Thanks @fit_chickx! The World According to Eggface and Bariatric Foodie also have some good recipes - I just need to make them!

@JamesAztec I know, but sometimes I like to have a shake - sometimes it is easier for me to have in the car on the way to work or if I am craving something sweet. I haven’t found a ready to drink I like, and I love Eat The Bear but they are out of stock on a bunch of stuff now and I like a lot of the flavors that Bariatric…

@loveshoe I feel your pain. 2 1/2 years post op and up 20 lbs from my lowest weight. Like you, I am afraid to never weigh myself or even my food but have found that the weeks where I prepare all of my meals and give myself healthy, but craveable things to eat I can stay on track better. I also found that there was often…

No but curious about their new shake flavor Caffe Amore

@Samquentin this speaks volumes and so relevant to my life right now. I was on vacation for about a week and a half - went to Alaska and got back Saturday night. Today is my first day back at work..I am stressed, exhausted and I went to Starbucks and got a hot tea and as tempted as I was to get a biscotti, I didn’t. I…

@clsumrall1 lots of good luck and wishes for a speedy recovery!

So sorry to hear this - you may find that friends will become resentful but basically out of jealousy - if that is the case you don’t need them in your life, though I know that it is hard to hear that. Is there any way that your husband would be willing to eat more Bariatric friendly foods around you? There are some really…

@buxombrunette so sorry to hear about your t loss. Sounds like you have a lot going on. I think what’s most important is to acknowledge that you recognize the issues, but remember and focus on the positive - the weight you have kept off, you have cooked dinner every night, and that you need to remember that you are worth…

@HLaR79 congratulations that is awesome news!

@littlegibbs62 I couldn’t follow it to a tee - it was WAY too restrictive for me. I did love having my meals all planned - having all 3 meals and snacks planned made things way easier! I didn’t get to weigh this past Saturday (I weigh in “officially” at Weight Watchers). I plan to go this Saturday especially since we will…

@loveshoe my referral code is X752AH. Keep me posted if you get the Peloton.

@loveshoe you should call my sales rep JD. He was awesome, and will discuss all payment options available to you. If you tell him that I referred you (Jen Cavanna is my full name) then we both get $100 to spend at the boutique. I highly recommend the mat for under the bike for $59. You can get their spin shoes for $125 or…

@loveshoe thanks! I have the Apple Watch too and it is very close to the stats I got from the bike. Definitely glad I got my bike. If you ever want to consider it I will send you my sales rep’s info. Also if you use my referral code we both get $100 for the boutique. I used my friends code and got the mat, a new pair of…

@clsumrall1 LOVE the Peloton - even my husband is using it which is great. I have been battling migraines daily since last Saturday but still managed to get 5 rides down

@JamesAztec it’s so true - I think we all put pressure on ourselves to lose a certain amount of weight within a given time frame. No need to add the extra pressure :)

Everyone here has done an amazing job and do not lose sight of how far we have all come! This is most certainly not easy though some people think we took the easy way out. Let’s keep doing what we are all doing and work on improving ourselves even further - can’t get to the gym? No problem..got legs? If so you can walk -…

@loveshoe here are the stats from my 3rd Ride last night. Definitely was feeling fatigued but worked through it. I didn’t work out this morning like I planned - I am exhausted and my body wasn’t feeling like a workout at 4 am. If I don’t get on tonight I should tomorrow at some point

@Kerria1024 maybe increase activity, increase fluid intake? How is the rest of your eating?

@loveshoe I just finished my second ride. Love it a lot and so happy my husband is into it and finally starting to add physical activity into his life. It may be best for me to send you these screen shots as I complete my workouts. Due to “biological reasons” I may not get on a scale this weekend so I may not be able to…

@Samquentin congrats on maintaining and agree that @fit_chickx has an awesome idea! I got my Peloton on Saturday and my husband who NEVER exercises got on it before I did! I have been battling migraines since Saturday, plus it is that time if you will. Had gotten on the Peloton on Sunday and loved it! Trained with my…

@loveshoe ok - not sure I can send a weekly statistic but will send on a daily basis if that is better? Today I am going to my trainer for the last time, so I likely won’t get a class in unless maybe I do a short one after dinner. If I am too sore tomorrow I may skip a class but definitely resume on Wednesday. Will keep…

Today :)

@loveshoe - which stats do you want me to send? Workout stats, or weight loss or both? You don’t need to use your own earbuds but I did buy theirs because I had the credit. We haven’t used them since we have let the audio go without earbuds and it hasn’t disturbed anyone else in the house. There’s a volume button as well…

Which shake flavors did you get? The banana nut bread is good if you add half a banana (but fruit is restricted from the Inspire Diet). The Cafe Bella is my favorite but think once my stuff is gone from BE that I will stick to other brands (Eat The Bear, Chike, Chocorite). Have heard of Fit Frappe but I can’t find it here.…

@loveshoe - me too!! Will let you guys know what I think once I get on it! Saturday can’t come fast enough!

@rll22 first off congrats on having your surgery! I had mine a little over 2 years ago. I don’t recall how many ounces or whatnot but sounds like you may be drinking too quickly. I still sometimes struggle with eating or drinking as slowly as I should. Maybe try taking smaller sips, which I know can sometimes seem…

@loriloftness I thought the same thing but you can finance the bike, along with monthly class subscription ($39) - i had a friend’s referral code which gives you $100 towards accessories. I got the mat, new shoes (mine are 10 years old and I would need to change out my clips), as well as earbuds - it is WAY more affordable…

@garber6th I also bought Lakanto protein pancakes which are good and they make a bunch of different products. These products use mostly monkfruit for sweetener. As someone who suffers from migraines I prefer to eat more naturally. I almost gagged on sugar free syrup with pancakes. Honestly, I would rather have a couple of…

@fit_chickx I did okay for most of the day but wound up getting really hungry. Drank more water to try and offset it but not much luck there but was generally on track..had to tweak what I ate towards the end of the day. My shake before bed came out on frozen clumps, and their Dutch Chocolate Cake isn’t very chocolate-y. I…

@Lizakabibbis for me, some of the shake flavors are bland - the chocolate definitely fell short since I didn’t get a strong sense of flavor - I prefer Eat The Bear chocolate and chocolate pb. I did try the Banana Nut Bread and last week made it with 2% Fair Life milk but it was bland. I made it again today but this time…
