I am 3.5 years out. Lost 120lbs and then gained 20 back over the last year doing everything wrong. too much alcohol, too much junk food, too many carbs, less than stellar workouts....days on the couch. You name it. I started January 1 2019... so far all clean eating, bariatric style, and lots of working out. Good luck with…

Hey! I am new too.... I had the sleeve gastrectomy June 19, 2015. I have had a lot of people tell me I CHEATED in my weight loss goals!!! Well, I also had a lot of other health issues. My stomach was a mess, my sleep apnea was out of control, I was borderline diabetic. I was 210 at on my surgery date and I am now 168

I just had mine done June 19. BEST decision I ever made. My doc has us jumping thru hoops to be medically cleared, which is wonderful.... You need to be dedicated to this choice though. The Food part is very strict, and if you don't follow it, or the WAY you need to eat, you could end up miserable. If you REALLY want…

HI! I was hoping to find a thread like this! I had a sleeve gastrectomy on June 19, 2015. I have lost 36 lbs since surgery and I am looking for people like me! I just got clearance to start working out again... which strangely, I enjoy emensly! (no, I can't spell!) I am just now on stage 4 of the diet, and I am still…

Yeah, I am back again too. :blushing: I keep starting, do GREAT and then for one reason or another I leave .... I have learned that if I don't log daily, that I really suck at this "being healthy" thing. I am not making any promises, but I think I will be around for a while! :laugh:

so ... for my first week of "indtuction" I lost 9.5 lbs. I keep saying its water weight...... but I hear that's a good thing because that means my body doesn't need to hold on to all the water, and its processing all the protein, YES??? all I know is that I am having a decent time with it. I still would love a HUGE piece…

I am on Day 4 of "induction" for Atkins. So far I have only had a slight headache......... a few cravings.... OK A LOT , but they are getting way better! I have noticed already I am not feeling and looking AS bloated. NO SODA! UGGH..... My concern is I run 3-5 miles a day, do 30 mins of circuit, or Kettlbell, or weigh…

I did 65 Mins of a workout this morning, and on my 4th 16.9 oz bottle of water! :)

Challenge accepted! ANDDDDDDD since 50 Squats were on the agenda for for today anyways..... I did 50 more WITH my weights! :)

seriously laughing so hard right now! thanks for the laugh! I JUST started a 16 week training program.... Glad I didn't get 13 weeks in to that plan before I saw this post! I can run my marathon this weekend! whOOHOOO! I have seriously done a half marathon with very little to NO training ( SLACKER!), broke my foot @ mile 7…

I run on the treadmill or do the elliptical for cardio.... I lift weights, I also get on my total gym. I love my kettlebell workouts and I set up a "circuit" in my dining room. I call it my dining gym! :)

soooo, don't expect that amount of calories burned all the time! I had a great weekend after a crappy week. I had a killer workout this morning. Mostly because I want to run my 2nd half marathon this spring or summer and I am supposed to be in training! :) Thanks for inviting me to this challenge!!

HEy there!! I'm new, Just got here, but Saturday I burned 873 cals and Sunday 661 cals......

HI! I am here daily! This site is wonderful, and will keep you motivated if you log on daily!! feel free to add me!

THIS!!! First I broke my leg in 3 places THEN I got lazy THEN I got what I called the PLAGUE and was sick for 15 weeks!!! THEN it was the holidays NOW IS MY TIME!!! back at it!! YAY!!!

I bought a fitbit last year around March I think. Used it EVERYDAY until like August, when I forgot it on my pant loop, and it took a bath. Sadly it suffered a drowning death. I CRIED!!! I plan to purchase another one. LOVED IT! it was very motivating... Lisa

I will keep following this looking for answers as well. I HATE, LOATHE, DISPISE any type of fish except canned tuna, and that has to be a specific kind..... LOL so anything chicken pork or steak is good ... but you get bored with the same ole same ole.....

me too!! feel free to ad me!

I'm back too! It should be easier right? We know WHAT to do.... but its sticking to it that is the issue!! :) Lisa

add me please! I just re-set all my stuff as I am just back after 3 months of eating crap and no working out. Lisa

I would be very interested in this!! I will PM you to find out more..... I need something like this!!

I just jumped on the scale and realized I gained all PLUS of my 49 lbs BACK! UGGH. so mad, but it is what it is. Life lesson, just because you get a cold, flu, illness, doesn't mean you can slack off and eat alllll the comfort foods, and never work out again!! I am back on the wagon .... started easing into it slowly on…

I am weird, but I love the smell of my little Dachshunds feet! they smell like fritos! ;)

BWAAHAHAAAHHHAAA!!! :laugh: THANK YOU!! I thought I was the only one! I CLAIM to jump for 5 mins.... it is actually more like 15 mins because I have to keep starting over! :devil: THE JUMP ROPE IS DA DEVIL!!

feel free to add me.... I am on everyday.... and I have logged religiously for about 220 days......... :) congrats on your 240!!!!! :happy:

Love my fitbit. I am a fitbitaholic!! Yes, you will be in competition with yourself... it is pretty neat!

HEy! feel free to add me..... I log every day.... I love MFP, it has helped me a lot with finding what works and what doesn't. I used to do the same work outs as all my friends, and now I have noticed huge results in doing "my own thing" ..... varying workouts so my body doesn't get "bored'

OH... and I work on it each day, some need to take every other day off, but I want to run a half marathon in the fall, so I am following a half program that just gives you distance to run dailly....

I too LOVE the Couch to 5K, but found that the walk time was too much in between running.....which made my legs more tired. I like to run for 10 mins and walk for 1 or 2....then keep going. I had to build up to that though....but if you are in decent shape to start with or have good stamina, I agree.... just go til you…
