I'm not shooting for any particular weight. I was so heavy for so long that I have excess muscle mass, etc. I'm just going to go by how I look/feel.

AWESOME!!

Refinery 29 always has hair posts - lots about what to do with your hair when working out depending on the type of workout. I don't know what I'd do without them. LOL

Will you lose 40 pounds by August? Probably not, but you can sure work hard and eat better and TRY. Your best is all you can do.

I was the fat kid too and your grammar is fab considering how long that post was. Sending FR.

You go girl! Keep on killin it!

There is no way in H-E double hockey sticks you are obese. Like others said, get a body comp test if you really want to know. Probably just need to cut back a little and hit the weights.

You are beautiful, so I agree, he's probably really insecure. There's nothing you can do about that. He has to fix that on his own. Unfortunately, he probably won't and you'll have to decide how much you can take. I did have one friend who was jealous of my success, but she came to me and told me. We talked about it and…

Do you have gas strips or chews or anything like that? You may want to ask your doctor for an acid preventer as well if you aren't already on one.

I hope to have a profile pic worthy booty someday... Yay for all of you that have them now!

Take a Biotin supplement. I actually just bought some dissolving ones yesterday at my local CVS because I'm afraid of my hair thinning as well :)

Have you talked to your diabetes doc? I'm diabetic too and my doc cut my meds way back during my pre-op diet phase.

Your surgery day is the day I can start eating solid food again :) I'm at 3 weeks post op and I have no regrets. I was a lapband to sleeve revision, so it was a little more intense - 2 nights in the hospital - but so far so good. I'm down 26 pounds since the first of April and less than 10 pounds from my lowest lapband…

I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could too :) Best of luck to you! You can do it!

What a sweetheart! Give her a big squeeze from me! :)

That shirt is perfect! Go you!

I have bad knees. Hurts terribly to kneel on anything. As others have said, let your instructor know and he/she will likely have modifications or suggestions on how to get the most out of it. I can say though, that when I did yoga briefly, the pain of kneeling got less and less and I kept trying. Wish I hadn't stopped…

@littlelaura - Toni Collette! I love her!

I clean something, create something or go to bed.

37 and look and feel way better than I did in my 20's. Thanks goodness!

Dude was a total a$$hat for sure. I don't know where you live, but my recommendation is to find a Luke's Locker or a Run On! if you have one near you. I went to both when I was 300+ pounds and didn't get a roaming eye or a flinch :) Best of luck to you and always remember, Karma's a b!tch! ETA: And your husband is the…

Not drinking enough water causes dehydration (could be minor, but dehydration all the same). Dehydration causes fluid retention. Drink your water :)
