I had the vertical sleeve done on Oct 24th, but I started the process in September of 2016. Granted, I was dragging my feet for a bit, but my insurance didn't require a time frame. But there is a lot that you have to do to be given the go ahead. Most programs require at least one visit with their nutritionist &…

Hi All, My highest weight was 373 - five years ago. Using MFP, I lost 140 lbs in less than a year. And then I met my husband, life happened, we've been trying to get pregnant for two years and the frustration of that has led me to back sliding to the same place I was five years ago. I started a Biggest Loser competition…

Gracious

I think that's a great idea. It's always nice to have something positive to focus on!

I'm in! Doing a Biggest Loser Challenge with some folks in my area that also goes until Turkey Day!

Awesome!!! WTG Dude!

Yep...Lost about 135lbs since April of last year, the majority of it coming off in the first 10 months. Since then, I've pretty much just maintained. I've got all kinds of loose skin. I want to lose another 25ish lbs before I'll be completely satisfied. All that being said, the loose skin might not be the most attractive…

Yeah....I couldn't help myself. All my troublemaking friends did it... And yes, I'd jump off a cliff if they all did, too.

Currently living in NW Indiana, but have lived all over Chicagoland - South burbs, West burbs, North burbs. Never in the city though. I'm too suburban to live in the actual city limits. :-)

My profile pic. Had it done a week ago yesterday. I have two more, but neither are as amazing as this one. :-)

When I saw the topic of this thread, I knew it had to be one of my friends...You're awesome JR. Love ya!

Divorced, but in a fantastic relationship now. :-D

@Christine - the fourth pic - glasses, hair down. Very pretty!!

My best song (at this very moment): "All Your Life" by the Band Perry For my big big sister, Lindsay: "That's What Friends Are For" - Dionne Warwick

I love the cute ones.... lol Does this make me a CCL in training...? ;-)

I'm 5'4.5". Starting Weight: 373 Size: 32W/4x Current Weight: 235 Size: 18W/XL

Again...More proof as to why I adore you.

I subscribe to the theory in your first question. I drink 12-15 cups of water per day. I have a four cup bottle that I bring to work with me. I drink four cups on my hour drive to work. I drink another four cups between breakfast and lunch (usually most of which I drink directly before having lunch). And then I have…

Over 550 sticks of butter. *giggles*

Yeah, sweat is my nemesis. I abhor working out. I started with swimming and water jogging and then progressed to actually going to the gym...Treadmill, stationary bike, free weights.

5'4.5" Gotta count that half inch...Sometimes, it makes all the difference in the world! ;-)

My starting weight was 373. Today, I weighed in at 235.

I had not really noticed that before. But thank you for pointing it out. You pretty much just made my day. :-)

I've got kind of a lopsided smile, huh....? :-)

Okay, I <3 bacon as much as, if not more, than the next guy, but whoa. I think I threw up in my mouth just a little bit.

lmao....True story.

THIS!

THIS! This this this!!! lol

Wait....30 years old with EIGHT children???????? WTF Dude?

You don't say! Thank you so much for the info. I better cut back.
