Just wanted to say thanks again to all of you!! I guess I was punishing myself for a bit, but I believe that I am getting back on track and now I'm back at the gym. Time to lose the pounds again....

I'm sorry!! It has to be hard.
That's exactly why I resigned, I don't want my kids missing me. My father wasn't there due to work and I know how that made me feel, I really don't want my kids to...

Thanks for all the encouraging words! I just feel some of this is my fault for taking the position that caused me to be gone, as well as she works a ton too!
Just feel like I'm going backwards,...

Well the relationship was good before hand, but with the weight loss I got promoted at my company which I thought was good..
But not being home due to the promotion tore us apart.
I stepped down...

Where to start? Had my surgery in May of 2014. Lost over 100 lbs kept it off for the 1st year and a half. Got promotion after promotion after promotion and developed bad habits again. Gained about...

Thank you all for the kind words. Just so much to swallow in such a short time.
You guys are right, just need to keep focusing on keeping me healthy and focus on my children.
Still just can't...

I had the surgery 1.5 yrs ago and everything seemed like it was on the up. Lost over 100 lbs, do more with the kids and a better job. Then October came, a few friends passed away and I took it hard,...

After a year I was down to my goal weight of 180. But I was so skinny you could see every bone in my body. Lol. Who would have thought I'd be too skinny. I'm up to 200 now but I need to lean it up,...

Amazing how much better life can get after the sleeve. If you want it, get it! Life is great!! Much love y'all

Me too... Shaking and hunger. I was told by my primary doctor that I am border line hyper or hypo glycemic. Can't remember which one she said. But a couple times a week I get that shakey feeling and...

I'm so glad to see that you are doing well. I am in the process of learning how to put weight back on, lol never thought that the day would come and I would want some weight back. I eat a lot and...

Sorry that I have not been able to get on as much, my weight loss has put me in a much better place. No more 112 hour weeks at work, I quit that job! Started a new career in the aerospace industry,...

Your body is amazing and weird at the same time. It will do what it wants when it wants to. Don't become fixated on the scales numbers, the weight will come off and stalls will happen. If you mess...

Thank gig that it is not just me. Itchy itchy. Real bad dry legs and cracking hands. I started putting lotion on all over as well as sleep with gloves on full of lotion. Been helping a lot.

The pic I added you can see on my profile!

I could not recall how to add photos so I changed my avatar pic. I am now 180 lbs. more definition in my body than I have ever had. Living life to the fullest and loving it. Going through with this...

It has been a while since I have posted anything. Figured I'd give y'all an update.
I am 7.5 months post out, have had a total of 3.5 months of stalls so about 4 months of weight loss.
In those 4...

You will not fail! Your weight loss will be much slower. Forget feeling comfortable, this is for your health and if you feel like someone is going to judge you just remember to hell with them. This...

Just watching what I eat, sometimes I stray way off path for a day but for the most part I eat super healthy. Then I do cardio every day and a couple days of weight lifting followed by w couple days...

Great job, you beat me by a little! I've lost 114 in 6months. And I agree, if we can do it anyone can! Congrats on your success and I pray that you continue to succeed.
Best of luck and wishes my...

Congrats, keep up the great work!

Relax, this is not a bad thing. I'm 6 months out and I can drink water without constantly sipping on it through the day. I don't have heartburn, I don't eat every 2 hours to keep from feeling sick....

So with just a little over 6months I have lost 114 pounds, can not believe how much my life has changed for the better. Keeping up with my kids, sex life is off the charts, even with the few sucky...

It goes when your body is ready, just relax and enjoy the ride. It's been 5.5 months for me and I've already lost over 100 pounds. One hell of a ride, but worth it. I have weeks that fluctuates with...
