Topic: My 8 month pics
So here I am at my 8 month mark, weighing in at 155-156 pounds, I won't claim it in my ticker until I teeter between 154-155. I am still trying to get it all in and am working hard to do so. Some days aren't perfect but I dust myself off and try again. This truly is a constantly evolving work in process, losing weight, because some things that worked earlier now don't as far as exercise goes and I have had to adjust to make sure I stay on the right track. In a way, that reminds me of pre-WLS dieting and exercise, so the more things change the more they remain the same. I know it is a tool and I will continue to work it. Here is a pic of me now at 155-156 and I have others in my photo album. I'm still in it to win it and wish you all the success in the world.

Hey everyone. My RYN was Dec 1st. As I write this I am just sad. Nothing is what I thought it would be. I swore I would never be one of THOSE people that gets the surgery and screws it up and here still I sit screwing it up. I started at 310. My highest which was in July was 324 and I am sitting at 225 and have been here or teetering it for about 4 months. I am into 16s and L/XL shirts but no weight is coming off. I have a huge fear of going to my one year appointment and having to explain why I am still as much as I was at my 6 month appointment. I wish I were as strong as you ladies and some fellas. The will power is gone and after the 3rd month it just stopped "falling" off. I really want to hit Onederland. But I am so discouraged because the flab is so bad. I know if I didn't have the massive amount of flab that I would already be there and be loving it. I have been really just discusted with myself lately. I made brownies for the family yesterday and after making myself sick by eating *head hanging down in pure disgust* 4 of them, I threw the whole tray away. I have no control it seems. I do not eat nearly as much bread as before. I mean I might on a bad day eat 2 pieces of bread when before I would eat 2 loaves but that doesn't help me now. I do not eat ice cream or drink milk as it makes me very sick. I actually have a paper on the fridge of my NO foods because they make me that ill,,,pop tarts, mil**** cream, sugar over 5 gr, whites, breads, fats, and so forth and yet I eat them and don't know why. I actually found myself up eatting oreos the other night. I knew I was doing it. They were so good. Then for 2 hours after I slept in the lazyboy with a bowl contemplating if i was going to vomit. Has anyone else had this I'm pathetic stage hit them in their journey? Did anyone overcome it? How???? I need help!!!!

Hello December losers! Well I am doing good so far I think. Not always easy but I am always pushing. I think our bodies let go whenever they are ready and I can only hope to maintain what I have already lost as gaining is not an option . I don't feel that I am done and I would love to lose more so that I can get to my personal goal (135-145) and my surgeons goal (125). I am now weighing in at 155 poundsand fitting comfortably in a size 6 jeans/dresses and can fit in size 5/6's w/ stretch (OMG! ). I am down 123 pounds since surgery and 130 pounds down from my high of 285 last summer. I'm not at goal yet but I am so close I can taste it.
Even with that said, I know that I am already way healthier than what I was in Dec. All of my co-morbidities are gone and I have the energy that my husband, kids, and myself missed out on for years. Stalls happen and I found that when I increase my exercise and protein I also drop more. Also, I switch my exercise regimen up to not let my body get used to different things. Take care and as always I wish you all the very best.

I cant believe the change in everyone, you all look wonderful! I love my RNY! So far I have met most of my goals, the most exciting one was to wear single digit clothes, I actually got in to a 7/8 jeans, what a wow moment !!!! Congrats to all my December buddies!
Topic: keep on going
just wanted to say congrats to everyone and keep up all the good work. Remember we did not put all the weight on in one day so it will not all come off in one day. I hope we are all a lot healthier than several months ago.
