Thank you everyone. It is funny because I didn't see the point in the pictures until I just took two pictures and put them side by side. I defiantly feel so much better and have so much more work ahead of me and I am happy to be given the clearance to be able to do it all again. I am really REALLY wanting to hit my 100…

The first picture is me on 4th of July 2017(393) and 2018 (316). July 2018 I had just finished phase one of treatment and was starting phase 2. The second picture is the first side by side I ever did. The left was Christmas 2016 and I have no clue what my weight was and the second was November 2017 at my brothers wedding…

Hi Everyone. I think I am back. It has been one heck of a year. But I am back at it. As of this morning according to my scale I am 317. Which is not too bad considering I have been in a major MVA and I am now Cancer free. Back on the horse. I am so happy to see all the new faces and plan on doing my best to reach through…

@Mellykay88 You have such an awesome attitude about it all it amazes me. I do agree that you have to put some time into it because that is exactly what works for me.

Good Morning: SW: 305 CW:299 Total Loss: 6 pounds. But for me the fact that I am below 300 and plan to never be there again is huge for me. I am pretty pumped that I have lost 94 pounds and I am close to 100. I want the 100 so badly. I am feeling the need to really push myself.

Good Morning Everyone. @Mellykay88 Such an amazing accomplishment in the 22's. Keep it up. Right after Christmas I purchased two pairs of size 20 jeans and I never remember being in anything smaller than a 22. I also found a pair of Vera Wang size 20 white Chinos on clearance for $5 and they were really tight. But I…

Good morning everyone. How was your weekends? I am feeling pretty good. Still having side effects from my accident that was 2 months ago today. I am tried to keep my motivation and keep going but with the pain in my shoulders and knee it is tough. I have been trying to walk more as the gym is not such an option still. I am…

Good Morning Everyone! I am checking in as I think I am back from my accident. I want to say how proud I am of everyone. Since my accident on January 19th I have managed to still loose 8 pounds which I will take as it is better than a gain. Over the weekend I hit 90 pounds lost and today 91 pounds lost. I made a decision…

Hello everyone. I think I am working my way back. I finally went back to the gym last night. My knee is killing me now but I did 48 minutes of cardio...... which is not bad with nearly 2 months off since my accident. I seem to be having tons of knee problems now. I am not sure if I have over compensated with my legs since…

Hi Everyone!!!!!! I wanted to touch base with everyone. I was in a pretty significant car accident on January 19th and pretty much had my whole life turned upside down, which is why I have not really been around. I have not been able to get back to the gym due to some back and shoulder injuries and other injuries. I am…

@bdferguson1 Welcome to our board. I will send you a group invite as well. Congrats on your success so far. You totally are going to make this year your year. I understand where you are coming from it took me the longest time to actually see it myself. I had plenty of people tell me how awesome I was doing but could not…

Sorry, it has been a crazy few days for me with work and other things. So the cost would only be $500 for my co-pay. My insurance does cover it. As of this morning I am down 83 pounds. I feel being down that amount all by myself with no surgery or specific health program is pretty extreme in itself. Or it is the most…

So, my WL Journey started in WLS Class in July/August of 2017. I did the 12 weeks of classes required by Kaiser and lost 50 pounds by the time I was done and I had fulfilled all of my requirements. After you go for your consultation you get put on a wait list to schedule surgery......well I just got that call. First they…

QOTW Response: I am struggling with a number that is certain. I personally don't see myself below 200 lbs and being healthy. I remember doing a physical in 6th grade and weighing 200 pounds on the dot, this is why I think is why I struggle with being anything lower. Ultimately I just want to be healthy for myself and my…

Good Morning. I hope everyone had an amazing weekend!!!!! QOTW: Let's talk goal this week...............Do you have a specific BIG goal in mind? If so do you break it down in to smaller goals for sanity? Have you hit any of your goals? Do you use a reward system for yourself? If there is anything else goal related please…
