  • Thank you, all! Very helpful. I absolutely am working on nixing sugar and crap carbs. @Kimcam07 during my pre-pregnancy glory days, I did a weightlifting routine in my garage every other day, which really made a difference in toning up. I lost about 10 pounds over the course of a couple of months, but also and more…

  • Me too! I had surgery in Feb 2014 and did great. In Sept of 2015 I got really on the ball and started lifting weight and hiking regularly and eating very carefully (low carb, high protein, veggies, fruit - little to no crap. Lost ten more pounds and dropped a pant size or two. Then got pregnant and gained 20 pounds. Lost…

  • Hiyas! I was sleeved on 4/21 and though things have been going really well (actually, VERY) I'm lately struggling with compulsive eating thoughts/desires. It's haaaard to deal with these things. Also, I am recognizing that I need to get more friends (I love outdoorsy stuff but my small circle of pals do not - it gets old…

  • I'm right there with you - and my surgery is this coming Monday! Been having a few days of, WTF, I can TOTALLY do this on my own. But the reality is that I haven't been able to maintain any significant weight loss, ever. Lately I'm really mourning food. The hubs thinks I'm starting to get anxious because the surgery is so…
