Thank you! Lots of hard work...and it isn't over. The mental challenge continues and I struggle some when old eating habits try to resurface! You are very welcome! You've been there from the get go! Thank you for being so inspiring! I'm proud of you!

Thank you!! yeah, my brain and I duke it out often. Same experience - how was I ever that big...I am that big...
-
Thank you! I feel much better physically. I still struggle mentally - many days, I see my former self in the mirror. Thank you so much!

Think meats and cheeses; not sliders or carby foods. 2-3oz of chicken or lean steak will stay with you longer than yogurt, mac n cheese etc. Some don't find shakes sit long (keeping you full) in comparison to dense protein.

Fantastic! Congrats on your success!

My kids keep doing the same. They don't recognize me in older pics!

Wonderful transformation! I always enjoy reading how active you are!

Thank you! Yea, i don't mind my collarbones so much. But I was trying on some lingerie yesterday and the ribs sticking out at the top of my chest, those kinda grossed me out. I told one person that no one, including myself really knew what I "should" look like at a healthy weight, so it could be jarring or different for…

Yes, Thaeda is our wise one! New name, Mrs. Owl. I have been bingey a lot in the afternoon or evening. I have that afternoon snack and want more. So I wait, it should be time to drink water, then I eat again. Sometimes, repeat. For the most part, the one thing that really helps me is to NOT keep the bad foods in my house.…

Thank you everyone! I stopped by my bariatric office for vitamins yesterday and asked for a weight check. Fully clothes, post breakfast and 35oz of water, I was one pound from goal. Woke up this morning .4 away. I have 18% body fat now, which is amazing to me. Unfortunately, it's below normal. Not sure if I need to worry…

For me... Discovering a new me, not just a body I've never known (holla collarbones!) But figuring out who I am with new confidence Not ruining shirts with fallen food. My husband used to tease me that I'd drop something every time I ate. I blamed it on food hitting boob and stomach before it could find the plate. Nothing…

Now you must do it, Rob!!

Wonderful job!!

Wonderful!

Thaeda - that was wonderful. I've had a few eff it moments. But they are nothing like the past. I'm talking a 1x1 brownie at a party, when I would have had 4. Or getting a 3oz low fat froyo with fruit rather than loading my bowl with chocolate full fat and topping it with a ton of candy. Or ya know, eating a while quest…

That has been tripping me up lately. I'm smaller than I ever was, and dropping sizes. Kinda hoped my 12s were gping to fit for summer, but they are falling off. I am 7lbs from goal, then will allow a 5-10lb fluctuation because I'm hoping to gain muscle. But....i find myself questioning whether Inshould get rid of the 12s…

Carbage - I love it Thaeda. You are not alone in this. I am now at 10lbs to my goal at 7 months out. Over the last month, things have slowed down - but I was also allowed to introduce carbs again. I don't think I've gone overboard (I haven't had pasta yet, 2 forks of rice, 1 bite of mashed potatoes) but - I've allowed…

Glad this rose back to the top. I saw my gynecologist Monday, and totally skipped my cycle due at the beginning of the month. She said that it was OK, that as noted, the hormones could be telling me I've lost enough weight. If you think about women who become anorexic and stop all together, it makes sense. However, I still…

Wonderful!!

Fabulous!

Thank you, thank you!

Thanks. My HDL came up 10pts, but my LDL came up so much more! NP today didn't seem too concerned. Just completely weirded me out! Hoping a little oatmeal here and there and more veggies will help!
-
I'd be down for taking the rest of my spare tire and reflating my boobs. I keep saying my collarbones are thin enough! And when people tell me I lost enough, I just place a hand on my tummy, and say thanks, I only have a few more pounds to my goal. My husband has reminded me that I'm almost 40 and have 2 kids, so my…

I sold a few items on a facebook page, gifted some to a fellow vsg on instagram and donated three huge boxes of my clothes. Some nicer work suits I am going to consign. With exception of undergarments, one pair of jeans, and a new outfit for job interviews, I've redressed and redonated from 2 thrift shops.

Yes, I knew it was important. I keep looking for other casual pics to use as before pics, and there aren't many. I either deleted them or took pics to avoid being in them. Now, I take selfies and ask my husband to take pics of me from time to time!!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!!
