At least you have come to this realization early on. I'm sure you will be able to knock that weight off in no time. Don't make my mistake, where I have allowed the scale to vanish and mouth to open and workouts to stop and 22 LBs of an increase later in less than 12mos I feel like I'm starting all over again. There's no…

The writing below was posted on my personal blog some time ago. At the point I began the workouts, I'd lost about 49 pounds.I thought I was down to a good weight where I could lay on the abdominal workouts pretty heavily. In three weeks, I've crunched it; I've done standing abs; I've done Pilate's for abs; and I've done…

To piggy back off of BrendaLee's response, I have the damaged stretch marked skin she discusses. I've gone from a high weight of 232 and down to 168 and 35 yrs old. I have very toned arms, legs and actually have what appears to be a 6 pack with saggy and loose skin around the 6 pack :sad: I think my weight has come off…

I'm 5'8 168.8 and don't know what my goal should be. I know my docs still consider me overweight, but I won't to be comfortable. I would love to be in a single digit size after wearing double digits for 10 years (highest weight was 232). I think I want to give myself a cushion where if I put on 5 pounds I won't stress…

you look great. I can relate to the 10 more pounds until you are CONSIDERED healthy thing. I have similar stats "starting weight on second attempt to lose more was at 218 and I'm down to 170 and also 5'8"). I would like to be ok with the 170, but two physicians said the same "10 more and you will be at a healthy weight. I…

I too have fallen off a bit. It's amazing that recording the meals has made me feel more in control. I've been keeping up with my workouts but the food plan, not so much!!! I'm back too:happy: :happy:

will it make you feel better that I had two Grandma lemon cookies and a bag of skittles that were meant for my daughter? I ate well all day until I was forced to go to the grocery store. I'll just count that as my treat of the week and start over:bigsmile:

Congrats to you. Keep at it. I too didn't start to get positive comments until 1) I reached 18-20pounds lost and 2) when I bought clothes that fit. It does motivate you to keep at it. One negative I have abt folks at work noticing the weight loss, they become concern if they catch you on a bad day with a donut in your…

have you tried soy products or is that out too

Although I tried to school myself on my diet post gB surgery, I was very surprised that my surgeon didn't suggest ANYTHING. He only mentioned that alot of his patients who gained weight afterwards is because they had no problems consuming the bad foods (he didn't say BAD). They told me after 2 days, I could resume my…

did you find it helpful lowering your fat intake after your GB removal or did your diet stay that same

Hello all, I had my gall bladder out a week ago. I'm fine, but I continue to try to get rid of the unwanted pounds I had prior to the removal. I try to avoid all the negative remarks about gb removal, because it's done now, although I'm very aware of the challenges many face afterwards. If anyone knows of a good site with…

I'm sure it varies from brand to brand and color, but maple syrup would be a good replacement for light syrup as far as the sodium. Here's a website I found with some nutrientional facts (again I'm assuming it will vary between types of maple (orgnanic,etc)) http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrientprofile&dbid=40
