Thanks for the site. I dislike when people say it's normal, but it is. I went almost 3 weeks about 30 to 40 days after surgery. I had surgery on July 7th. I increased my water and walked a little more to help me get past it.

It was like a job for me in the beginning, but it's gotten easier.

I tried the skim milk mozzarella cheese crust pizza with turkey pepperoni. Not doesn't burn and the bottom is hard just like a pizza crust. I found it on Pinterest.

I had vertical sleeve on July 7 and it's the best decision ever. My highest weight was 237, but I am only 5 feet tall.I also was diabetic, I haven't taken a pill for diabetes since my surgery. Everyone's journey is different, but I don't regret it for a minute. You still need to eat better and workout because the surgery…

:heart: Thank you. Gotta thank my mom. Everyone thinks she is my sister and finally getting in shape isn't hurting either. Now that my head is the size of California. I am going to bed.

I don't even know you, but I so love you!! I will be the big 40 this year.:happy:

30

My highest was 231 and I am only 5 feet tall. I am down to 205, with a goal of 150. That is still alot for 5 ft tall, but when I get there, I will be close to my high school weight of 120.

I agree. Another example is moving. I helped a friend move boxes to a 3rd floor apartment. When I put down 1 hour, it said I burned almost 900 calories. I thought that was just too high, so I lowered it to 30 minutes.

I am 6 to 7 pounds away. I am trying to hit it before the end of the month. It is just a number, but I haven't been on the other side since the mid 1990's.

Unless you are 100 lbs over weight, it's probably not very realistic. Initally you may lose that much because of water, but difficult to maintain and it may become discourage. Determine how much you want to lose a week and go from there.

Sort of true. Any activity will make your burn a few calories. To get the most out of an aerobic exercise, do light weights after and your body will continue to burn.

I am a big fan of Leslie Sansone's workouts. She is a little corny, but so am I. I enjoy her workouts as much as I enjoy Zumba. Since I've stopped losing, I've starting jogging in place when she walks. I think it bumps up the exercise some.

My goal is 6 days a week for no less than 20 minutes.

I have 40+ to lose, but would love to add you.

Absolutely. I am all about Qdoba. I've tried Moe's and I don't like it. I've tried Chipotle and it's ok, but I love love love Qdoba.

From an old southern black lady. I wear a size 7 shoe. I used to wear a 6 to 6 1/2 before I gained my college 50. A lady said to me, "baby, if you get any bigger, your little feet won't be able to hold up your body." :grumble:

Makeup was made for me. I look ok with it, but I don't wear it often. I'm not the worst, but a long long way from hot!

Love a chocolate protein shake w/ a couple of cherry's and a little flax seed add crushed ice and skim milk. It makes me think I am drinking a milk shake. Yummy! Love it. :love:

Hello, please feel free to add me. I was considering weight loss surgery a couple of years ago, I had to go through a class as part of the insurance requirment. Well, that class gave me the inspiration to try it on my own. It's been slow and up and down, but since finding this site and app on my phone, I have been heading…

I am in. I want to lose 60 to 70 lbs. Even though I should lose more based on my height. :sad:

Congratulations! You are making a great decision. This site has helped me. I've only lost about 3 lbs since joining, but I've learned so much. In the past year, I've lost 25 lbs. Stick to it and welcome!

Have you tried this in a crock pot? Do you think it would work.

Thanks! I have wantged a recipe for torilla soup for a long time.

Thanks.

I love the sunglasses.

I am in. I need all of the support I can get. Please add the reminders.

All of thee above and to gain some "flexiblity" for my husband. :blushing:
