Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Week 52 147
Size 8
80 pounds lighter!
My how time flies! I can't believe a year has gone by since my surgery. I feel great. I eat whatever I want. I don't even think about my surgery anymore. It's like it never happened and I am just the size I'm supposed to be and I eat the portions I'm supposed to eat. It's great and I have absolutely no regrets.
I did have to have my gallbladder removed. I have been having SEVERE attacks for many months. The surgery was straightforward and I felt back to normal in 4 short days. A piece of cake!
Technically I'm short of my original goal weight of 140. I look and feel so good I don't really care. I'm hesitant to lose more because I've already invested decent money in clothes that I don't want to get too big for me to wear. I plan to try to lose a few pounds after the holidays because I'm sure I'll need to by then and I'm curious how quickly the pounds will come off if I apply myself but I don't really care about getting to 140. I think 145 is where I'm going to be happiest.

Week 38
Starting weight 227
Current weight 154.5
Size 10
At week 38 I am finally in the healthy BMI range!!! This is a hugh deal and I'm so happy. This is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm healthy and I think I'm a better wife and mom because of it.
It's kinda crazy that I'm still losing weight because I'm not really trying. My protein shake intake has dwindled to one or two a month. I pretty much eat whatever I want like pizza and burgers but certainly not all the time. I do seek out protein and discard the top bun of a burger or sandwich. If I eat chips I try to eat ones with protein like Beanitos or lentil crackers. But it's so nice to be able to eat unhealthy food occasionally and not feel guilty about it and know people aren't looking at me and judging me for what I'm eating. I think I actually enjoy food more now than ever before because of that. It's incredible.

Week 31
Week 31 161 lbs. Size 12
My weight loss has slowed to less than a pound a week. I havent been following the plan so I'm not surprised. If I recommitted myself, I would lose weight faster, I'm sure.
