  • I also had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on Sept. 30. My starting weight was 280 and I am currently at 255. I'm not sure how your surgeon works but mine has this huge group of doctors and specialist that we all work with. I feel fortunate that a nutritionalist is amongst those available to me. I'm sure you know how important…
  • I have added an assortment of friends. Some have similar goals to mine ( I have a total goal of losing 139 lbs.) some are already a success story and some are in the maintenance stage of their journey. I feel that I have something that can be learned from each of them. I am trying to be somewhat selective just because I…
  • I too have high cholesterol that my doctor said through diet and exercise I should be able to get under control. I was also borderline for diabetes, again through healthier eating I should be able to get that under control as well. . I have hypertension which I had to start medication for, too many risks not to. I have…
  • I thought I would need the GPS to track my distance/speed. Is that not necessary?
  • Did you link the two accounts?

I bought this 7 grain pepridge farm bread that is only 45 calories per slice, so I will also have one slice of that with Olivio sprayed on it. Half an apple and old fashioned rolled oats, no milk, just 1/2 tsp of…
  • I log daily, comment on friends posts and make at least one status daily. I too will drop inactive friends. I like to have encouragement and encourage others too. Feel free to add me. That goes for anyone that would like too. I think we can learn from each other!
  • I only looked at your first page. Besides a foodscale for accuracy, you also need to eat at the very least 1200 calories per day. Also your workouts need to be at least 60 minutes, I would suggest 5X per week. Anything less and your just going to maintain your weight. Its always harder to lose weight when you don't have as…
  • It makes perfect sense! If you are using more calories than take in then your body will go into starvation mode and a thallus start breaking down your muscle first. It will start to store fat to protect your vital organs. It's all numbers! I too am working with a doctor to lose weight. Everything is taken into…
  • I have disliked what I seem in the mirror for years now. I too though didn't feel fat on the inside. When I told people what I weighed they thought I was lying. I am was 5'6" and 296 lbs in October. I decided enough was enough after I went to my children's school and literally could barely breath after walking up two…
  • Hi my name is Veronica and I have 100+ pounds to lose! I too am looking for a group of supporters and people to support too!
