About 20 months I think

WORTH IT$15,000
216 on the button today. Same size large shirts 12/14 pants - Figured I'd check in before Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving! Update on me- struggle with food choices everyday, boyfriend has moved in, he's still very supportive (we struggle together), still want to be under 200 but I don't hate where I am, turned 32 this month... we adopted a cat. Hahah someone posted an old picture of me on facebook on my birthday and it made me sad but also made me appreciate how my body is now.- Even with an extra 16 lbs. Here's the old pic, a new pic I snapped at work- better lighting there and a pic of our crazy cat for fun.

Hope you're all well, kicking butts, etc. :)

So far, Dr. Sung has been great. He's young and somewhat of a newb at this but seems very knowledgeable and has answered all of my questions. He's did my endoscopy and I had a follow up with him for my final review. Seems like he knows his shit. I'll update this when I've interacted with him more. Update 1: Nothing much to add he was nice during the day of the surgery and he followed up the next morning with his PAs. I guess all I would add to this is he's humble, soft-spoken and I haven't had a bad experience with him yet. Thumbs up, Brian Sung! Update 2: I saw Dr. S at my 100 appointment - He seemed proud of his work - still a nice guy - I think he's warming up to me - we even joked around a little :-)

Hang in there, you're doing great. Keep in mind you have to keep chisling away at the daily calories to keep making progress. Gotta watch those simple carbs.
You look great!

Great work hun! I know it's hard to keep up the momentum after a year out. At about 8 months I pretty much stopped losing and remained in the low 190's for a few months. Finally, I got tired of gaining and losing the same 5 and decided to get a trainer and do low carb. It's been a big effort staying on track, and I'm far from perfect, but I'm finally down to 172. (155 is my GW). I'm on a FB page and I see so many people having crazy, drastic results in just the first few months...I didn't really have that, but I'm wondering if it is because i introduced sugar and chocolate back in relatively early. Anyways, you look healthy and happy! Keep up the good work :)

Thanks, and great work!... I was wondering if anyone kinda stopped losing for a long time. My bod def likes being here - and feels satisfied with the amount I'm eating but I suppose I should cut more carbs out. Good luck to 155 we'll get there eventually I hope!

Vacations are hard

LongSleevedShirtAugust 10, 2016
Just got back from a weeks vacation and gained 5-7 lbs. I'm sure I can take it back off soon but just goes to show... This is not a cure - food still happens. Whomp whomp!! I still look better than I did. But I am determined to get to 200 or below. Though it's VERY slow going now. FU last 20 lbs. haha awkward/quick pic in my work bathroom for fun...

TTYL!

I bought Vitafusion MultiVites gummy vitamins @ Sam's Club.....Costco sell them too! They taste like gummy bears fruit flavored candy.....I was having issues swallowing big vitamins.....so I stopped taking.....big mistake! I lost weight fast 58 pounds in 5 months by strict dieting & exercising....didnt think it was important to take a vitamin since I was eating healthy!
Now, I know it's important to take essential vitamins when you are losing weight or on a restricted calorie diet!

Good luck with your with your continued weight loss! Blessings to you for making a decision to live a healthy life! :-)
