Question for the ladies and Update! (long post w/ pic)

thank you :)

Don't be hard on yourself.  Your doctor won't hold you responsible for a smaller loss when you had no control over your intake.  The weight will come off.  Just give it time :)  Besides, my first month was also slow.  It took a while due to the swelling and water retention.  13 lbs may not sound like much to you but it's actually great progress.  stay positive!

You look freaking fantastic!! I feel like I can relate to you.....my goal is 170 (I think that is a good weight being 5'8") but I toss around the idea of 160! You look amazing!

You should be proud of yourself!

Thank you!!

I think I'm gonna try my best to get to my goal and then re-evaluate if needed.  160 may sound crazy to us now but who knows maybe once we're in the 170's we'll realize that 160 isn't so crazy after all!

amazing progress, you look wonderful!

Thank you!

You look marvelous Good for you!  If you lose more good but your almost at your goal kuddos!

Congratulations!  You look awesome!  I know someone who would ask, how much have you lost? what's your goal weight? or how much more do you want to lose?  That way they can do the math and figure out the weight you started at!
