There's so many pages on this thread that I'm positive I might already be on here (from years ago haha) but *Right nOw*, I'm motivated to see my pre-pregnant weight for my last baby -- who will be 3 the last day of January. I'm 13lb away!

Goals: Daily (truthful) logging, daily WI, daily IF 12+ hrs, 2 workouts a wk/min 🌲 December Challenge🌲 Highest weight: 347 Current weight: 286.6 December goal: 279 December weight lost so far: 1.7 December 1 288.3 December 2 288.3 December 3 286.6 I could swear I posted this morning. Weird. haha Today is my normal WI & I'm…

Hello All! Jumping on this challenge... I need some accountability. I was doing really well until the Week AFTER Halloween (ugh, candy) & I just need to get back on track. Goals: Daily (truthful) logging, daily WI, daily IF 12+ hrs, 2 workouts a wk/min 🌲 December Challenge🌲 Highest weight: 347 Current weight: 288.3…

I started IF when I was in the early postpartum stage with my last baby. Initially my goal was to make it 6 hours overnight without eating b/c I was exhausted and it felt like I was eating constantly (instinct, I'm sure). I wish I'd found it earlier in my life, b/c I'm convinced it helped me maintain my mental health in…

Dec Start Weight: [288.4* Sat WI] Dec Goal Weight: 273 Ultimate Goal Weight: 147 Dec 1: Dec 8: Dec 15: Sec 22: Dec 29: Dec 31: This is my 1st challenge on MFP. I'm in the process of leaving WW, & I'm looking forward to this as a fresh start.

I started with a 12-hour fasting window, and the first few days I just started in the evening when I felt "done" eating for the day. I'm also nursing a 2-month-old baby & have been finding myself standing like a zombie in front of the cupboards/fridge in the dark hours. LOL I never actually felt hangry at all until I tried…

HELLOOOOO!!! :) I'm a little late to the challenge but I'm so glad to have found y'all. I had a baby 5 weeks ago, after a tumultuous pregnancy. I had been following keto on & off for years (dr suggestion in 2014) & through the 1st 25 weeks of my pregnancy. Unfortunately, my body went kaput and I developed preeclampsia -…

Congrats! You've done a fantastic job. :)

Wow. A lot of know it alls on this thread...

Hair is just flair. Personality & spirit is forever. Man, woman, bald, wild locks...the attitude is what's beautiful & sexy, not the body. :)

I lost my 1st 100# without exercising. But then I hit a big fat giant plateau.

Hi All :) I'm somewhere around 60-90# left to lose, with 120-ish already in the chute. It's taken me forever! I allowed a gain over the fall, about 15#. (I prefer to call it bulking season! ;) LOL) But I'm positive it will be gone by Valentine's Day. Nice to find some kindred spirits.

From pre-op diet through until week 3, I was losing 5, 6, 9!...pounds/week. Week 3 I lost 2. :/ And I can't even eat most mushies or purees even, so I think it's just the body freaking out over this thing that it had done to it. I'm hoping that I can start dropping faster again. I'm more worried that I'm going to stall…

Thanks for the tip! :) I only knew of one CSA in my town, but according to this site there's about 40!! I'm astonished! And a handful of them are literally in my backyard. Amazing. Now to pick one... :)

I'm still fairly new to the game (2-1/2 weeks), but the biggest head game I've got going on lately is the scheduling of eating. It takes me 90 minutes to get a protein shake down (without chest pressure, belching, etc) and then the waiting for drinking water...which I've found much easier to get down these days. But it…

I guess I never really thought about it before, but everyone else already kinda said it... ...it's just life. Not a lifestyle. My sexual orientation doesn't determine what details of my daily life will show up that day. There isn't a "queer grocery" or "queer furniture store". I think it's probably just heteros that say…

I'm 17 days out & I've had this thought since Day 1. I couldn't sip anything without crying for the 1st week. I was on clear liquids for 5 days longer than is normally recommended patients. Once I started full liquids, I could get about 2 oz of protein shake in a day. Forget any fluids other than water. Finally I got a PPI…

My highest weight was 347 in 2007. I lost 87 on my own & stalled in 2009, then regained (2011-2012). I was 308 when I started my pre-op diet on 3/6/13 & 290 on surgery day 3/27. My ticker is only surgery weight (starting at 308). 2 weeks out & 32 # down...is WAY more than I ever hoped for. My next goal is 270 by Earth Day…

Hi! :) I just followed your blog. I also have one at wordpress. It's http://mwrarr.wordpress.com.

I spent 15 months waiting for my surgery, and I was all over the support boards and groups. In the end, the ONE THING I wish someone had INSISTED I have, was a heating pad. I just earlier this week made a new page on my blog just for this topic. Feel free to check it out. :) http://mwrarr.wordpress.com/recovery-911/

Hi All. :) My sleeve is named "Frank" & he was born on 3/27/13 at Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca, NY. I have lost 32# so far, since the start of my 3 week pre-op diet. I'm on a modified pureed diet due to complications I had during my 1st week. I am pretty happy with my sleeve so far. :)

I'm FREEZING all the time now! :) I think that it actually started during my 3 wk liquid pre-op diet, but now that I'm in recovery & down a bunch of weight it seems to be worse. I'm looking forward to summer! brrrrr!
