I am 33 and started at around 300lbs. I am just over 10 months out and have lost about 110 pounds.

I usually order a double vodka and water, 2 shots of vodka and then fill the rest of the glass with water and add Crystal lite.

For the most part, I try to keep on a schedule. For breakfast, I have 2 eggs, usually hardboiled or scrambled with cheese and salsa. I eat lunch at work and bring 4 thick slices of Boar's Head...

It has been amazing to me how much has changed since I had my surgery. When I started, I was 300lbs and miserable. Everything hurt and even the lightest physical activity drained me. I have been...

If you multivitamin contains iron, you shouldn't take it at the same time as calcium. The iron won't be absorbed

I started at size 22 pants and 2x tops. I am down almost 110 pounds and now wear size 12 pants and medium/large tops. Hoping to get to size 8.

This is my costume.

I have been seeing a chiropractor again. I was in a car accident 2 years that really wrecked my back and he was able to fix. I have been having pain in my lower back and hips lately so I went back...

I am almost 9 months out and have PCOS. My periods have come every month starting with the 2nd month. The facial hair has greatly improved. I haven't taken metformin since before surgery.

On the days when I feel like I am starving, I know I need to up my protein. I have found that making a protein shake will curb my hunger.

She looks great. I wonder how far out she is.

Prior to surgery, I only told my parents, brother, a few friends, and my (now ex) boyfriend. I didn't want to hear anyone's opinion or doubts. Afterwards, I would tell people who would ask my how I...

I am going on a cruise this week, hoping I can drop 2 pounds and reach wonderland before we sail on Saturday. It is gonna feel so good to lay out in a swimsuit and not feel like a beached whale. My...

I have lost close to 100 pounds and still don't weigh what my license says, have to lose another 12 for it to match. LOL. Good thing I never get pulled over.

I started losing hair at 4 months and it was a lot of hair. I started only washing it every other day and using a comb instead of a brush. That seemed to help, if no other reason than I didn't have...

I will when I am at goal weight. I did get the tattoo on my ankle redone in July.

Atheist here. Everything you can accomplish comes from within.

The absolute last straw for me was when I almost didn't go to my grandma's funeral. I was so ashamed and embarrassed about how I look that I didn't want my family to see me at this weight. I...

My 4 year relationship ended while I still recovering from surgery. He wasn't supportive and refused to help me make lifestyle changes. He would constantly bring in fast food, didn't want me to...

I had stomach spasms at around 2.5 months. It was a very intense pain, like a contraction. After a few days, I called my doctor and they said it can happen. He prescribed me something and it took...

@Connie Where in IA? I just came from visiting family in Cedar Rapids.

Thanks everyone! I really don't have loose skin yet, maybe I will once I lose some more weight. My thighs and arms definitely need toning though--they look like cottage cheese in a sock! lol I...

I really don't count calories. I typically eat a hardboiled egg for breakfast, lunch meat and cheese for lunch, cheese sticks and fruit for snacks, and a healthy dinner like seafood or grilled...

I can say with all honesty, this has been a miracle for me. I have lost hundreds of pounds throughout the years and it would always come back once I stopped the "diet" that I had used to lose the...

I was never a beer drinker so it has been easy for me to stick with hard liquor and wine. One or two shots is all you will need.
