I'm the same way. I always see the bigger me until I get side by side pics and then I see the difference. ;) You look amazing BTW!

Awww thank you. My eyes have always been my favorite asset, except for my eye lashes lol. I wish those were thicker and longer.

Hehe thank you, I get told that alot. I actually used to play quite a bit, but the name came from an old D&D game I played once with friends.

I love your darker look. It just suits you very well :)

I was in the blue striped shirt holding my dog. Christmas of 2016, weighing in at 325lbs... the 2nd pic was of me August 2018, weighing 210. First face pic was 03/01/17 2nd face pic was 08/2018. Since my 2nd pic I have continued to loose and am now at 184. I am just 36 lbs from goal. Here is to hoping for continued success

Since taking blond hair pic..) I have lost even more weight. I was 210 on that pic and I'm now 184. 36 more lbs to go to goal!! My other pic I was 300.

I actually just hit a mini goal about 1 week ago.. I got to 230 from 325 which is where I started from in August 2017. I want to loose another 5 lbs by march so I can say I have lost 100 lbs. My next mini goal after that will be to hit 220 by april, 210 by May, and 190 by July :) I want to hit onederland so badly and I'm…

To reach 230 by Feb 1st. I was 325 at my highest, 296 on August 7th 2017, so I really want to be 230 by feb.

Would love to join. HW was 325, current weight 240. Hoping to be 230 by feb.

I had RNY on August 7th 2017 so I'm just a little over 1 month post-op now. It's been one wild journey so far and I still feel like I'm not even halfway to the finish line lol. I started at a HW (highest weight) of 325, by surgery day I was 296, as of about 1 week ago I was 263. Atm I'm on a small stall but it's expected.…

Under search I have found a few things. I to am currently prepping for bariatric surgery. I'm going for Gastric Bypass, although I would prefer Duodenal Switch instead. I have gotten all my pre-reqs done (as I'm going through insurance to pay for my surgery) I just have 2 more months of Medical dieting to get weighed for…

Hi there, I'm currently on my 3 month required diet program for qualification so I'm looking at a june/july/aug. surgery date hopefully. Would love to add more people who are going through/ have gone through this already and understands. So tired of people saying how this is the easy way out hehe.

Thank you both. I'm trying.. yesterday I only ate a little over 1000 cal. I know that sounds low, but every doctor i've been to wants me low due to being morbidly obese. My stomach hates it though.. I'm hungry lol, but i know it's because my stomach is stretched out and used to me just sitting all day and eating 2 big…

My doctor has me on topiramate and really the only thing I have noticed with it, is that my hands or the end of my nose will tingle sometimes. That and if your a pop drinker, you will not be after about a week of taking it. Not sure why, but it makes any carbonated drink taste absolutely horrible. Also it does have the…

I would not nec. call it disordered but it does look like that most of the foods you eat are take out. Also I'm curious, are you trying to loose weight, add muscle.. or just get an opinion on the type of foods you eat. If its just opinion on foods. I would suggest less take out, and also.. it's well known that having less…

I agree April, the whole path and new beginning begins and ends with you. You need to be happy with yourself, or it will never be right. Also take this advice to heart.. Never look at the WHOLE picture. Keep that as your end goal yes, but not your only goal. Start small, be proud of tiny accomplishments because they equal…

All this and more. The whole "being defined by this layer of fat" is what truly keeps me going. I'm done with being defined with it. I've been defined by it since middle school. My main ah-ha moment was when I realized that I was actually having difficulty in a bathroom. I would get cramps in my gut from trying to clean my…

well.. everything I read states that eggs and leans meats are the closest you can get to sugar free. Although MFP will still add 1g of sugar per hard boiled egg.. also fish might be an option for you as well.

PCOS here would love to add as friends if you like and give support :)

I do walk, or did until it got too cold and snow/ice kept me from walking. I still have my membership though.. i just have a hard time being alone in public. It sounds ridiculous.. I know. But it is hard to describe agoraphobia to people who don't understand it. The good news is the hubby now has a membership so I'm going…

Definitely not alone. And while I'm not a runner I fully understand how overwhelming it can all feel. Many will say and agree that setting smaller goals is the way to go. Having just one HUGE goal leads to no success I like to say. Break your goal into smaller steps. 10 lbs.. 20 lbs.. Count your calories / weigh your food…

That is awesome.. be proud. Soda can be so addictive... diet or regular!

Thanks for the information Lynn :) I will definitely look into that. And I agree I have no idea how many calories which is why I estimated/used info that was on the food. But I didn't know some of them were only 20.00 :) I will be checking that out soon. And Carbro, I'm glad you could share. It's nice to be able to talk to…

Oh my goodness. I just found your post and I almost can't believe that someone else is dealing with something that sounds like I wrote it. I have PCOS, diagnosed with POTS a long time ago but never had any follow up on it after a few months from diagnoses. But the whole "everything makes you feel dizzy/pass out" is what…

I completely understand that one. I have a huge weakness and it's called Salt and Vinegar chips. Such a downfall for me that I usually just never ever get any, because I know myself and I don't stop at just a few chips!

Always the geek, but hopefully will loose the fat! :)

Welcome to add me. I have 150 lbs I wish to loose!
