125lbs gone in 9mths..W/O WLS.

i think it's possible 2 do but after 20 yrs of dieting (and i'm only 36) and losing 100+pounds over and over and regaining, i knew it wouldn't work 4 me. i used 2 have as my new yrs resolution every year to get on that magazine cover u buy at the supermarket where the women have  lost 1/2 their size. but it never happened.

i'm happy 4 any1 who loses weight no matter how they lose. i hope she keeps it off. shoot, i hope i keep mine off, too.

WLS saved my life. it gave me back my life. it gave me a new life. it's funny, i'm experience all 3 of these statements right now, and i know it'll only get better. so, i thank GOD fo WLS and i thank GOD for my hubby's great insurance that covered it 100%! i would do it again in a second!

My Godmother started out joking that she was going to suffer with me and not talk about food when I had my surgery.  She got so caught up w/ my reading my research and discussing the protein and water that I was consuming that she really did start dieting with me; logging her food...etc.  She lost nearly 100lbs by the time I hit my one year anniversary Postop.

My sister has lost over 140lbs without surgery and has kept it off for over 13 yrs.  She made a choice to make her family healthy and she did it without a book to follow or diet plan.  She stopped buying junk food and eating red meat.  She also started walking.  That's all she does to this day.

I know that I talk to a lady in the gym and she did it without surgery. I'm not sure of the exact number, but I know it was over a 100lbs. she cut out fried foods, sugar, and white stuff. She used to be 412 lbs.
