Ok, summer is over and it's time to get back to a regular routine. My October goal is to get back to walking I'm beginning this tonight with neighbor who is training for a ti-athalon so I know I get...

Lauren,
You look terrific. It doesn't look like you need to lose the additional weight but you know your goal and your body the best. I, too, was a year on July 28th, I'm about 4lbs from my goal...

Yes, I see that I'm not alone here. I, too, weigh myself every morning. After I go to the bathroom, naked. It helps me see what I have to do for the day as far as eating. I'm only 6.5lbs away...

WOW!!!!!!! You started out at 501lbs? Not doubting you, I'm just amazed and very proud of you. You look awesome. You probably feel like a different person and your insides are probably feeling a...

Well I'm finally catching the challenge at the beginning of the month.

Current weight: 153lbs.
Monthly goal: To get to my goal weight of 143lbs. Weight lose 10lbs. Get back to my walking of 4-7...

Buddy, you are doing awesome first of all. I'm wondering, as I read these comments, we have all experienced the baggy clothes when we were heavy folks. Now since we are losing weight we need to...

Thank you for the reply. I was just curious. Have a great April challenge.

why are you drinking soda?????????

Isandie, I see that you put good job after your comment. That is only good I would say if its in the Protein column. Carbs, no, calories, no, sodium, no. If I understand what you are saying? Is...

Also, I'm from Mt. Pleasant and love my sleeve. It's a wonderful tool. I've only got 13 more pounds to go.

Dear Chris J

As far as I know, Medicare does not pay for the sleeve. That's what was discussed at one of my seminars.

Just take a look at yourself and think I like looking like this. If someone ask me why I'm not eating something that looks really good I just say "I don't eat those types of foods". I, too, have...

What is a buddybug and where can you buy one at? I use myfitnesspal.com and I input my exercise and it comes up with calories burned but one of those would be great just to compare.

Hi Mirza, I, too, use myfitnesspal.com. The thing you need to remember is the site does not know that you had bariactric surgery. it's a great site. it tells me the same thing. You need to...

You have to incorporate exercise into your journey. I just helps you feel better. I change up my routine each day. I walk 4-7miles a day, I run 240-360 stairs and I also ad running along with my...

Carrie, I'm so very proud of you. I had my surgery July 28 and I was at 243 and down to 167 so I'm pretty close to you. The closest I've found. I don't regret a thing and I'm too now down to a...

Yankegal, sorry to hear of your problems. About how many calories are you getting a day? You may not be hungry due to a little bit of being in starvation mode. I'm just guessing. Have you tried...

Hi there, I will 6 months out at the end of this month. I still lose about 1-1.5lbs a week. I continue to exercise. That's what helps. You have to fit some kind of moving into your schedule. If...

This is a very good question and I hope a lot of people post to it. I was not an exerciser prior to surgery. Walked a little bit getting myself (legs) ready for after surgery. I love to walk now,...

Shellnsons, I really can't say that I've had a big bad stall. That's why I check my weight everyday to see how I need to eat that day. I think checking the scales has been great for me. I don't...

Kay, about exercising, I find that if I wear nice fitting and nice looking clothes to work out in it's a better reward. Don't wear baggy clothes. Put your make-up on and go to the gym looking like...

Thanks everyone for the comments. Continue to look at yourself in the mirror as well. We all look great. We look fabulous. The clothes keep getting bigger. Try your hardest to make time for...

My journey continues with great success. Ya know how when you go to the mall or the gym and you see someone and say to yourself "I wish I looked like them". Well, I'm becoming that person that...

Hi there, I started losing my hair about 3-4 months out. My dr recommended Hair, Skin and Nails. I started taking them in about a month my hair has stopped falling out and my skin looks great. I...

I started losing my hair about 3-4 months out. My Dr.'s office told me of a product called Hair, Nails and Skin. Purchased at Walgreens but it is available at Walmart as well. It does have the...
