Wanted anyone following to know right away. Surgery was successful. I had my diastasis recti repaired, my stomach and abdomin thinned out and packed flat, same as on myback... as well as my pubic area!(sorry if it's TMI, but it's arguably one of the most IMPORTANT and delicate areas...) and upper thighs.. I'm so excited!!…

Alright. So it's been a little while, I just turned 30 2 days ago.. and my present to myself is my first round of loose skin removal surgery which is on October 11th. Just a few days to go.. it's absolutely crazy to think I'm to this point. I've had a lot of issue this year and I'm not quite where I wanted to be for this…

Thanks, I actually had talked to my endocrinologist and she had said letting and Grehlin issues are still very new. There are no real tests or even treatments for them as of yet since they're still in the trial phases of things for figuring them out. I'm hoping eventually I'll be able to get some idea of what drives my…

Thanks! That's so kind of you to say 😊 wishing you luck on your journey as well! Have an amazing week!

Ok. Time for a little update. I stepped on the scale a few weeks back and the total gain was around 40lbs putting me back up to 308lbs. Weighed in last week at 296 so we're back on track. I had a consult with my surgeon on the 12th and we decided it was a good time to go for my first loose skin removal procedure I've been…

Had a bit of a stumble. Feel free to add me while I try to make signing in and logging my meals a part of my daily schedule again 😝

Thanks so much, I'm actually trying to fix the aftermath of seeing that nutritionist. I ended up justifying the low calories and it made me ravenous.. had my first ever binge eating episode and got so angry and frustrated about completely losing control.. having cravings dominate my will.. that I spiraled for the month and…

@mmnv79 Thanks for the heads up, I'll need to check that out. And I'll do my best to remember to check in every now and then!

And you absolutely will! Keep at it and stay strong man!

@speyerj wow I've never met somebody else who has the same issue as me. That's exactly how The hunger feels, I haven't found anyone else that understands or has felt anything similar. It's actually really nice to find somebody that has the same issue, but also very sad. I hope you've been able to deal with yours better…

Hi thank you so much for asking! I've been doing well I had my appointment with the nutritionist. Unfortunately, he put my calories very low and wasn't willing to adjust them or listen to my concerns. So I won't be going back to him. Our relationship is a bit awkward, my mom is very strong-willed but she's also very…

@Ironwoman1111 Wow thanks so much, that's so kind of you to say.. I'm certainly trying to learn to smile more. 😝 I hope you have a great day!

If anyone is interested, I was fortunate enough to be a guest on The Fat Guy Forum podcast. It was posted earlier today, it touches a little on my life, my weightloss journey, and how it shaped me into who I am today... I was pretty nervous, so... Sorry if I sounded a bit out of it 😅 Just search "The Fat Guy Forum" on…

Feel free to add me ☺️ good luck on your journies!

I am not a huge motivationally driven person, because motivation moves my heart and not my feet, so I just have my mind set on.. "it has to happen if I want the results.. I just have to do it". That may not be helpful, but it's what makes me keep going. At the end of the day, even your motivation depends on how much you…

Hello, thanks for asking. I hope you're doing well! I was actually on my way to post a little update ☺️ unfortunately I hit done on the top right instead dog post.. so time to retype it lol. I had my endocrinology appointment, her thought is that I may be pre diabetic. I was shocked to hear I had never been tested for…

Congratulations on the remission! Take things slow and make sure to stay hydrated! You got this!

23? 🤔

My unidentified hunger issue. No matter how much I eat, how little I eat, how often or how infrequently. Meals only, or snacks included.. high/low carb, high/low protein and everything in-between.. I feel like I haven't eaten at all. I've felt this way my whole life and nothing seems to change it. It's only in the last…

I need my glasses

LMAO

You got this!

I sometimes question what im about to eat.. do I need this? Can I work it off? Will this be the only one? And sometimes I get the advice that I grab a water to drink instead of eat. For me, pre logging doesn't work simply because I can just change it. If you're like me then I try to leave a little extra on the plate…

I really wanna wear a shirt and have it not look draped over my legs XD my legs are so much slimmer than my torso, so I kind of have the same shape as Gru 😂. Getting down to a 1xlt shirt is my current goal!

3000 calories to loose 2 lbs a week* didn't see that mistake.

Hi, you're doing great. I've got lots of help from the community in the short time me I've opened up. Stay hydrated, that's a big thing that I'm still working on myself. Take it slow and find healthy changes to your meals that you enjoy. That way it's not a chore and you'll be less likely to avoid it! Add some friends. For…

My coach always says it's not a perfect system.. but take your weight, cut it in half and that's roughly the amount of water in fluid ounces you'd want to drink daily. Correct me if I'm wrong please!
