a T.A.R.D.I.S. Lunch box for my son to take with him to daycare..... And then I packed my lunch in it instead. Its sitting on my desk at work now and I don't want to give it back. Also I might have bought A T.A.R.D.I.S. Backpack to use as his diaper bag and I may or may not have stolen…

I'm biased because I work there, But Torrid is my absolute favorite. I LOVE the way the jeans fit me and they offer a lot of very flattering styles for every body shape. Plus they always have a sale going on. ALWAYS. I also love city chic online and Maurices is another favorite.

So walking on recovery days instead of running might be a good compromise.

There's another thing you might want to consider. If you are doing any type of weight training or strength training, you might be building muscle mass. SO even though the scale doesn't move, you might be gaining muscle while still losing fat. Instead of focusing on the scale, take your measurements. See if you have lost…

YES. Absolutely yes.

You two are absolutely right. I think the problem I am having is mostly misjudging what I am really putting into my body and not keeping a good enough record. I also need to tighten up my exercise routine to more than just walking. I'm pretty active, but obviously not active enough if I'm not seeing the scale move.

It won't, which is why I said I was leaning against it, and as I said I am working on my habits, just came here to get opinions on the subject to help me solidify my decision to not go through with it, which it has.

Just to clarify, I do not view the surgery as a "quick fix" I'm aware that it will take diet and exercise no matter what I decide and I know my lifestyle has to change for long term results. This is something I am working on and have been for the last year. Believe me Surgery is my last resort option. I'm not looking at it…

I'm in the preparatory process with the sleeve. Working on all my pre op stuff. I think I'm still on the fence about getting it done though. Worried about post op side effects. Any thoughts?

OMG this post has me swooning over all my gamer nostalgia. For me it was Legend of Zelda followed by Donkey Kong. Nowadays I'm all about Gears of War, Halo and Fallout. Give me my controller and a case of Dr pepper and I'm set.

Actually working instead of staring at my screen like a goddamn zombie. Damn you MFP DAMN YOU AND YOUR ADDICTIVENESS!

Theoretically you could toss everything into a crockpot except for the rice, cook on low for a few hours to let the flavors mingle, then make just the rice in a pot and throw everything in a bowl. then chow down. Looks delicious.

I have bad knees, which sucks when my favorite thing to do is go running. I know what it's like to have difficulties getting the exercise I need. The BEST exercise you can do if you have body restrictions due to injuries etc. is to swim. It takes the stress off your joints and allows you to get a full body workout without…

yeah, Im pretty sure I wanna be you when I grow up. You are gorgeous! Keep rockin it!

WALK!!!! grab your stroller, grab your kidlet and go get some sunshine. It's good for both you and baby. Plus it gives you time to bond and hang out outside of the house.

I'm all about the sunlight/moonlight. Nature always provides the proper lighting.

Bedroom? You're supposed to do it indoors? Oh.

Granted, but now you are trapped in your house and can't leave. I wish I was able to speak to and understand animals.

There are a few factors to take into consideration. Do you weigh yourself at the same time every day? Do you weigh before or after eating or drinking anything? Had you eaten more salt than usual the day before etc. Your body weight can fluctuate daily anywhere from 1-5 pounds depending on water weight, eating before…
