I remember your before pics. HUGE difference! I also remembering you being afraid that you weren't going to lose too much and you're 10 pounds from goal already!!! Freakin gorgeous!

:) I read sometimes when I'm really bored at work but usually don't have much to say these days! I see you over there with your SKINNY self!!!

I miss you  hot stuff!!! ;)

If you do it slowly, you will know when to stop. Your body will tell you.

Ohhh the 6 pound burrito. THey had an episode about a place like that in LA and I HAD to go (presurgery). 2 of us ate at least 3 times off of it. I actually used to watch that show after surgery and it would make me depressed. I do miss eating large quantities BUT if I hadn't had the surgery I'd probably be riding a scooter so it's a blessing to not be able to eat that much.

two months and you lost 27% of your excess weight. You can't compare pounds, you have to compare %s if you're going to compare anything. So let's say that person who lost 40 pounds in the same time frame actually has more to lose than you do. Like, Elina, her goal was like 110 or 105. So if she started out at your weight and lost 40 pounds, she would be losing 9 more actual pounds than you BUT her percentage would be slightly less than yours.

My 146 pound loss is only 65% of my excess weight, but for other people a 146 pound loss is only 50% or can even be 100%+ Actual pounds don't matter.

All you can really do is focus on YOUR percentage and be proud in that number. You lost over a quarter of your excess weight in TWO months. Do that 3 more times and you're at goal! It'll happen quickly if you stay focused.

There is a girl on here who started at like 390, 370 surgery which is right where I was. She had her surgery AFTER I did and she's lost over 200 pounds. I've only lost 146 (in more time). I can beat myself up or look at the fact that *I* lost 150 pounds!

One more thing, depending on the way you're losing weight, you may be better off to lose less weight by building muscle. It's quite easy to lose muscle mass and then become what we call "skinny fat". You weigh less but you have a bunch of skin and fat and no muscle. I'd rather weigh more and have a more toned and fit body. When someone loses more weight than you it could just be genetic. Some people have certain ailments that others don't and they can either do good or bad for us when it comes to weight loss.

It's just  too complicated. Just focus on your percentages and you'll be fine.

I was terrified that if I ate anything, I would gain weight so I wouldn't eat. 2 times a day MAX and my dr kept telling me to eat 4-6 times a day. My anxiety about it lasted for months. I had no urge for junk food let alone healthy food. Eventually, the more I ate, the more comfortable I got.

It actually made me get more fat. Being called fat enough makes you not want to go out in public and instead stay home... what happens at home? FOOOD! And the isolation you feel makes the food tastes so much better

LMAO!!!!!!! That's hilarious!!! People tell me I look younger too but I feel sad that you can see lines on my face now :( Before the fat filled them out apparently :(

Totally different person!

Damn.... damn.... damn. A bathing suit! Did you ever imagine that day? I'd totally hit it if I was a guy!

ugh... skinny *****!
