Hello Everyone!

Thought I'd see who else is willing to check in here.  I will be 9 months out on the 16th and overall very pleased with my progress so far. 

I keep hearing "Slow and steady wins the race" and I continue to hope that is the case.

I never thought I would be 39 pounds away from my goal weight.  When I had the surgery at 282 - 117 pounds sounded like SO much to lose to get to goal and now I am so close.

I've kicked up the exercise big time and have even started trying classes at the gym which has been a kick in the pants!  Trying to really watch my carbs and having NO sugar right now to try to get my ass into ONEDERLAND for the first time in 25+ years. 

The other day I got into a size large dress and a size 14 dress and they fit and looked GOOD!  What a trip tnat was.  Still not in a 14 jean, but it will come soon

Last night I was doing yoga in shorts and realized it was NOT a pretty sight.  Quite mortifying actually.  My arms are horrendous and my thighs are disgusting with all the extra skin hanging - but I can at least cover it with clothing right?

It seems my hunger has come back at times and so I battle with that a bit.  It's hard to not want to snack, but I cleaned all the crap out of the house and that helps tremendously.  I reach for a glass of milk instead most times.

How are you all doing? Are you feeling good?  Looking GREAT?  Check in and let us know how you are doing...

All the best,
Stephanie

to get some of this loose skin gone with some plastics? It didn't bother me in the beginning but as I get closer to goal it gets more and more pronounced to the point where now I'm self conscience for totally different reasons. I always hated it when skinny girls (my other friends that had GB) would complain about that because they looked so good to me...now I know you just learn how to hide it well under clothes, but when the clothes come off...oh boy!

 Hi fellow Junies - I am down 90 pounds as of this morning.  I seem to be losing about 5 lbs per month now, which is fine with me.  I would like to take off another 20 or so, but I'm now 170 so I'm good with that if it stops here.  

I do a whole lot better if I follow the rules, eat my protein and drink my water, all of which I struggle with at times.  I'm so happy I made this decision.  Life is good. 

Thanks alot. 

Hello, My surgery date is June 8th. I have lost 90lbs so far. I have lost and regained the same pound for the last 3 weeks. I'm going to start  a workout routine, hopefully that will jumpstart the weight loss.
